How do you light your driveway?
Your driveway will shine brightly using our pedestal lamps. Bringing in these classic shapes compliments your home.
Remember - a pedestal lamp is often the first thing a guest will notice about your home. You want this to reflect your exterior lighting style in the best way.
Pedestal lights offer so many possibilities - discover the variety of styles here.
What are pedestal lights?
As the name suggests, outdoor pedestal lamps are mainly used on plinths and walls. Attach your new light to a small ledge and separate your property from the street or other houses.
Often, a lamp that is mounted on a base is much smaller than a garden lamp. Pedestal Lamps are often only 40-50cm, but have a big impact on your exterior lighting.
Planning for the installation
Before installing, keep in mind that you will need an electrical outlet to operate the lamp. You should therefore plan the appropriate electrical lines when building the wall the lamp will sit on. Also consider how you want to control the lamp once installed.
Would you prefer a conventional switch, a motion sensor or a smart solution? If you have not planned out any outlets in advance, you also need to consider this when purchasing.
We would recommend combining your new pedestal lamps with our EGLO Connect technology. Simply screw in a smart lightbulb, connect it to a remote control or app, and create a beautiful ambient lighting.
Degree of protection IP44 - installation information
A pedestal lamp can be exposed to extreme weather or other natural conditions outside due to the way it is mounted. Consider the safety on your lamp when you purchase it, as the environmental conditions indicate what degree of protection it will require. The more dust or moisture that is expected in one area, the higher the degree of protection that is needed.
IP44 is the standard protection class for outdoor use. You should always adhere to this safety standard for your garden lighting. To be on the safe side, we recommend that you always seek professional help when planning your exterior lighting for your patio or driveway.
What about style?
We offer an incredible range of designs from modern to classic pedestal lamps. This means that there is something for every taste. The elegant lantern-style shapes go well with more traditional homes. This style has a focus upon simple colours with curved and ornate shapes.
The LATERNA series has everything you would expect from a classic exterior light. The cast aluminium finish guarantees durability and the series also offers matching wall lights to compliment the style.
Motion sensors on your driveway
Security and comfort are always important aspects to consider. Combine a motion sensor to your pedestal lamp, only allow your home exterior to be illuminated when necessary. This is energy efficient and cost-saving, as you only use electricity when the motion sensor is actually triggered.
Consider the product description when you buy the motion sensor. The detection angle and other additional functions will vary per customer. The detection angle of the sensor should only cover your driveway or entrance area to ensure efficient illumination.
If the angle is too big for detection, the light will always come on when a car drives past. If it is too small of a detection angle, you and your guests may have to get close before the light comes on at all.
What are the IN materials and colours?
Your choice of outdoor lighting should reflect your design choice. Make sure that both style and function are considered here. Newer homes may focus on simple and timeless outdoor lighting.
With older buildings, consider classic designs. Outdoor LED pedestal lights combine two important things - efficiency and style. The built-in LED technology saves money because of the energy efficiency. These style of lights are particularly eye-catching, such as an anthracite-coloured pedestal lamp.
