Lighting solutions
Canopy lighting refers to recessed downlights installed in the underside of an exterior overhang, entrance soffits, gas station forecourts, building drop-offs, parking garage ceilings, walkway covers. The job description: glare-free, evenly illuminated surface below; weather-tight against driving rain; resistant to tampering. VYSN canopy-rated recessed downlights are IP65 (jet water from any direction), use die-cast aluminium housings and quarter-turn lock retainers.

A canopy soffit is technically "covered" but in practice gets full exposure to wind-driven rain, salt spray near coastlines, dust and pollen. IP44 fixtures are rated only for splash water and fail prematurely in this environment, typically with electrical contact corrosion and water ingress through the gasket. IP65 fixtures use a continuous moulded gasket compressed against the housing, and stay dry for the full 50,000-hour LED lifetime.
Canopy ceilings are typically 2.5–4 m above the ground. For an even floor-level light pattern with no dark spots between fixtures, space them at 1.0–1.5 × ceiling height (so 2.5–6 m apart depending on canopy height) and use 60–90° beam angles. Narrow beams create accent pools but leave dark gaps; wide beams give the smooth even wash that gas stations and entrance canopies need.
No, indoor IP20 fixtures will fail within 1–3 years under canopy exposure. Even covered canopy soffits get wind-driven rain and humidity that indoor fixtures aren't sealed against. Use IP65 canopy-rated fixtures only.
Look for an IK rating in addition to IP. IK08 (5-joule impact resistance) handles incidental knocks. IK10 (20 joules) survives deliberate vandalism and is the right choice for low-mounted fixtures in publicly accessible areas. VYSN offers both ratings depending on the model.
