in Lighting?

Understanding Trafficable Light Fittings

Trafficable lights, also known as walk-over or drive-over lights, are designed to be installed flush with surfaces like driveways, pathways, and terraces. Built to withstand foot and vehicle traffic, these lights enhance outdoor aesthetics while providing safe and effective illumination.

Versatile Designs - Available in various shapes, sizes, and light outputs, trafficable lights can be used for highlighting architectural features, illuminating pathways, or adding ambience to outdoor spaces.

Common Applications

Driveways & Pathways - Installed along driveways or garden paths, these lights improve visibility for both pedestrians and vehicles.

Installation Considerations

Weight Load Capacity - Choose lights rated for their intended use. The HV2892T Mini Ollo Step or Inground Light is trafficable up to 600 kg, making it ideal for areas exposed to heavier loads.
Proper Sealing - To prevent water ingress, lights should be correctly sealed during installation, maintaining their IP rating.
Surface Compatibility - The mounting surface should be stable and suited to the fixture to ensure durability over time.

Trafficable lights are a practical and stylish addition to any outdoor space, offering durability, functionality, and safety. With the right installation and maintenance, they provide long lasting, reliable illumination for residential and commercial environments.
