We’re at that glorious time of year where the evenings seem implausibly long, and those of us who have gardens are spending as much time in them as possible. And it’s at this time of the year that outdoor lighting really comes into its own. But working out where to place outdoor lighting can be tricky. While porch and decking lights make an obvious choice, unless you turn your garden into a low-budget Blackpool, you can’t possibly cover every corner. And that’s where portable garden lights come in.
Whether for garden parties or getting the cat in, portable lights are one of the most useful additions you’ll ever make to your garden.
Why We Love Portable Garden Lights
They’re really convenient
We’ve all been there. Darkness is starting to fall, and you realise that you’ve left something in the garden, or need to get something out of the car. You could chance it – and the slugs and snails that night-time really belongs to. You could dig out a torch or use your phone. Or you could pick up a Nordlux Strap. Easy to carry with a comfortable handle, casting a bright, useful light, these portable lamps were made for those moments. Just keep it charged and it will always be ready when you need it.
They look great
A light like the Nordlux Sponge makes the perfect centrepiece for any outdoor dining table. Curvy and aesthetically pleasing, it looks interesting, as well as providing a useful function. And the raised design means that it doesn’t take up much room on the table.
They are completely versatile
Whether you opt for a single lamp like the Nordlux Bob To-Go (we have no idea why it’s called Bob!), with its beautiful bamboo frame, to keep by the door. Or a series of Nordlux Nuru lights to hand out at garden parties. There are portable outdoor lamps for every occasion. They’re wonderful for nocturnal garden wanderings, when you need a little time alone. Or for if you want to move away from the porch and create a cosy garden gathering somewhere with the best seasonal display. Fancy an evening picnic on the beach? The Astro Kuro would work there too.
They create concentrated ambience
You could opt for a series of downlights, like the Nordlux Ara, so you don’t disturb the neighbours. Or a dimmable lamp, like the Elstead Lyndon, with its pared-back traditional vibe. Or something entirely different. But with their soft, white light, these lamps bring the night to life without overwhelming the darkness. They weren’t designed to dazzle. They complement the night, creating ambience easily. Wherever you wish it to be.
From security lights to twinkling party lights, outdoor lighting can completely transform a garden space. But portable garden lights always add something extra. Giving you form, function, and flexibility all in one.
