The attention paid to the lighting design of outdoor and wet locations is always subordinate to the choice of durable as well as high-performance and scenic luminaires: in order to make the environment more comfortable and enjoyable.
Each product and each material is characterised by special features that make it ideal for the different environments in which it is placed.
In the design process, a careful choice of outdoor materials according to the location is the first consideration when choosing a product.
Egoluce has chosen AISI 316L stainless steel for its outdoor and wet area luminaires.
AISI 316L stainless steel is a stainless steel alloy whose characteristics make it the perfect material for different types of outdoor and wet areas.
Thanks to these characteristics of resistance, luminaires made of AISI 316L stainless steel are ideal for being installed in various types of outdoor and wet environments: from the most classic to those known to be more complicated.
They are therefore perfect for swimming pools, spas, but also for more aggressive environments such as those subject to the action of saltiness: notoriously resistant up to 10km from the sea coast.
AISI 361L stainless steel has two peculiarities in its composition: the first is that it contains Molybdenum, a material that is very resistant to chemical corrosion; the second is that it is composed of Nickel in greater quantities than most stainless steels, which makes it extremely resistant to corrosion in aggressive environments such as marine ones.
In addition, AISI 316L stainless steel is a very poor heat conductor: it conducts 4 times less heat than standard steel and even 12 times less than aluminium. This is the reason why AISI 316L stainless steel products are perfect for lighting paths at the edge of swimming pools.
The combination of chromium-nickel-molybdenum and the low carbon content (the L in the acronym stands for "Low Carbon") allows AISI 316L stainless steel to resist even the action of chlorides.
Egoluce products made of AISI 316L steel do not only offer high performance from a technical and resistance point of view, but they also allow to create a comfortable, suggestive and scenic atmosphere to enjoy at best all outdoor spaces subject to humidity.
A good lighting design for outdoor spaces is essential to create an enjoyable and relaxing
atmosphere but the function of light is also to emphasise particular architectural details to
make the space more attractive.
Light can enhance volumes and give new life to even the simplest architectural elements such as stairs, walkways, balustrades and handrails. Light becomes an architectural element itself, but without neglecting its emotional character.
Outdoor lighting is much more than the simple act of installing a few fixtures around your home, it’s an art form that blends safety, functionality and ambiance into your garden, patio or poolside retreat. When done thoughtfully, the right light can transform any outdoor space into an enchanting extension of your living area: an inviting evening lounge, a dramatic backdrop for al fresco dinners or a quietly illuminated path that guides you home.
Lighting plays a key role in interior design, not only as a matter of functionality, but also because of its ability to transform spaces and influence our mood. New lighting trends in colour and materials focus on warm tones, bold combinations and advanced technologies.
Lighting inside a sacred space is an essential aspect that defines the environment, enriches the spiritual experience and inspires a deep emotional involvement in those who enter it. Light, in all its forms, symbolically represents divinity and inner guidance in sacred places. Its use must be studied with particular care to respect the sacredness of the place, enhance spirituality and accompany the faithful on an inner journey.
