Dark places in your garden - 5 ways to light them up! Discover them all

More light is needed near the gate or the front door so that we can open the lock, find the bell, or so that we can simply see who enters our property. For the gate, light bollards such as Kanlux INVO or Kanlux DROMI should be fine. For the front door, we can use façade lamps from the same series. As a result, we can maintain lighting consistency. Designed for use with replaceable light sources, Kanlux INVO includes two series of products that allow us to choose our favourite colour and light intensity. Kanlux DROMI, on the other hand, included luminaires that allow the lighting direction to be adjusted in the range of as much as 300 degrees.

All paths and routes should be clearly visible but the amount of light should not dazzle either us or our guests. In this case, lower bollards should do the trick. We can use the bollards from the Kanlux INVO series we mentioned earlier or try out one-of-a-kind solar lamps. Solar lighting has many advantages. They can be placed anywhere because they do not need to be connected to the electrical system. Products from the Kanlux SOLCA series are worth mentioning as they boast a number of benefits. They are solar lamps with a motion detector.

The building façade is another place to light up. Some parts of the building should not be lit. The house should be lit up so as not to disturb the neighbours or ourselves. It is worth remembering some simple rules that can help us. If a building is large but low, lighting can be used to visually increase its height. In this case, more powerful facade luminaires, for example products from the Kanlux LART series that provide light both up and down at the same time, should be perfect. This kind of lighting also emphasises the building façade structure (textured plaster, clinker bricks). For a smooth façade, luminaires providing gentle soft light – being a decoration in themselves – will do the trick. We can use Kanlux FORRO LED luminaires, which create a beautiful lighting effect and become a façade decoration themselves.

Typical houses will look better if illuminated with gentle light. In this case, we can use Kanlux GARTO luminaires. They are lamps with a traditional simple shape but their design is not boring. They disperse light evenly up and down. We can also choose Kanlux BISO luminaires. Providing a little stronger light, they have a unique shape that will highlight the qualities of the building.  For modern houses based on simple and severe masses, we can use Kanlux REKA luminaires. They allow us to make simple geometric shapes out of light thanks to adjustable masking flaps at the top and bottom.
