The driveway and main entrance are usually well lit. However, less attention is often paid to the side wall of the house, the area where waste bins are kept or the steps leading down from the terrace – even though these areas also need to be safe to navigate after dark. Here’s how to plan lighting around your home in these often-overlooked areas and which lights to choose.

A pendant light above the table provides good illumination of the tabletop, but when installed in a passageway, it can interfere with free movement around the terrace. An outdoor ceiling light takes up less space under the roof, but creates a different lighting effect in the relaxation area. So, how should you plan lighting for a covered terrace? Find out which fixtures to choose depending on the height of the structure, furniture arrangement and size of the space.

A brick, stone or wooden façade looks completely different after dark. Properly directed light can bring out the decorative potential of the chosen material. Find out how to light your house façade to highlight the character of the finish rather than simply illuminate the space.

Investing in outdoor lighting is a long-term decision. Garden lights are exposed to rain, snow, frost, UV radiation, and high temperatures throughout the year. That is why, when choosing outdoor lighting, it is worth considering not only the design and technical specifications, but also whether the fixture can be repaired if a component eventually needs replacing.

Even the highest-quality outdoor light may require the replacement of a single part after years of use. A damaged diffuser, cracked glass panel, worn gasket, or faulty LED module should not mean replacing the entire fixture. That is why, from the very beginning of the design process, we engineer our garden lights to be serviceable, allowing the most important components to be repaired or replaced whenever necessary.

A driveway light should blend seamlessly into the surrounding surface, but above all, it must be durable enough to withstand the conditions in which it will be used. On a driveway, resistance to vehicle loads is essential. Along pathways, even light distribution is the priority, while in entrance areas, the focus is on creating attractive and functional illumination. Before making your choice, it's worth considering not only the fixture's design and finish but also its IP protection rating, installation method, and light output. Here's how to choose the right driveway light for your property.

A garden bollard light should do more than complement the overall design of your outdoor space—it should also provide effective illumination after dark. The ideal height depends on where it will be installed. A narrow garden path, a driveway, and a seating area each require a different lighting solution. A bollard that is too low may not provide enough light, while one that is too tall can overwhelm the surrounding landscape. In this guide, we explain what to consider when choosing the right height and when a low or tall garden bollard light is the better option.

After dark, your house number should be easy to spot at a glance. Whether it's guests, delivery drivers, taxi drivers, or emergency services, everyone should be able to find the correct address quickly. If your house number is difficult to see from the street or hard to read when approaching the entrance gate, it's time to rethink your outdoor lighting.

The right outdoor wall light should do more than complement your home's exterior—it should also provide clear, even illumination of your house number. Here are four lighting ideas that combine functionality with attractive design and help keep your property easy to identify after sunset.

Lighting a garden pond requires a different approach than illuminating pathways or building façades. In this case, it is important to consider not only the appearance of the fixture, but also its resistance to water exposure, beam direction, and installation location. Find out which of our lights are suitable for underwater installation and which models are best for illuminating your pond from the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor lighting improves visibility after dark, but it also influences the appearance of your home, entrance, fence, and garden pathways. When choosing outdoor fixtures, it is therefore worth considering their style, height, and how well they complement the architecture of your home and the character of your garden. Here's how to decide whether modern or traditional garden lanterns are the better choice.

A light bulb for a garden lamp must match the fixture’s base type, technical specifications, and installation location. Today, LED light sources are the most common choice for outdoor lighting, but selecting the right technology alone is not enough. You also need to consider the lumen output, wattage, and color temperature to achieve the desired effect at the entrance, along pathways, on the terrace, or throughout the garden. Find out how to choose the right bulb for your outdoor lamp!

When choosing an outdoor light fixture, it is worth paying attention not only to its shape, but also to the diffuser. It affects whether the light will be soft or more pronounced. See the difference between a milky and a transparent diffuser and find out which one suits your garden better.

The spacing of garden lights should be adjusted to the height of the fixture, the width of the surface, and the light range. Different types of garden lighting are needed for paths and driveways to achieve proper illumination. How far apart should they be placed to ensure even and practical lighting after dark? We explain.

An outdoor wall light affects not only the comfort of using the entrance or terrace, but also the appearance of the façade after dark. Up-and-down models create a distinct lighting effect on the wall, while wall lights with a single-direction light source work better where practical illumination is more important. Check which type of fixture is the best choice for a modern home.

In the garden, lighting fixtures are exposed to rain, moisture, dust, and dirt, so appearance alone is not enough. When choosing outdoor lighting, it is worth paying attention to the IP protection rating and matching it to the installation location. We have prepared a few tips on which IP rating to choose for outdoor use — from wall lights to drive-over fixtures and recessed lighting.

Outdoor lighting around your home is worth planning in advance. See how to choose the right fixtures, arrange the lighting, and prepare the installation.
