What Are Illuminated House Numbers?
An illuminated house number sign has LED lights built into the sign itself, making the numbers glow. Unlike typical house number signs, these are visible both day and night, making your home more accessible.
Much like other kinds of LED lights, illuminated door number signs come in a variety of styles, light colours and brightnesses. This makes it easy to find the one that best suits the style of your unique home. Choose from a variety of finish options to suit the existing colours of your outdoor space.
Why an LED House Number Light Is a Good Addition to Your Home
Having illuminated house number signs showing your address can improve upon your home’s outdoor aesthetic and functionality. They help create better first impressions, as they are one of the first things that your visitor is going to see.
Similarly, they can improve the perception of the space by providing enhanced safety and visibility. Guests can locate your home more easily from the street, making them ideal especially for darker roads and neighbourhoods.
The LED aspect itself of lighted house numbers has its own suite of benefits. Energy efficient and long lasting, LED lights can save money both on your budget and on upfront costs. They can last tens of thousands of hours as opposed to the 1,000 hours that a halogen bulb provides.
How to Match an Illuminated LED House Number to Other Lighting
Matching your illuminated custom house numbers is as simple as understanding the design and colour scheme of your home, especially the outdoor space. Opt for a shape and finish that matches the style of the house, whether that be modern or traditional.
Include it as a layer in your outdoor lighting plan. It counts as an accent or decorative light and will look its best when paired with ambient light sources on your porch. You can also pair it with task lighting in the form of pathway and step lighting leading up to the house.
Be sure that you are choosing a colour temperature that is within the range of existing lights in the area. Do not mix warm and cool lighting, as this can cause abrasive clashing.
Can You Install LED House Number Signs Yourself?
Adding lit up house numbers can be an exciting thing, as it enhances so many aspects of the appearance of your exterior space. You may feel eager to get to work installing them yourself, but before you dive in with your LED house sign, take a moment to consider the following.
Whether or not you can install lighted house number signs yourself depends on a few factors. Lights that connect to the mains power may need professional installation. These lights are also:
- lights that are hardwired into the electrical circuit of the property
- lights that need weatherproofing and sealing
- lights that need to comply with code
Electrical work falls under Part P of the Building Regulations in the UK. These regulations state that certain kinds of electrical work needs to be carried out by professionals. Outdoor lighting work is often under this code.
If you are not a qualified electrician, it is recommended that you do not try to install your backlit address numbers yourself. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you run the risk of accidentally electrocuting yourself. Less dangerously, you may end up with a result that you are not entirely pleased with.
Even so, you can still play a part in how the end results turn out. You can plan the placement, mounting height, power access and other aesthetic choices when it comes to your lighted address numbers.
Maintenance Tips and Advice
Maintaining your LED door number is an important aspect of having one. Like your other outdoor lighting, it will need to occasionally be examined and cleaned off.
To head off a lot of these maintenance tasks, you can purchase lights from the start that are built to withstand outdoor conditions. Be sure you have lights that are IP65 rated or higher to make it waterproof. You should also choose lights made from weather resistant material such as aluminium to prevent rust and corrosion.
That said, even with durable lighting, you will still need to perform maintenance, albeit minimal. On occasion, walk around and examine the lights, looking for any dust or debris. Use a soft microfiber cloth lightly dampened to wipe away the debris, avoiding abrasive cleaning solutions and harsh brush bristles.
While you check for debris, you should also look for any electrical issues that may need to be seen to. Look for:
- flickering or dimming lights
- mounting that is not secure
- cables that are frayed or damaged
- seals that are coming loose
If you see any of these issues, remedy them immediately to ensure you can enjoy the light for as long as possible.
What IP Rating Should Illuminated Outdoor House Number Lights Be?
Since your illuminated house sign is outdoors and at least partially exposed to the elements at all times, it is important for you to protect them from weather exposure. The best way to do that, besides buying durable custom house number signs, is to get the right IP rating.
IP ratings indicate how well a light stands up against damages from moisture and solids. LED house number signs with an IP rating of IP65 or above is recommended.
This waterproof IP rating keeps the lights safe from a number of hazards, such as rain and moisture, dust and debris blown in from the wind, fluctuations in temperatures and jet washing or cleaning.
