Lamps "semi-antique" will transform the adjoining territory, adding to it the flair of the past

As for additional design features, manufacturers have taken care of a motion sensor, a rotary product body, turning on a solar battery during daylight hours, as another way to save money, as well as a built-in battery.

Motion and light sensor, swivel housing

Many people think about energy saving, this is our finances. A motion sensor presented by an infrared detector will help in this matter.

No, the sensor will definitely work on a cow passing through the site, well, you don't need to let such large animals in at night, and the sensor will not work!

There is a second way to automate lighting. To do this, choose a design with photo relayresponsive to changes in illumination. Twilight - the LED started, dawn - turned off.

It is especially convenient if the luminaire has a remote control and the ability to program the required operating time.

Swivel housing offers additional opportunities to set lighting at the desired angle and direction

For example, 50,000 hours of work at night equals 14 years of service.

Color temperature will be another important characteristic, but here we focus on our requirements.

If brightness control is required, then you need to choose models with dimmer.

It is also worth considering carefully the operating temperature range that is typical for your region.

Placement rules: where to install street lighting

Since the colors of street lamps are different, it is necessary to distribute their location, focusing on the light emitted by them. Yellowish colors can be safely sent closer to the water surface. If you have purchased multi-colored underwater LEDs, then you should check on the first evening which color combinations give the most advantageous effect.

It looks great!

Choose your lighting according to your taste, but do not spend money on low-quality products, this is the very case when the miser pays twice.
