The UK climate makes outdoor event lighting a more specific engineering challenge than most product descriptions acknowledge. For outdoor events, the correct specification matters:
- IP65 minimum for any product that may be exposed to rain or water spray
- IP67 or above for products near water features or in high humidity environments
- Weatherproof connectors and cabling, not just a weatherproof body
- Temperature-rated components for events that run into cold UK evenings
Boardsy produces outdoor-rated LED products for the events market. The wireless RGB table centre format is particularly suited to outdoor events because it eliminates the cable management challenge.
