Planning balcony lighting



First of all, all balcony lighting should be planned carefully, as not every lamp is suitable for every balcony.


The main thing to consider here is whether there is a power connection or whether this is only available in the house or apartment. In principle, it would be possible to run a cable from inside to outside, but this would be rather impractical and closing the door would only be possible by unplugging the balcony lamp. To avoid this, you should either install a socket on your balcony, if this is not already available, or install one on the balcony. rechargeable battery and solar balcony lighting.


Where should you place your light?

With floor spots or spotlights, plants, decorative elements or the balustrade can also be beautifully illuminated.
