Which lighting to choose for the barbecue area?

The right lighting around the barbecue area can make evening gatherings with friends even more enjoyable. Whether barbecuing on the terrace, patio or garden, good lighting provides a pleasant atmosphere and improves safety. Which solutions are best for you? Read this article to find out.

Which lighting to choose for the barbecue area? - 1

General lighting – ceiling lights 
The first step to properly lighting your barbecue area is to ensure sufficient general lighting – in this case, overhead lighting is best (if that's an option for you, of course). 
You can choose suspended lamps or install LED fittings in the ceiling, depending on where you want to put the barbeque: the terrace, gazebo or garden. It's vital to place the lamps at the right height – if you mount them too low, they'll get in the way; if you mount them too high, you won't get enough light. 
Kanlux LIEGO is an oval-shaped glass lampshade that also works well as a decorative piece. It also has an IP44 rating, meaning it is water- and dust-resistant. The lamps can be fitted with replaceable LED light sources with an E27 screw base. So you can modify and adjust the light intensity and colour to suit your and your guests' needs.

 

Wall lighting – wall-mounted luminaires
Wall lighting is an option that provides an additional source of light. The right wall-mounted luminaire not only illuminates the space where it's mounted (permitting use after dark) but also decorates the wall during the day.  The wall-mounted luminaires have a decorative function and give the space a more cosy look when switched on.
Kanlux LAVEN light fittings work well for places you want to make cosy and comfortable. The smoky shade, the visible decorative bulb and the warm light make the terrace or gazebo an ideal space for dinner with loved ones. The SE version of the wall-mounted luminaire has a built-in motion sensor and dusk-to-dawn sensor, ensuring safety and reducing electricity costs.  

 

Spotlighting – table lamps
Spotlighting lets you direct the light exactly where you need it, for example, at the barbecue area or table. Good quality lamps are worth investing in, as barbecuing in the dark can be inconvenient and dangerous.
Portable table lamps are a practical and decorative light source you can put directly on the table and move to another location if necessary. Kanlux INITA LED is a classic lamp with a metal body in various colours. Importantly, it charges via a USB port, so you can put it anywhere, even if there's no power supply. The lamp is robust and has a heavy base, so you can use it without fear of gusts of wind or animated guests knocking it over at the barbecue table. 

 

Decorative garden lamps
An interesting yet completely different solution could be lamps imitating... stones! Kanlux STONO is a garden hit. With diameters ranging from 20 to 78 cm, these orbs work well in any garden around shrubs or rockery. Unusual but functional lighting is the right choice to add character to the garden and surprise your guests. Each is equipped with spikes to embed the fitting in the ground and a long power cable (3 metres). Kanlux STONO is a light fitting for replaceable light sources, allowing you to create the desired mood in your garden.
 

 

Decorative lighting – LED string lights
Decorative lighting is the perfect way to give the barbecue area a cosy and welcoming look. You can use different types of lamps to create a unique atmosphere. The eye-catching Kanlux STONO MILK string lights are a great choice. Easy to mount and with 10 balls of light arranged on a 6-metre cable, it offers a unique visual effect. It is made of high-quality materials, and its robust PE shade makes the lighting durable and striking. The option of mounting vertically and horizontally offers arrangement flexibility. With a high IP67 rating, it is weatherproof. Ideal for lighting gardens, terraces, balconies. It is powered by plugging into a socket for your convenience.

 

Solar-powered lighting
Solar-powered lighting is a practical solution that saves you from having to plug cables into an electrical socket or route electrical wiring. We know very well that garden design varies; sometimes, you have the sockets or wires ready to plug in the lamps you'd planned, but missing wiring can spoil your plans when you want to add new lighting. This is where lamps, projectors and other battery- or solar-powered accessories come to the rescue; you can put them wherever you want: the terrace, garden or patio. Kanlux FL SOLNAR light fitting is powered by solar energy. Dust- and water-resistant, it works well regardless of the weather conditions. It also has a built-in motion sensor. A huge advantage of this light fitting is the adjustable adapter, which offers you the option of mounting the fitting and the solar panel separately.

 

Adequate lighting in the barbecue area is crucial to create a comfortable and safe atmosphere. It's important to choose the right light sources that are not only functional but also add charm to the space and make evening gatherings with friends even more enjoyable.
