As generally known that the wall lights are installed outdoors on most occasions where there is any outside of a permanent building. There are many outside factors that will affect the wall light lifespan, such as thunderstorms, hot and humid environments, windage, etc. Of course, people will normally ignore windage factors. In this passage, we will surround the topic of the influence of windage on lights and how to maintain light fixtures to an extent.
LED wall light classification
The LED wall light is one kind of efficient and energy-saving light for outdoor and indoor lighting, There are various types of wall lights like lantern wall lights, flush-mount wall lights, swing arm wall lights, up and down lights, wall sconces, picture lights, LED strip lights, and wall washers, they are an excellent way to add character and ambiance to both the interior and exterior of your space.

The material and outside pressure
Different structures of LED wall lights are made from various materials combined together. A good material of a lamp body can have a strong resistance outside preventing erosion, forced vibration, and other pressures. Windage is one of the material stress resistances, while its stress level influence is also different depending on various situations. Let’s move to the relationship between them.
Relationship between windage and wall light material
Windage is the air resistance of a moving object, such as a vessel or a rotating machine part, or the force of the wind on a stationary object. Compared to indoor LED wall lights, outdoor LED wall lights more easily be destroyed, because the wind load can exert force on the fixtures. Windage happens at any time with different strengths, while strong winds may cause the fragile lamps to sway, rattle, or even fall off if the Installation condition and robustness are not good. According to the situation, an ordinary glass lamp shade will be more easily broken than a gold lamp body under the strong wind influence, of course, the level of damage is also related to lamp size, lamp material, installation ways, etc.
How to reduce the influence of windage on outdoor wall light?
To reduce the force impact from the windage on LED wall lights, we should start with several aspects.
- Choosing light: The first rule is choosing a higher EPA which is more susceptible to wind forces when we take into account the shape and size of the fixture, as well as its drag coefficient. On the other hand, choose a wall lamp that fits against the wall and has minimal overhang. This reduces the leverage of wind on the fixtures.
- Structural integrity: The materials and design of outdoor wall lights must be robust enough to withstand wind pressure, This includes using durable materials like metal or reinforced plastic and ensuring secure mounting.
Installation way
Outdoor wall lights are exposed to wind, which can exert force on the fixtures. This is especially important for lights installed at heights or in open areas where wind speeds can be significant. Installation ways are also integrate the above 2 points, just check the details below.
Tips for high Wind Areas:
Focus on design: Choose wall lights that are close-mounted to the wall and have minimal overhang. This reduces the leverage wind has on the fixture.
Material considerations: Select strong, weather-resistant materials like metal (aluminum or steel) or thick glass. Avoid lightweight materials or those that can shatter easily (like plastic or thin glass).
Tips for lower Wind Areas:
Design flexibility: You can have more options for fixtures with arms or that hang further from the wall.
Material options broaden: A wider range of materials like wood, fabric, or wicker become viable.
The ways to maintain outdoor LED wall lights
Proactive maintenance is key to keeping your outdoor wall lights shining brightly. Regularly check for loose screws, cracked fixtures, or water damage, especially after heavy storms or strong winds. A quick inspection can prevent a surprise blackout and ensure your outdoor haven remains safe and inviting.
Therefore, regularly cleaning and checking them could make more longer lifespan. What’s more, equipping the smart system with dimming control by phone through WiFi, Bluetooth, or Camsabi internet interface, by the way, you control the whole lighting on or off, or the health of the lights on your screen surface.
( Take the maintenance on and turn on your smart system, and make a big profit at the end. )
