The warm weather is approaching. You've cleaned the garden furniture, taken out the deckchair and dusted off the barbecue. But what about the outdoor lighting? If you want to enjoy your garden as soon as night falls on long summer evenings, you need pleasant, effective lighting. But which lights should you choose? How do you illuminate summer evenings outdoors? Here are our ideas.
1 - Illuminated bollards to outline your terrace
To continue enjoying your terrace and dining with friends after dark, quality lighting is essential. You can opt for recessed spotlights, but outdoor LED bollards are also a solution. Timeless, they are often available in different sizes to illuminate both small and large areas. Discover Lumihome's wide range of models. Their avant-garde look will illuminate your terrace with style and efficiency. Discover Luxor, Pyramide and Liberty bollards. Available in different heights, they offer powerful lighting with low power consumption, and meet the highest manufacturing standards. Ideal for outdoor use!
2 - Decorative lighting to create a warm atmosphere
Outdoor lighting has a practical function, of course. But you can also install decorative outdoor lights to add a touch of originality to your terrace, for example. The low-intensity light of decorative outdoor fixtures isn't enough to illuminate your garden, but the effect on your guests is guaranteed! Discover the Lumihome light sphere. With its IP65 protection rating, it can even be installed in damp areas.
You can also opt for a luminous LED garland. Synonymous with conviviality, it can be fixed to the trunk or branches of a tree, on a wall of canisses or on a jar placed on the ground. The possibilities are endless. Discover the Lumihome outdoor garland pack. Its 7.5-meter length will enable you to decorate your entire outdoor space for aperitifs and barbecues.
3 - Lighting for your pool
Are you one of the lucky ones with a swimming pool? To make the most of it and keep cool when the heat sets in, you need to invest in quality lighting. Not only will it allow you to enjoy midnight swims, it will also add value to your pool. Equip yourself with Lumihome 12V fixtures. Specially designed to illuminate pool surrounds, this range will bring the right lighting ambience to your pool, for an enhanced exterior and a safe water feature. You're all set for a pool party!
4 - Recessed spotlights for terraces and paths
If you have small children, outdoor bollards may not be a good idea. There's a risk of them being hit by balls or toys, or of your children running into them and catching their feet. So, to mark out your paths and the contours of your terrace, you can opt for Lumihome's recessed spotlights. "As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, it's good to be able to enjoy the mild temperatures and summer evenings. By installing recessed spotlights, you define a real living space outside the home, explains Christophe Coelho. Discover our range and create custom lighting by positioning your fixtures at regular intervals."
5 - Wall lights for a welcoming terrace
In summer, the terrace is where we spend most of our time. It's the ideal place to relax, chat with friends or simply dine. So it's this space that you need to illuminate first. Once you've defined the contours with recessed spotlights and bollard lights, it's a good idea to bring in light from above. Discover Lumihome's 230V wall lights, which will add a whole new dimension to your convivial moments.
6 - A table lamp to light up a staircase
Does your exterior have a few steps? Now's your chance to light them up too! Not only will this make access safer, but putting lights here and there on your staircase will also add a little extra charm to your exterior. Lumihome offers you the Picasso solar lantern. Like a giant candlestick, this timeless bollard can be placed on your steps, near garden furniture or at the ends of your terrace for atmospheric lighting. "Its UV booster makes it very efficient, and its lighting selector allows it to adapt to your needs", explains Christophe Coelho.says Christophe Coelho.
7 - A hanging lamp transforms the terrace into a living room
In summer, we spend more time outside than inside the house. That's why it's important to design your terrace accordingly. Furniture, decor, lighting... every element is important for your comfort. So, if your terrace is covered by a pergola or a shelter, you can enhance it with a hanging lamp, just as you would in your living room. Discover Lumihome's Ventana suspension and fall in love with its timeless style.
8 - Solar lighting for planters and borders
It's important to remember that outdoor lighting also has a decorative function. A practical exterior is all well and good, but a functional garden that's pleasing to the eye is even better! What better way to achieve this than with solar lighting? Ecological and economical, it allows you to illuminate and add little touches of light after dark, thanks to the stored energy of the day. "Place a few solar lamps in your planters or around your borders for a garden lit up as soon as dusk falls, says Christophe Coelho. The Lumihome solar range stands out from conventional solar lights thanks to its power and the quality of its solar collectors." Quick to install, Lumihome solar lights can be placed wherever you like, providing bright, efficient light for enhanced exteriors and beautiful summer evenings.
There are many ways to brighten up your summer evenings. Bear in mind, however, that whatever light you choose, you'll need to make sure it's waterproof and suitable for outdoor use, to withstand rain, wind and bad weather.
