Our lighting, for your garden

Lighting for a garden or patio should be soft and unobtrusive so as not to cause glare at night; however, it must still be bright enough. It is therefore important to play with contrasts and lighting, and to opt for indirect lighting using diffused, energy-efficient bulbs.

To light your outdoor space, you can use various types of outdoor fixtures. Outdoor wall sconces illuminate specific areas, such as balconies or patios. Spotlights or bollard lights provide guidance at night and create illuminated pathways, particularly along walkways or garage entrances. Outdoor pendant lights, such as the Plec by Faro, are perfect above pergolas; outdoor floor lamps are ideal for a driveway (try the Mini Mini floor lamps by Zava); and portable lamps such as the Santorini by Marset add a touch of light and color to awnings, poolside areas, and any other casual or impromptu outdoor space.

Be sure to follow certain regulations when installing garden lighting: first, bury the cables at least 60 cm underground, leaving only 30 cm exposed for the connection. The protection rating (IP) of an outdoor light fixture must be 44 or higher.

To highlight vegetation, use a floodlight installed at the base of the plants to create a sense of height. To illuminate a pool, choose recessed spotlights. A garden does not necessarily need to be fully lit; this could result in excessive light. Get started on your outdoor lighting!
