Outdoor floor lamps: a garden essential
Your best safety ally
We'll never stop saying it: a well-lit house is a well-protected house! Dark areas are an invitation to intruders. To remedy this and create good lighting, you can install bollards, spotlights and wall lamps, but if you want efficiency, nothing beats the power and height of a good floor lamp! Placed in the right place, it illuminates every square metre, even the most hidden areas. Gone are the days of dark, foreboding spaces, replaced by reassuring lighting!
A charming asset for your green spaces
The outdoor floor lamp is also a centerpiece for your garden. Thanks to its slender appearance, it dominates the garden and structures the space, bringing a vertical effect to your pathways and terraces. "It's an eye-catcher that adds character to your outdoor design, adds Christophe Coelho. That's why Lumihome offers you models with a highly sophisticated style. White, black, metal... the choice is yours."
Outdoor floor lamps: effective, diffused lighting
Aesthetic and safe, the outdoor floor lamp is no less practical. Its height allows it to diffuse a wide, uniform light, capable of illuminating large areas of your garden. No need to multiply light sources. Its presence alone is enough. You can move around more easily, and your garden is much more functional.

Where to install your floor lamp?
The outdoor floor lamp has a lot going for it, and what's more, it's a real Swiss Army knife. Driveway, property entrance, relaxation area, etc. Wherever you like. But to maximize its impact, a little thought goes a long way. Too far away, or poorly positioned, it risks lighting up unnecessary areas. So, where should it be installed?
- Along walkways to guide your steps in complete safety: you can place a lamppost at each bend, for example.
- At the entrance to your property safety in mind!
- In the garden Why not near that old olive tree you love, or near your plants or sculptures?
- Close to the garage for better visibility and easier maneuvering.
- Around the pool Install lampposts at the corners of your pool and enjoy swimming in complete peace of mind.
How to install an outdoor floor lamp?
Wondering if installing an outdoor street lamp yourself is feasible? Spoiler: yes. It all depends on the model, but at Lumihome, we design our lights so that even the least do-it-yourselfers among you can make a garden light without asking a professional for help. "Our Pyramide 64 LED floor lampfor example, is available in three heights for powerful lighting and 360° light distribution, explains Christophe Coelho. Of course, it requires an existing electrical installation, but is very easy to install. You can also opt for our range of solar-powered outdoor street lamps, ideal for areas without electricity. These models can be installed in the twinkling of an eye and guarantee environmentally-friendly, economical lighting."
How to choose the right outdoor lamp?
There's no magic formula here. Choosing the right outdoor lighting is a bit like choosing the right pair of shoes: they need to be the right size, practical, stylish and suited to the terrain. Here are a few key points to consider so you don't go wrong.
3 questions to ask yourself
Why do you need a floor lamp? "If it's to secure your property, opt for a powerful model, with 3,000 lumens for example, perfect for deterring intruders, says Christophe Coelho. If you want to enhance a tree, opt for a floor lamp that adds style. Your needs will also determine the ideal lighting power. Lumihome offers floor lamps from 200 to 3,000 lumens, depending on your needs."
Where will it be placed? If there's no power source nearby, you'll have to fall back on a solar street lampespecially in remote corners of the garden. Don't panic, Lumihome offers remote-controlled models for maximum everyday comfort, wherever the light is placed.
What's the style of your garden? Existing fixtures, furniture, the architecture of your home... Every element counts when it comes to choosing the style and color of your future lamppost. Do you have a modern garden? A floor lamp with a clean, minimalist design will complete the ambience. On the other hand, a more classic garden would be better suited to a wrought-iron model. The key is to aim for harmony for a coordinated, visually pleasing result.
Other criteria not to be forgotten
Also consider protection index (IP). Your outdoor solar lamp must be weatherproof. It must be perfectly waterproof to withstand the vagaries of the weather. Of course, certain materials guarantee greater durability. Stainless steel, for example.
Finally, don't forget the height of your outdoor lamp ! What height lamp should I choose? This depends on the space to be illuminated. For a large terrace or spacious garden, opt for a model that's high enough (around two meters) to provide diffused lighting over a wide area. If you need to light a small area, a lower product will suffice.
Want to add height to your lighting? The outdoor floor lamp is just the thing. Thanks to its imposing structure, it illuminates with power and secures your garden with style.
