Garden lighting is of great importance not only for its aesthetics, but also functionality. The selection of appropriate fixtures and light sources is important. You can choose fixtures with built-in lighting, but also those for which you need to choose appropriate LED garden bulbs . It is worth learning how to properly illuminate the garden.
Aesthetic values of garden lighting
When choosing garden lighting, we pay attention to its aesthetics. Here you can choose from floodlights, wall lamps, bollards, as well as lamps and garden lanterns. Facade lighting can be matched to the color of the facade, but also to the colors of the windows and doors. The style of such lighting can be more classic, matching rustic or Provencal, but also colonial facades. You can choose elegant frames made of steel or aluminum. Models with a round, tight plastic lampshade and an LED candle bulb will also be a good choice. A perfect solution for modern arrangements are facade luminaires whose light sources are built-in and directed at the façade. Such models are primarily used to decoratively illuminate the building and perfectly enhance its aesthetics.

Practical aspects of garden lighting
Garden lamps can be mounted on the terrace, under the ceiling, at the entrance to the house or on an external wall. Such lamps should be resistant to external factors and here you should pay attention to the IP tightness level. You can choose garden lighting with an IP 44 class, which is resistant to splashing water from all directions. Garden lamps with an increased degree of protection - IP 54 - are also available. This class provides greater protection against dust. If you want to choose fixtures that are resistant to flooding, you should choose the highest tightness class, i.e. IP 67 or IP 68. Such tightness is necessary for drive-on fixtures. Garden lamps differ in terms of light flux and angle of distribution. A larger angle in the case of wall lamps provides illumination of a larger space. Many garden lamps are spotlights and provide a focused beam of light. When it comes to light output, you should pay attention to the number of lumens. Garden lighting can be adapted to the standard voltage of 230 V, but also 12 V or 24 V. The latter applies to LED strips for outdoor use. You can also choose solar lamps, which provide even greater energy savings.
How to light your garden well?
To properly illuminate the garden, you should select luminaires for a given space so that they ensure comfortable use of the driveway and yard after dark. It is certainly important to use garden lamps with motion and dusk sensors. A garden lamp with a PIR sensor may be a good choice. It is important that the light distribution angle is as wide as possible. It can be above 80 degrees. Pole lamps will work well along the path. They can also be used alongside garden architecture, such as a gazebo, a bench or a pond. Garden lighting in the form of wall lamps is perfect for the terrace, but also next to the door. It is worth choosing wall lamps placed symmetrically on both sides of the entrance. A floodlight or a surface-mounted luminaire with a motion sensor will work well above the garage. It is worth paying attention to the surface of the space you want to illuminate. Path lighting should have 100 to 200 lumens. Floodlights and spotlights should be between 700 and 1,300 lumens, and motion sensor lights should be between 300 and 300 lumens.
