With the days finally getting longer and the first signs of spring appearing, many of us will be turning our thoughts to the garden. Spending time outdoors is one of the easiest ways that we can all help ourselves to feel better. Whether walking, gardening, or simply sitting and enjoying the sounds of nature. But for most of us, enjoyment of our garden fades with the light. With Lutec Lighting, you can make the most of your outdoor space at any time of the day – or night.
How to Use the Different Types of Outdoor Lights – With Lutec
Outdoor lighting comes in a variety of forms. To get the best from your home investment, you need to ensure that you position it properly. So, where should you use the different types of outdoor lights?
Plinth and post lights
Although they provide a really useful light source, plinth and post lights, like the Lutec Virgo or Focus, can risk looking a little utilitarian. So, it’s important that you place them correctly. When used along a driveway or path, they can be invaluable. But unless you opt for a more decorative aesthetic, like the Cate rustic light, it can be a good idea to try and place them somewhere that they can be serviceable, without being obtrusive. Selecting a position amongst bushes and shrubs can help to conceal the posts, while allowing the light to shine brightly.
Deck lights
The intended use of deck lighting is fairly obvious. Ground lights, such as the Cydops, can be inserted into your decking. And will appear entirely unobtrusive until night falls. When they bring the whole area to sparkling life.
Outdoor wall lights
Outdoor wall lights come in a whole range of shapes and sizes. And they are real multi-taskers. So, you can go for the purely functional – the Lutec Try is a sensor wall light, great for security and locating your keys! If you don’t have an easily accessible power source, the Lutec Sunshine solar series could provide a useful alternative. More decorative lights, like the Shiva, can bring a homely atmosphere to your outside space, perfect for entertaining. While more contemporary designs, like the Lutec Grange series, bring style as well as substance to your outdoor lighting, and can be coordinated across the space. Ideal for seating areas.
Outdoor ceiling lights
Designed for patios, porches, and garages, outdoor ceiling lights are intended for practicality. But with the right design, you can change the entire aesthetic of the space with your choice of light. While the Lutec Ublo (which can also be used as a wall light) is effortlessly contemporary, bringing a clean white light, the Kelsey carries a sense of antiquity and character. Both will illuminate your outdoor spaces beautifully. But each will bring their own style.
Well-chosen lighting can transform your garden and other outdoor areas. Bringing extra value to the space, and facilitating extended use. With Lutec, you have the reliable, high-quality solutions you need to help your garden shine.
