Lighting zone

Zone 1 - IPx5

IP zones bathroom this is the wettest zone. If you want to place LED lighting in this zone you should think of light in the bath or shower, for example. The spots must always have a minimum of IPx5. The spots must be completely waterproof. These spots may only be connected to 12V and not to the usual 230V.

Zone 2 - IPx4

This is the area that falls just outside the shower. Think, for example, above the shower cubicle or around the bath. The lamps that you want to place here should still have a minimum value of IPx4. Our IP44 bathroom spots, for example, are very suitable for this zone. These spots can also simply be connected to 230V.

Zone 3 - IPx0

This concerns all other space in a bathroom. If you want to install LED recessed spots here, the spots must have a minimum value of IPx0. However, because spots often occur in multiple zones, it is best for the image to hang the same spots everywhere, so for example, in zone 3, simply also use ip44 spots,

There are no fixed rules for all places outside the above zones and the IP value may, therefore, be a lot lower. In most cases, this is then IP20. In some cases, IP20 spots can also be placed in the bathroom, but our advice is to always use spots with a minimum value of IP44 in the bathroom to prevent defects.

Installing LED spots

Installing LED spots installing LED spots are regularly called with questions about installing the LED spots. Now we are happy to talk to people, but for everyone who does not climb into the phone too quickly, you will find below some tips on how to build in our spots. Installation depth of our installation spots There seem to be many misunderstandings about the installation depth of LED spots. Traditional lighting such as halogen spots loses a lot of energy due to heat. anyone who has ever replaced a lamp knows how hot a burning lamp can be. LED is much more efficient and stays almost cold. When you install a halogen spot you must take the heat into account and therefore take into account additional installation space around your fixture to prevent any damage. With LED lighting you already have enough installation space when you keep the size of the fixture, for the simple reason that you do not have to take the heat into account.
