As summer approaches, catenaries will ensure your outdoor area remains inviting and enjoyable long after sunset! Catenary luminaires are lighting fixtures suspended or hung from overhead cables, often in outdoor or urban settings. They are commonly used for street lighting, pedestrian walkways, plazas, patios, and outdoor parks or dining areas. Catenaries come with many benefits. They have aesthetic appeal and add visual interest and ambiance to outdoor areas. They come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, allowing customization to suit different architectural styles and lighting requirements. Since these luminaires are suspended, they can be installed where traditional lighting poles may not be feasible or desirable. Catenaries are typically installed in outdoor environments exposed to various weather conditions, so they need appropriate protection against dust ingress and moisture. One standard certification is an IP (Ingress Protection) rating, indicating the level of protection provided against intrusion by solid objects and liquids, such as dust and water. Additionally, they’re listed as “wet location,” meaning they’re specifically designed and tested to withstand exposure to rain, snow, humidity, and other elements. Let’s delve into catenary options to brighten up your space!
