Tips for the Right Garden Lighting
 

When the days get longer and warmer, we like to get outside in the evening. There are many occasions for a cosy or social stay in the garden: No matter whether you make yourself comfortable with a book and a glass of wine or invite friends and family to a garden party - with the right garden lighting, the right mood is guaranteed!

Our tips will help you find the right outdoor lighting and add that special touch to your home garden!

Lighting Planning and Implementation of Garden Lighting

When planning the right garden lighting, you should consider the following points in advance:

  • Which area is to be illuminated?
  • Which lamps and lights are suitable?
  • Will the light be solar-powered or operated via a power connection?
  • Does the garden light have the right IP rating?
  • How can the garden lighting ensure safety?
  • What are the benefits of smart outdoor lighting?

Tips for Lighting Accents in the Garden

  • Set light accents by equipping flower beds, trees or shrubs with light sources. LED outdoor spotlights are suitable for this purpose, as are decorative solar globes, which are real eye-catchers and can be discreetly integrated into your greenery thanks to their simple shape.
  • If you decorate trees and bushes with fairy lights or lanterns, make sure that there are no tripping hazards due to cables lying around.
  • For an atmospheric lighting mood, handy table lamps are suitable as garden or patio lighting. Depending on where they are used, these can not only be set up but also hung.

Find the Right Garden Lighting

If you want to illuminate your garden or patio, there are various atmospheric light sources to choose from:

  • Wall lights
  • Path lights
  • Ground recessed spotlights
  • Garden Bed lighting
  • Pond lighting
  • Decorative globe lights
  • Lanterns and fairy lights

Solar Garden Lights: Practical and Economical

Solar garden lighting is not only practical but also economical. When you use solar for your garden lighting, the sun serves as the power source! As an alternative to garden lights with electricity and a socket, you can set up solar garden lights with a ground spike flexibly and obtain atmospheric garden light without electricity costs.

Compared to conventional light sources, LED garden lights are more economical and have a longer life. LEDs have the additional advantage that they are dimmable and can even change colour. This allows you to create colourful light sources that create a good mood not only on summer evenings.

Pay Attention to Protection Class and IP Rating

It's not only the external properties that count - when it comes to garden lighting, it's also the internal properties that matter! Not every light is suitable for outdoor use. After all, lamps used outdoors need to be weatherproof and protected against solid foreign bodies and the infiltration of liquids - this applies especially to lighting mounted on garden ponds. The IP protection class provides information on this. The classification of whether a light is suitable for use as garden lighting is made on the basis of two code numbers, each of which tells you how high the level of protection against foreign bodies and liquids is.

Use Path and Wall lighting to Prevent Tripping Hazards

Recessed ground spots, post lights or spotlights - path lighting provides light and safety not only in the driveway or at the entrance to the house but also in the garden, where they illuminate garden paths and, above all, raised areas and steps. Thanks to an integrated motion detector, the luminaires switch on automatically when a person approaches. This has two advantages: First, you save money because the path lighting ist not switched on all the time. Secondly, garden lights with motion detectors attract more attention and draws the eye when it switches on as someone passes by. This further reduces the risk of stumbling.

With wall lights, you can not only create accents, but also ensure safety with the additional light. Outdoor lighting that can be mounted on the wall of a house or fence often have a spotlight with which the light cone can be individually adjusted and directed. This way, the wall light on the house façade can emit its light both upwards and downwards.

Smart Garden Lighting

With Smart Home lighting for outdoors, you can conveniently control the light of your garden lighting from anywhere. You can dim or change the colour of your lamps by remote control or use the appropriate settings to create a specific lighting concept that lets your garden shine in cool or warm light until late at night.

Buying Garden Lighting - The Agony of Too Many Options

Admittedly, anyone considering the right garden lighting is initially spoilt for choice. For the world of lamps and lighting has a lot to offer when it comes to outdoor lighting! Whether it's colourful fairy lights in the trees, simple elegance with globe lights in different sizes, practical recessed floor spotlights or unusual illuminated statues- find the lighting that suits you and your garden.
