Decorative Outdoor Lighting for the Garden

Decorative outdoor lighting make a strong contribution to beautifying the garden - whether for cosy evening get-togethers with the family or unforgettable garden parties on warm midsummer nights. The selection is huge: consciously selected outdoor lighting are an asset even in daylight. For example, there are colourful fairy lights and luminous stone-look globes.

At the entrance gate, beautiful bollard lights can welcome the newcomers. Path lighting marks the route to the invitingly lit entrance area, where outdoor lights with house numbers both create ambience and provide orientation. A whole variety of outdoor lighting can also be used in the green oasis behind ones house. This is where beautiful facade luminaires can make a remarkable impact when it comes to outdoor lighting.

Many natural materials such as wood, stone and ceramics are used to give garden lights a decorative look; weatherproof and easy-to-clean plastics in all the colours of the rainbow have also proved popular. Outdoor lights made of stone and other natural materials and outdoor lights made of plastic combine equally well, along with modern garden lights made of weatherproof metal such as stainless steel. Garden torches, pillar lights, recessed ground lighting, outdoor spotlights, LED candles, lanterns and many other model variants are available - from romantic, nostalgic candelabra lamp posts to decorative outdoor spotlights.

Outdoor Lighting for Patios and Balconies

The terrace or balcony is the number one meeting place outdoors in the home. To ensure all-round comfort, outdoor lighting for patios need to be cleverly planned. If the functional basic lighting is supplemented by outdoor lamps used primarily for decorative purposes, the ambience is greatly enhanced.

Wall lighting that draw beautiful patterns of light on the wall, attractive outdoor floor lighting and discreet recessed ground lighting often form the basis of patio lighting. Spherical lamps are a preferred form of decorative outdoor lighting that create a relaxing atmosphere on the patio with their mild light glow. Table lighting is also of central importance for lighting concepts: LED candles are a popular variant that provide subtle brightness.

LED and Solar Lamps for Outdoors

One of the many advantages of the increasingly popular LED lamps is that the light-emitting diodes are capable of emitting light in bright colours. Powerful LED lamps with a colour changer can even produce many different colours of light, with all the shades of the rainbow represented in an infinite number of gradations. Another key advantage is that LEDs consume much less electricity to produce the same brightness as incandescent lamps and energy-saving bulbs (compact fluorescent light bulbs).

Another popular variant is solar lights, whose battery is charged by the sun during the day. Solar lamps are particularly widespread in the field of decorative lighting, for example as garden globes or fairy lights.

Festive Ideas for Garden Lighting

Summer garden parties are among the most memorable events of the year. All the more so if they are accompanied by atmospheric lighting! Fairy lights and lantern garlands are a universally popular form of festive garden lighting for a party atmosphere. Another option for garden lighting is powerful spotlights attached to trees that bathe the branches in a beautiful bright glow. Wall torches create a lot of atmosphere, whether as traditional oil torches or in modern designs with LEDs. Illuminating the facades of a house, summer house etc. with outdoor wall lighting ensures that lively celebrating guests can tread safely.

Of course, the dark winter season also offers excellent opportunities for atmospheric outdoor lighting, with outdoor lighting for Christmas being particularly popular. Trees and plants decorated with lights are a sight to warm the heart not only during Advent.
