Outdoor lighting enhances homes. Aesthetically pleasing, it's also highly practical. But how do you do it when you haven't thought it through beforehand? How do you illuminate exteriors when the electrical connections are non-existent? You think it's impossible? Well, withsolar-powered lighting it's perfectly possible to light a terrace without electricity. We tell you how.
Solutions for lighting a terrace without electricity
There are several solutions for illuminating and enjoying your terrace without the need for electricity. But not all solutions are created equal. We'll help you make the right choice.
Bad ideas
When summer arrives and you want to make the most of your terrace in the evening, you might be tempted to buy battery-powered lamps. Yes, they'll tide you over for a while, but you'll have to keep changing the batteries, and you'll soon tire of them. In addition to being impractical, these lamps are also expensive in the long run, as you'll have to buy batteries regularly. Not to mention the environmental impact! Batteries are difficult to recycle. So it's not a good idea. So how do you light your terrace without electricity? You can use candles. It's true that this solution is much more environmentally friendly than the first, but is it practical enough? And above all, is it really effective? A candle (or even several candles) may create an intimate, pleasant atmosphere for a romantic evening, but it won't light your terrace for long. Once again, it's not the answer.
Good ideas
To light your terrace without electricity, solar lighting remains the best solution. It's powered free of charge by the sun's energy, and features increasingly advanced technologies to provide lighting worthy of 230V. This is the case, for example, with Lumihome products, which offer brilliant lighting for terraces, driveways and walkways. It's an economical, practical and environmentally-friendly solution, which you can also place wherever you like. Although we tend to believe that solar lighting only works in good weather or in the sunniest regions, this is not true. It's all part of the cliché and misconception about solar lighting. Lumihome's solar-powered bollards and wall lights are equipped with a state-of-the-art solar collector that accepts less direct light to operate and recharge batteries efficiently. Yes, that's what solar lighting is all about. During the day, the battery captures the light and stores it wisely, then transforms it into energy to light up your home in the evening.
The best solar patio lights
To illuminate your terrace, you can choose between different types of solar products.
Solar wall lights
These LED lights provide powerful illumination, and are ideal for illuminating your terrace. At Lumihome, we offer a whole range of solar LED wall lights. The Venus range, for example, is very popular. It's equipped with a motion detector that allows your wall light to switch on only when it's needed, thus conserving its battery and eliminating unnecessary light loss. Easy to install, the Venus solar bollard is screwed directly onto the surface required. Its sober stainless steel design is perfectly suited to your terrace, whether traditional or contemporary. Take a look at our other solar wall-mounted models: Luna, Daytona or Living, you're sure to find the ideal solar solution for your terrace.
Solar bollards
Solar bollards are reserved for pathway and terrace lighting. They're the ideal way to illuminate your space. Solar bollards provide diffused, overhead lighting to create a pleasant atmosphere, without dazzling guests. "Discover our Venus or Luxor solar bollards and let yourself be charmed by their inimitable style and contemporary lines. The Luxor bollard has the great distinction of being timeless. It's not only efficient, it's also highly aesthetic and will add a certain charm to your terrace, both at night and during the day". Like the wall lights, Lumihome solar bollards are very easy to install. No cables to run, no connections to make, just screw the bollard onto the surface. Browse our site to discover our full range of solar bollards.
Solar spotlights
If you want to mark out your terrace, but have small children who play outside regularly, you may prefer solar spotlights to bollards. Integrated into your terrace, they are completely safe and add undeniable charm, whether your terrace is wooden or tiled. Lumihome has created a kit of 3 stainless steel recessed spotlights. Equipped with an offset solar panel, they can illuminate even the shadiest terraces, since you can place the offset solar panel in full sunlight. The evenly-spaced spotlights create a warm ambience and let you enjoy your terrace to the full, thanks to their 100 lumens per spot. Whether you want to read, dine with friends, or simply enjoy the cool summer evenings, solar spotlights will light up your terrace without the need for electricity.
Electricity is therefore not a necessity for effective patio lighting. Thanks to solar lighting, it's now possible to illuminate exteriors easily, efficiently, economically and totally ecologically.
