We have just had our house restored with completely new interior and exterior lighting. I bought the exterior lights and he was quite happy to instal IP44 lights and issue the required certification

thank you for the reply thats very interesting as the electrician we have had a quote of is insistent upon ip65 lights to comply "he says" with italian regulations, will have to do more checking
