Where can I place garden lights?


In the garden itself, suitable garden lighting is particularly suitable for staging your favorite areas. This can Bed , Bushes or trees are also the same Pond lighting

The green areas can be perfectly through LED Garden radiator or illuminate the garden ball lamps for outside, with that S.Luce 3 Set Globe is an effective and at the same time inexpensive variant.


The round lights can be easily stung into the ground with a spit and you get a pleasant ambience and even in winter. The S.Luce garden ball lamps are also available as hanging lights and can be easily attached to trees.


In addition to the entrance area and the green area, garden lighting can of course also be installed on the terrace, on the house wall, at the garden shed or-fence and on a gabion wall. There are many ways to create an atmospheric atmosphere here.


With external hanging places, Cube garden lamps  or simplify Outside wall lamps how the individually configurable S.Luce Pro Ixa , almost every area can be illuminated.


What do I have to pay attention to with garden lamps?


Every outer light is not suitable for every garden area - depending on whether your garden lighting is located under a canopy or it is out of the open, a different type of protection is necessary. This abbreviation comes from English and stands for Ingress Protection, which indicates both the penetration protection of foreign bodies and water sensitivity.


Your garden lamps should have at least IP44 in order to be protected from solid bodies> 1mm and splash water like rain. However, if your outer lights are next to a pool, pond or in the flower bed, it can happen that they are completely under water by spilling or pouring. Here the type of protection should be stronger or even the highest with IP68. 


Brightness of the garden lighting


As far as the brightness of the garden lighting is concerned, you can consider yourself 400 to 600 lumens to be a subtle light, although there is no limit upwards. The same applies to the light color, it depends on the application.


With the illuminant, LED garden lighting is a power -saving and technically high -quality choice and is therefore often installed in garden lighting. If you want a particularly environmentally friendly variant and look for a lamp that can be used practically everywhere, it is best to choose solar garden lamps.


How can I control my garden lighting?


Of course, you can use your lights with a light switch as usual, but now the smart home concept has also expanded into the garden area. Smart garden lighting like that Plug & Shine series Paulmann can then be conveniently controlled with remote control. This both thinks that you can switch your garden lighting with remote control and dim.


You can also get dimmable garden lamps from the luminous designer Faro Barcelona , whereby you can choose between the outer wall spot, garden light skewer or a dimmable soil light. In addition, waterproof LED strips from Prolight convince with their water protection and the possibility of dimming via PWM. Furthermore, you can control your garden lighting with motion detectors, which is particularly useful in the entrance area or for road lighting. Here SLV with the Ruba Sensor LED garden lamp has a lamp that can be used for walls and ceilings. 


How do I plan my garden lighting?


Depending on whether you are just building and your garden is created, you can rebuild it or you already have a perfect green area, you need to consider different things when planning your garden lighting. Above all, this affects the power connection, because garden lamps can either be connected to a socket on the house wall or at a garden socket, such as those at Faro Barcelona or SLV  are available.


These can easily be inserted into the ground with a spit and are available at scapetics with different cable lengths. Here, however, the laying of the earth's cable must be considered, because this should be laid frost -free and spad -proof, which is the case from a depth of approx. 80cm - the planning of the garden lighting is sometimes not so easy.


What does good garden lighting cost?


Stylish and high-quality garden lamps do not have to be expensive-with scapetics there is garden lighting at a top price. With our own brand S.Luce Mesh series are affordable garden balls in wire optics for every affordable and spread effective light shadow games in everyone outdoors. Also in the portfolio of the luminaire brand Nova Luce Find beautiful and modern LED garden lamps, for which they do not have to dig deep into their wallets.

  • Do the lights have to withstand certain weather conditions? Which IP protection types are therefore required?
  • Which light colors should the garden lighting have?
  • How are the lights supplied with electricity? Is a laying of earth cables necessary or is sunlight enough?
