You’ve decided to invest in lighting for your outdoor space and know exactly what you want and where you’d like it. But …

• Have you thought about which materials will work best?
• Have you considered where you live?
• Do you know how the weather affects your choice?

It’s important that your outdoor lighting meets the demands of the environment in which it is placed. Here’s a snapshot of popular outdoor lighting materials to help you make a decision:

Die Cast Aluminium

Stainless Steel

• Contemporary and sleek aesthetic.
• Retains its ‘new’ look if you clean it well.
• Holds up well against corrosion due to its protective layer of chromium oxide.
• However, this layer of chromium oxide can be compromised by sand and dirt. If you live in a dry, dusty area, it’s recommended that you clean your fixtures regularly.

Fumagalli Shockproof Resin

• Very durable.
• Won’t absorb any moisture from the air and can withstand high temperatures without cracking.
• Rust and corrosion-free.
• UV stabilised so won’t fade from exposure to sunlight.
• Includes silicon rubber gasket to ensure high protection against external agents.
• Lifetime warranty.
