5 lighting ideas to illuminate your garden in spring

The beginning of spring is the time to plan changes in the surroundings of the house and on the balcony to finally be able to relax in the fresh air. Therefore, it is worth considering the selection and location of lamps, their style, purpose, as well as method of installation and power supply. How to arrange functional lighting that will also be a decoration? Here are some ideas!

5 lighting ideas to illuminate your garden in spring - 1

Energy-efficient lighting of the house surroundings

If you dream of outdoor wall luminaires, wall lamps with solar power, such as Kanlux SOLCA, will be a good solution. Those are solar luminaires with square lampshades, which effectively emphasize the appearance of the façade and, what is important, they are independent of the electrical installation. This gives you full freedom to decide where to install them and will also allow you to save electricity. The luminaires operate in three different lighting modes and, thanks to the integrated motion sensors, they are activated only when their light is really needed. The light they emit, reflected from the walls, will also illuminate the immediate surroundings, giving them an attractive appearance. 

It is worth adding that Kanlux SOLCA series also includes free-standing luminaires, the so-called pillar lights. They have a spike so that it's easy to install them in the ground, and motion sensors, thanks to which the lights are reliably switched on and off. Thanks to their modern design, they match any style of garden or façade, and solar power frees you from time-consuming assembly and the expenses related to installing and covering the wiring. The steel housing and plastic lampshades ensure long-lasting use, while the IP 44 protection class is a guarantee of operation in any weather conditions. 

Luminaires with adjustable light intensity

Another solution to brighten up and decorate the evenings spent outside with loved ones is the Kanlux INVO series of luminaires. It includes wall-mounted and free-standing luminaires. They are made of plastic, which makes it easy to keep the lamp clean. Thanks to their minimalist design and universal graphite colour they match any style of the surroundings. Also, the light effect created by them will additionally decorate any space. It is worth knowing that for Kanlux INVO luminaires you can choose your own light source. For places where you only need light accents, you can use weak light bulbs that produce warm light  and  use bright light bulbs whenever you need strong lighting. This is particularly important around driveways and winding garden paths. 

LED garden lanterns

Do you like traditional yet economical design? Kanlux VIMO series luminaires can be a perfect choice. Their housings, made of aluminum alloy, have an original shape, similar to lanterns. They are designed for outdoor installation and their protection class is IP44. They are available as pillar lights or wall lamps, among which you can choose versions with a motion sensor. Their original shape makes them look great in the surroundings of any house, and the transparent lampshades give you the opportunity to choose a decorative bulb, e.g., with a visible filament, which ensures an additional decorative effect. Near the house, you can also use bulbs from the Kanlux SMART series and turn your garden lighting into smart luminaires.

Lighting hidden in the greenery

If you like unusual solutions or want to hide garden lighting elements, the Kanlux STONO series will be an ideal option. The series includes lamps that imitate stones, with a spherical lampshade, installed in the ground, or irregularly-shaped lamps, such as Kanlux STONO IS 63. Thanks to their granite colours, they are virtually indistinguishable from real large pebbles.  When darkness falls, they gently illuminate the surroundings, effectively matching the vegetation or rock gardens, where they are often placed. Each of the luminaires is equipped with a base to enable installation in the ground, and the IP 65 protection class ensures their operation even in heavy rain (provided that the connection point is properly covered). 


Industrial touch

If you want to draw attention to a single large shrub or a rock garden that you are proud of, or use strong light to illuminate a patio or terrace, go for the solutions that may seem typically industrial. Let's talk about floodlights! Today, LED floodlights are a solution that is not only resistant to damage and moisture but also aesthetically pleasing. Check out our Kanlux iQ-LED FL solution. Those floodlights guarantee safe and aesthetic outdoor lighting with power from 10W to 90W. Exceptional durability and a 5-year warranty ensure that this solution will serve you for many years. This solution can be supplementary lighting, hidden behind the plants, illuminating them from below, or serve as the main lighting. You can also choose versions with motion sensors.

We hope that our ideas make you realise that with Kanlux solutions you can install stylish, energy-saving luminaires around your house, which, at the same time, will illuminate and decorate various corners of your garden and house surroundings, where you spend warm evenings with your loved ones.
