Welcome to the radiant world of IP44.DE: A beacon of excellence in outdoor lighting
A Legacy of Excellence
In 1993, the Schmalhorst family's lighting business, deeply rooted in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, East Westphalia and spanning three generations, discerned a gap in the realm of outdoor lighting aesthetics. Driven by an unwavering passion for perfection, the birth of IP44.DE was necessitated by the quest to craft outdoor luminaires that not only conformed to industrial standards (as denoted by "IP44") but also exceeded expectations in terms of both design and durability.
What commenced as a family lighting shop swiftly evolved into IP44.DE, a dynamic company propelled by an unrelenting pursuit of top-quality design. At its core, the company held a fundamental belief that every space, whether indoors or outdoors, merits exceptional illumination.
Pushing Boundaries in Luminaire Excellence:
The moniker "IP44" may denote robustness and suitability for outdoor environments, but IP44.DE goes beyond conventional standards, infusing a touch of perfection into every luminaire. A meticulous focus on detail is evident, harmonizing aesthetics and durability across surfaces. Foundational elements such as glass, stainless steel, and aluminum die-casting meet cutting-edge electronic components, including highly efficient and durable LED technology, ensuring prolonged and reliable performance in open-air settings.
Collaborative Brilliance:
IP44.DE's unwavering commitment to aesthetic excellence sparks collaborations with luminaire designers, resulting in a cascade of design awards. These luminaires not only endure the harshest weather conditions but also radiate the sophistication reminiscent of interior lighting.
Harmony of Aesthetics & Utility:
What distinguishes IP44.DE is the seamless merger of extraordinary aesthetics with flawless functionality. Crafted to endure extreme weather, these luminaires showcase German precision and craftsmanship.
Echoing the sentiment of design legends Ray and Charles Eames, "The details make the product," IP44.DE continues refining every detail for enduring longevity and operational efficiency.
Forward Momentum: Evolving with Innovation
A dedication to continuous improvement and innovation is evidenced in recent collaborations with designers like Klaus Nolting and Sebastian Büscher. New variants such as "slat one" and "slat spike" underscore the brand's ability to reinvent itself while steadfastly upholding core values.
As IP44.DE embarks on its next chapter, the mission remains resolute: to bestow truly exceptional light upon every space. The company's small, family-oriented ethos proves both a challenge and an advantage, enabling IP44.DE to concentrate on their expertise—creating outdoor luminaires of unwavering perfection.
In the words of entrepreneur Philipp Rosenthal, "If you stop getting better, you stop being good." For IP44.DE, the pursuit of perfection is a perpetual narrative, and with each passing year, they continue illuminating the world with elegance, sophistication, and the brilliance of truly exceptional light.
Harmonizing with Nature: IP44.DE's Dedication to 2700 Kelvin Brilliance
Enter a realm where outdoor lighting transcends aesthetics, embracing a symbiotic relationship with the natural world This shift is more than a stylistic decision; it reflects a conscientious choice to consider the needs of nocturnal insects while delivering atmospheric light and guidance.
Here are four compelling reasons why 2700 Kelvin stands as the ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts:
1. Guiding Nocturnal Navigators: Fly, Butterfly, Fly!
Light serves as a crucial guide not only for humans but also for creatures of the night like butterflies, moths, and other nocturnal insects. These beings navigate by moonlight, maintaining specific angles to stay on course. Artificial light can disrupt this natural guidance, attracting insects and diverting them from their path. IP44.DE's 2700 Kelvin luminaires minimize interference, allowing nocturnal navigators to follow their natural course undisturbed.
2. A Spectrum for Nocturnal Eyes: Seeing the Night Differently
Nocturnal insects perceive light in a spectrum distinct from the human eye. Luminaires with high UV or blue components can interfere with their natural guidance. The warm white light of 2700 Kelvin emits minimal UV light, making it more friendly to nocturnal insects. IP44.DE's choice of this color temperature ensures that our luminaires provide guidance without disrupting the delicate nocturnal balance.
3. Insects' Preferred Illumination: Warm White Wisdom
Warm white LEDs, predominant in the 2700 Kelvin range, contain a substantial amount of long-wave red light. Studies by Mainz zoologists indicate that warm white LEDs attract fewer insects compared to other light sources. Aligned with this research, IP44.DE has made warm white LEDs the foundation of our luminaires, crafting an outdoor lighting experience that is both exceptional and insect-friendly.
4. Bridging the Indoor-Outdoor Divide: Gentle Transition
The transition from indoor to outdoor spaces seamlessly blends with new standard color temperature of 2700 Kelvin. This warm and inviting hue not only benefits the environment and nocturnal insects but also aligns with the color temperature of most indoor luminaires. Experience a harmonious transition between inside and outside light, creating a welcoming atmosphere that extends beyond the boundaries of your home. IP44.DE, believes in lighting that transcends aesthetics, acknowledging the delicate ecosystems that surround us. With our commitment to 2700 Kelvin, we invite you to immerse yourself in outdoor illumination that enhances your space while respecting and protecting the beauty of the night.
