After solar beacons, bollards and wall lights, now it's time for the solar spotlight. A garden essential that provides powerful illumination and eliminates dependence on the power grid. No more cables, impossible connections and inflated electricity bills! The solar-powered outdoor spotlight delivers power without compromising the environment.
Why a spotlight... and why a solar spotlight?
When we think spotlight, we often imagine a powerful, almost blinding light, like those stage spotlights that flood everything with uncomfortable intensity. But the outdoor spotlight, though synonymous with power, is a far cry from this aggressive glare.
The benefits of outdoor LED spotlights
The spotlight is the superhero of the garden. A tree or sculpture to highlight? A dark corner to brighten? A specific area to secure? That's where it comes in. Thanks to its powerful, even light, it performs its role brilliantly... or rather, its roles. It illuminates, secures, sublimates, highlights... In short, it transforms exteriors so that they can be fully experienced as soon as the sun goes down.
Why choose solar power?
The solar-powered outdoor spotlight, as its name suggests, runs on solar energy. During the day, it captures the sun's rays thanks to its integrated solar panel. It stores its energy in its battery. At night, it releases it to light up your garden. That's how it works. But why opt for the solar version of the spotlight? Here are 5 good reasons why.
Saving energy Energy savings: Let's start with the financial aspect, the sinews of war. Choosing solar-powered garden lights means enjoying a brightly lit exterior, with zero electricity costs.
Total freedom No need for cables or plugs. The outdoor solar spotlight also means you don't need to install any electricity. This gives you complete freedom of installation.
Performance to match Solar technology has come a long way, and when it comes to power, solar has nothing to envy conventional lighting. Forget the timid glow of cheap beacons, responsible for solar's bad reputation! Lumihome solar products are as powerful as they are economical.
User comfort : "Opting for an outdoor solar floodlight also means treating yourself to automatic lighting that turns itself on as soon as the light fades, adds Christophe Coelho Our model Power 2,000 solar LED floodlight model is also equipped with a motion detector.
An eco-friendly choice Using a solar floodlight means reducing your carbon footprint by using renewable energy. It's an ecological choice, one step closer to an eco-responsible garden.
Solar outdoor spotlight: where and how to install it?
A south-facing location?
While the first solar-powered luminaires on the market needed a lot of sun to perform well, this is no longer the case. Thanks to new technologies and the use of more sensitive, latest-generation sensors, the luminaires manage to fill up with energy, even on grey days! Charging time is just longer. "What's more, our solar floodlight is equipped with a remote solar panel, explains Christophe Coelho. Thanks to its easy plug cable, you can place it wherever you like, even if your spotlight is intended to light up a very shaded area."
Ideas for securing, marking out and enhancing your garden
Want to secure your garden with no hidden costs? Place the floodlight on the facade, garage or gate pillars. Supplied with a remote arm, the Lumihome spotlight illuminates and discourages unwanted visitors. Adjustable, it brilliantly illuminates all areas of passage for zero-defect protection.
Do you need to mark pathways or stairs? Install it along paths and steps. Supplied with a stake, it can be planted in the ground to punctuate and mark paths.
Looking for visual effects? Would you like to set the scene for a tree, statue or flower bed? Point the solar spotlight at your olive tree or Japanese maple to create unexpected effects. Thanks to its power and adjustable luminous flux, it can be used to highlight the most beautiful features of your garden.
Solar outdoor spotlight: 5 tips before you buy
Thinking of buying a spotlight for your garden? Here are a few things to check before you check out.
Weather resistance Rain, wind, frost... Your projector will be exposed to all kinds of weather conditions. Make sure you choose a model equipped to cope with the vagaries of the weather. To do this, be sure to check its waterproof rating.
Component quality: "Buying an outdoor lighting solution is always an investment, adds Christophe Coelho. While it's tempting to go for low-cost solutions, it's important to remember that quality comes at a price. And that this initial cost will save you money in the long term. So opt for a projector with an interchangeable battery. Don't forget to check the quality of the reflector, which should not be tarnished by the sun's rays."
Options : a spotlight with a motion detector function, that's the best. The advantages of a presence detector are manifold. It allows you to enjoy an outdoor environment that's always well lit, effortlessly. It also deters the curious. Our solar floodlight is equipped with a motion detector and three different lighting modes for a safe, practical and economical experience.
Battery life : Don't forget to check the battery life too. Our solar-powered outdoor floodlight provides permanent illumination that lasts all night, i.e. around 8 hours of autonomy.
Brightness in lumens As always, don't forget to check the wattage of your purchase and compare it with your lighting needs. Our solar floodlight offers three lighting modes and three different intensities:
- mode 1: 200 continuous lumens ;
- mode 2: 200 lumens at all times and 800 lumens when presence is detected in the garden ;
- mode 3: 1,800 lumen lighting, activated for just 8 seconds when presence is detected.
Small object, maximum impact! Ultimately, outdoor solar floodlights are much more than a practical option for your garden. Powerful and easy to install, they symbolize a sustainable approach and meet your safety needs, while offering an infinite range of possibilities.
