What to look for in carport lighting
There are a number of things to consider when lighting your carport and installing lighting. Installing the right lighting under your carport will ensure that your lighting lasts much longer. Most importantly, you need to pay attention to waterproofing. Choose a minimum waterproof rating of IP44. Also, choose a material that does not rust easily, such as stainless steel or aluminium.
The right number of spotlights under your carport
Choosing a wall light under your carport is straightforward. But if you choose recessed downlights, you want the right amount of light. To determine the right number of spotlights, we use the porch or canopy calculation method. It is best to place one spotlight every 1.8 metres. Of course, you will want to divide these up as much as possible between the different beams of your carport. This will give you a nice, evenly lit carport.
In-ground lighting under your carport
When choosing in-ground lighting, it is important to choose the right one. In any case, it is important that they are walkable. So choose high quality in-ground lights and a solid material, such as aluminium. If rain is likely to fall along the carport, or if you have a carport without a closed roof, we recommend choosing in-ground luminaires with a minimum IP rating of 67. Even when choosing IP67 in-ground luminaires, be aware of puddle formation. Do not place LED in-ground luminaires under your carport where puddles form. Even an IP67 rated in-ground luminaire will not withstand prolonged immersion in water.
Carport LED strips
LED strips are also great for use under a carport. The great advantage of LED strips for carport lighting is their flexibility. Because you can bend them into any angle or shape, they are very even and easy to install. Choose a good waterproof adhesive when installing the LED strips. This will ensure that the LED strips will last for years.
Wall lights under the carport
Finally, at INTOLED you will also find wall lights suitable for the carport. You have two choices here: you can choose to illuminate the wall of the carport or the car parked underneath. Choose an up and down wall light if you want to use wall lights for mood lighting and wall lights if you want to add accents.
