Steltz creates beautiful outdoor spaces with lighting

MANILA, Philippines - As an extension of one’s indoor living, it only makes perfect sense to put the same careful thought in creating al fresco areas where the style and comfort of indoor spaces flow through.

For Jennifer Stelton Jose, president  of Steltz, The Gallery, making the perfect outdoor setting can be as simple as knowing what lights to use and where to place them. “Lights can create or enhance a mood while providing added security to your property. There are lights that can be used to illuminate pathways on the ground or high up in the form of lampposts; highlight beautiful landscapes; provide a welcoming glow to an entryway; or create drama to a building or home façade,” she notes.

Because outdoor spaces are exposed to elements every day, Jennifer says that homeowners should always consider the quality of the brand. Asking about the IP rating of outdoor lighting products is the first step to making a sound decision.

 “IP stands for Ingress Protection which classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion such as dust, accidental contact, and water by mechanical casings and electrical enclosures. The higher the IP rating, the better the protection a product has against rust, corrosion and even electrical malfunction,” she points out.

Stetlz, which carries a great selection of unique and elegant lighting fixtures from high-end brands, has a complete line of outdoor lighting systems that not only illuminate outdoor spaces well after dark but also provide elegant accents to any home.

For instance, LEDS-C4, Steltz’ brand partner from Spain, and Flos from Italy have a wide range of decorative outdoor and specialty landscape fittings that can be placed in different areas of the house such as the patio, pool or fountain, on the porch, driveway, terrace, balcony or deck.

Customers may seek the assistance of Steltz for their outdoor projects in the form of recommendations including proper placement of lights, wattage, distance, and finding the right fixture for a desired outcome.
