More about the brand IP44.de


The company IP44.de stands for high-quality, award-winning outdoor lighting from Germany that is functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Bernd Schmalhorst founded the innovative lighting company in 1993 with the specific goal of creating excellent outdoor lighting. At that time, the third generation of the Schmalhorst family had been running a lighting business in Rheda-Wiedenbrück near Gütersloh, and always dissatisfied with the existing range of outdoor lighting. The company's own brand should remedy the situation and develop luminaires that would meet the highest demands on quality and technology, yet be in no way inferior to the beauty of high-quality lamps for living spaces. Today, IP44.de works in well-established cooperations with external designers, whose ideas complement the company's many years of expertise.

Outdoor lights by IP44.de follow a clear design language and a well thought-out colour concept that harmonizes very well with popular building materials and facade colours. The architectural colours Anthracite, Cool Brown, Pure White, Deep Black and Space Grey are applied as a hard-wearing powder coating and present themselves with stylish matt surfaces.

The company's self-image can be read from its name: the "IP44" protection code describes the minimum degree of protection against moisture and foreign bodies that an outdoor luminaire should have. In fact, most of the brand's lamps meet much higher standards. They are designed to stay outdoors for years, where they are exposed to wind and weather. With their high level of protection, they are also suitable for unprotected areas in the garden and on facades. The abbreviation "de" refers to Germany and thus to the "typically German" quality standards of the brand. In concrete terms, this means the use of high-quality LEDs and imperishable materials such as aluminium, glass and stainless steel. The design is well thought out, the workmanship is precise and the lighting technology is constantly being improved. This is how the company's own IvyLight LED technology was created, which optimizes efficiency and light quality.

The IP44.de catalogue includes lamps for all outdoor applications. For the presentation of outdoor architecture and as indispensable lighting for house facades, there are wall and ceiling lights, spotlights and bollard lamps for permanent installation, which become a permanent part of the architecture. Their design is universal, with simple geometric shapes and no superfluous details, making them compatible with any architectural style, remaining discreetly in the background or standing out as elegant accents, even during the day when the light is off.

In addition to these essential, functional light sources, IP44.de also offers a large selection of lampps for cozy evenings outdoors. They carry the elegance and functionality of high-quality living room lights tothe outdoors and shine with their versatility and flexibility. Balcony, terrace and garden become an inviting place, and many activities are perfectly accompanied with light. These are reading lights next to the garden bench, glare-free table lighting on the balcony, bright islands on the lawn and atmospheric chains of lights in the branches of a tree. With long power cables and ground spikes or with rechargeable batteries and even photovoltaics, they offer great freedom and perfectly support a spontaneous and carefree lifestyle.

The latest outdoor lights by IP44.de use powerful solar panels and integrated rechargeable batteries for a particularly convenient and environmentally friendly operation. Since they work independently of the power grid, they do not cause any energy costs, do not require any annoying cables and do not occupy a wall socket. The solar panels are either seamlessly integrated into the lamp itself or connected via a short cable. Luminaires with the automatic twilight function offer a particular convenience: Here the luminaire activates by itself in the evening and switches off again after a certain time. In combination with solar technology, this means a completely self-sufficient illumination and thus optimum comfort. The automatic deactivation also prevents the lamps from being left on all night by accident, reducing light pollution, which is as beneficial to wildlife as it is to humans.

IP44.de strives to further improve the environmental friendliness of its outdoor lighting with new ideas and approaches. Not only are new lamps developed with this in mind, but the existing product range is often being revised according to latest developments. In 2023, IP44.de switched all LED lamps to the particularly warm white colour temperature of 2700K. According to studies, 2700K is particularly insect-friendly because its light spectrum has few UV and blue components. It largely dispenses with the parts of the colour spectrum that nocturnal insects can perceive best, and thus has no negative impact on the animals' ability to find their way at night. But even people benefit from this in two ways: first, the lights attract less insects, and secondly, the long-wave reddish light is perceived as very relaxing and creates an inviting atmosphere.

IP44.de believes that every place deserves great light. To ensure this also in the future, the company is always ready for innovations, but only integrates new technologies when they are genuinely convinced of their quality and performance. IP44.de is still a family business based in Rheda-Wiedenbrück, where development, sales and logistics take place under one roof. Luminaires by IP44.de can now be found all over the world, and many important design awards also prove the company's success, including the Good Design Award, Red Dot Award, Design Plus, iF Award, the Iconic Awards and the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany.
