Outdoor lighting is not only useful, it's also practical and aesthetically pleasing. However, good garden lighting comes at a price. For quality lighting, you need to choose fixtures that are sufficiently powerful and efficient. So, if you don't want to see your energy bill soar, know that it's possible to reconcile efficiency and budget. We'll show you all the options for lighting your garden well and saving money at the same time.
The solar bollard: an economical, powerful and practical solution
Need to mark out a path, delimit the contours of a terrace or guide visitors to your entrance? Choose a solar-powered bollard. Functional and aesthetically pleasing, it guides your footsteps thanks to its specially-adapted diffusion power. The classic bollard is often used to delimit paths and punctuate walkways. However, their installation requires the passage of cables and electrical wiring that need to be considered in advance. By opting for a solar-powered bollard, you save yourself the time and trouble of having to connect the cables to mark out your path. Simply plant your lamps at regular intervals, and your path is illuminated economically. Lumihome offers a wide range of models, such as the Venus LED solar bollard, equipped with intelligent motion detectors.

How to choose outdoor solar lighting?
Lighting your garden economically is possible. Solar lamps are an excellent alternative to traditional lighting solutions. When choosing them, there are three important criteria to bear in mind.
1 - Lighting power
It's indispensable. Forget the low-priced lights available in supermarkets. They don't perform well, give very little light and are of no use to you. Opt for quality, and don't forget to check the lumen rating of your luminaire. For path marking, 100 lumen solutions are sufficient. Simply multiply the light points to create a beautiful, practical but not blinding effect.
2 - Luminaire autonomy
This is also an important criterion to consider when making your choice. Most Lumihome models are equipped with a motion detector and three lighting modes. If you want continuous lighting throughout the night, Lumihome solutions offer 8 hours of autonomy. The other lighting modes allow the luminaire to switch on only when a presence is detected.
3 - Lamp sealing
Your luminaires will be constantly exposed to the outdoors, rarely under cover. So it's important to opt for quality solutions that meet waterproofing standards. To be sure of making the right choice, refer to the IP rating of your lamp.
It's possible to light up your garden and save money at the same time. Today's high-performance solar solutions (up to 2,000 lumens) are the best way to enjoy quality lighting on a budget. What's more, there's a whole range of solutions and increasingly aesthetic models to suit your every need.
