Garden Lighting Buyer’s Guide – create captivating lighting effects in your garden
Garden lighting for various purposes
Before you start browsing through all our garden lighting, you need to be clear about the purpose of the lighting. You could say that garden lighting can fulfil three different functions. It can be functional, used to create ambience, or for security. This means that with the right placement and brightness, you can, among other things, make it easier to see where your wooden deck begins and ends, create ambient environments where you can get together, and make the garden less inviting for burglars.
Choose the right garden lighting
- Ground spotlights
This type of lighting is embedded in the ground, wooden decks, or paving stones, making it very discreet while providing an eye-catching light when darkness comes. Ground spotlights can also be placed to illuminate different garden objects, trees, or flowers. Many plants look absolutely magical when illuminated from below.
- Floodlights
Outdoor floodlights may be less discreet than ground spotlights, but they are much more flexible because they can be easily moved around the garden. This makes them perfect when you want to illuminate special objects without needing to embed the lights in the ground.
- Ground lanterns
Ground lanterns are standing outdoor lights that can be inserted into the ground. These lights are both functional and provide mood lighting. They can be placed in flowerbeds or along footpaths to create ambience.
Brightness and colour of garden lighting
When choosing lighting for your garden, both the brightness and the colour of the light are important. In areas where the purpose of lighting is to create a harmonious and ambient environment, a dim and golden light is best suited. If the purpose of the lighting is for orientation in the dark, you should choose a stronger white light instead.
