Wibre is a world-leading manufacturer of underwater and exterior lighting fittings, offering recessed and surface-mounted fixtures for almost every application, from pools and fountains to buildings, bridges, parks and more.
Since its launch in 1919, has been a world leader in underwater lighting with everything from pools to fountains. As pioneers of IP68 Lighting, Wibre utilises the latest LED technology and precise manufacturing techniques to develop products of premium quality, durability and cutting-edge performance.
Most fittings are constructed using medical grade 1.45761 stainless steel – more commonly referred to as ANSI 316Ti. This alloy is primarily used in shipbuilding and stabilised with titanium to provide exceptional corrosion resistance enabling long term use in urban and industrial situations with fresh or chlorinated water.
For saline applications, enhanced 1.4539 (ANSI 904L) stainless steel is used. Similar to the steel used for Rolex watches, this super-austenitic nickel-chromium-molybdenum-copper alloy is resistant to numerous organic and inorganic acids, making it ideal for salt concentrations up to 3.5%.
The tempered safety glass used in all luminaires is specially manufactured in Germany to provide impact resistance in excess of IK11 (EN 62262-2-75) to withstand accidental or willful damage. The clear Optiwhite has no greenish tinge enhancing the exceptional optical performance.
