Diff erent implementations of IP
Outdoor: IP in your garden
The IP rating required for outdoor articles depends on their
application:
Ground recessed spots
Since they have to be able to withstand all weather situations, as
well as temporarily being submerged, Massive ground recessed
spots are at least IP67.
t$FJMJOHSFDFTTFETQPUT
As they are protected from direct rain and require a lower IP rating
than other applications, Massive outdoor ceiling recessed spots have
an IP rating of at least IP23.
t0UIFSBQQMJDBUJPOT
For all other outdoor applications, Massive off ers articles with an IP
rating of at least IP43.
Transformers and drivers
t5SBOTGPSNFST
Transformers are devices that change an input voltage (for our
BSUJDMFTUIFNBJOTTVQQMZJOEJDBUFEXJUI13*JOUPBOPVUQVU"$
voltage or current that is suitable for the luminaire. In most cases our
transformers are SELV.
The capacity of a transformer is indicated in Volt-Ampere (VA), which
is equivalent to Watt. There are two types of transformers:
tConventional transformers work thanks to an iron core and
sets of
copper wire and are larger and heavier than electronic
transformers. They can be placed as far from the light source as
needed, as long as the thickness of the connecting wire is adapted
accordingly. For Massive articles where the transformer is included,
this is clearly explained in the manual.
tElectronic transformers work thanks to electronic components,
an inverter being the most important part. They are smaller and
lighter than conventional transformers. The wire connecting the
transformer with the light source can be at most 2 m long.
$IPPTJOHUIFSJHIUUSBOTGPSNFS
When installing multiple SELV light sources on a single transformer,
their total capacity may not exceed the total capacity of the
transformer. For example, when installing 5 spots of 20 W, a
transformer of at least 100 VA is required. The most common

3. Switching and dimming
Passive Infrared (PIR) switch
An infrared motion sensor switches on the light when there is a
signifi cant change in temperature in its detection area, caused by, for
example, a person or a car.

last detected movement, it will turn the light off and go into its
normal automatic status.

function from dusk till dawn in its automatic status. A discreet switch
on the sensor allows the light intensity at which the luminaire starts
and stops working to be adjusted manually.

Day-night light sensor switch
A day-night sensor automatically switches the luminaire on when it
gets dark and off when it gets light again.

and off again when there is more. A discreet switch on the sensor
makes it possible to set the light intensity at which the luminaire
turns on and off .
Electronic pulse switch
The electronic pulse switch is integrated in luminaires with two diff erent
light sources that can be turned on alternately. An example is a luminaire
that can be used for either accent lighting or general lighting.
