How to create a special atmosphere in the garden with LED lighting? - 1

LED lighting is an excellent choice for the garden for many reasons. Firstly, it is energy efficient, which means lower electricity bills and a positive effect on the environment. Secondly, LED lighting is durable, so you can be sure it will last for many years. LEDs are also available in different wattages, light colours and even colours, giving you a lot of freedom to design your garden to fulfil your dreams of the perfect place. 

Lighting paths and alleys – LED posts 
One of the easiest ways to use LED lighting in the garden is to illuminate paths and alleys. A good solution will be posts – lamps that you can place along the path. Adjust their height and arrangement to the length and width of the alley. Kanlux PRESO offers as many as three possibilities: 30, 50 and 80cm. What else is worth paying attention to? The lighting should be adapted to outdoor conditions. A high IP rating will give them protection from rain or dust. Opt for lamps with a protection level of at least IP44 and those with a robust construction. Design is also key – consistent with other lighting, such as façade lighting. Lamps that do not shine upwards but sideways are an interesting solution – so you can illuminate the entire space around a particular pathway. 
When lighting paths and alleys with LEDs, choose the right light colour and wattage. A warm or neutral colour will work best, depending on the effect you want to achieve. 

 

Illuminating plants and flowers – LED floodlights 
LEDs will also work well for illuminating plants and flowers in the garden. Place small LED floodlights under trees, bushes or near flowers and direct all attention to them. Kanlux GRIBLO is a lamp that you can rearrange freely and flexibly decide which area you want to illuminate – it is mounted to the ground with a spike and the power cable is terminated with a plug. With an IP65 waterproof rating, you can water and spray your plants without worry. 
Lamps that imitate stones are an interesting solution. It's not just a way to illuminate, but also an innovative decorative element. They look great on lawns, near trees or among flowers or shrubs. The lamps from the Kanlux STONO series, apart from their unusual appearance, have another advantage. They are very easy to install due to a long power cable and spikes, which allow embedding the luminaire in the ground.

 

Pond and pool lighting – watertight LED luminaires 
If you have a pond or pool in your garden, LED lighting can be a great way to enhance its beauty and create a magical atmosphere. The Kanlux AKVEN waterproof luminaire is a lamp that you can place up to 3 m deep. Do you need more light? If water is near your house, opt for an interesting façade luminaire. Kanlux LAVEN is elegant outdoor lighting in the form of wall-mounted luminaires. The smoky shade, warm light colour and motion and dusk sensor will give the space a comfortable atmosphere, while the light will be reflected in the water surface creating the illusion of more light.

 


Terrace lighting – LED string lights
A terrace or gazebo is usually part of the garden. A place where we can spend time with family and friends. Feasting around a common table sometimes drags on until late in the evening.  How do you create a magical atmosphere there? 
Use LED string lights for this purpose. Kanlux STONO MILK GRL is a decoration that will turn a space into a magical land of light. Ten balls of light with a durable shade will ensure quality for years to come. It will also work well near hammocks or other lounge areas. To complete the set, you can choose the Kanlux STONO MILK wireless suspended lamp. This is particularly useful if your needs change frequently – illuminate the space above your table or balcony and change the location of the lamp depending on your preferences.  

 

LED lighting can be a great way to create a magical atmosphere in your garden. With a variety of shapes, sizes and colours of LED lamps, you can create exactly the effect you want – from subtle, diffused lights to bright, colourful effects. Whether you want to illuminate paths and alleys, plants and flowers, or architectural elements of your garden, LED lighting will allow you to create a garden that will be a delight after dark and provide you with hours of enjoyment and relaxation outdoors.
