Practical tips for installing your garden lighting

When installing outdoor garden lights, it is important to check the weatherproof power connection as well as the setting options on the lamps and the correct lamp position. Here are a few important tips for your outdoor lighting:

• For your garden and outdoor lighting, always choose weatherproof outdoor lamps that are resistant to rain, snow and high temperatures! The so-called IP classification indicates how securely a lamp is protected against dust and water.
• Choosing the right color temperature helps to create the right mood in your garden. Warm light creates a cozy, inviting atmosphere, while cool light improves visibility and is well suited for garage entrances and the entrance area.
• Position your outdoor lighting ideally so that it enhances the outdoor area and can fulfill its function optimally. Trees, plants and architectural highlights shine beautifully and paths become safe to walk along.
• Use different types of outdoor lamps to create a harmonious lighting concept. Fairy lights, spotlights and wall lights can create a multi-layered and dynamic lighting composition with a modern smart lighting concept.
• When installing outdoor lights, your safety is paramount! Therefore, always ensure that all cables are laid correctly and, if necessary, in an empty conduit to avoid tripping hazards and electrical damage. The cables should be optimally insulated so that no water can penetrate and electrical accidents do not become a source of danger.
• The switches and sensors must also be connected professionally. Modern lighting technology is available for this purpose, which enables reliable monitoring and sends error messages. 

 

Lamps for the garden bed

Many garden lovers not only enjoy a well-trimmed lawn or the natural surroundings, but also like to plant beautiful flower beds in their garden, which create a real blaze of color in the garden. The right garden lighting is available for all types of flowerbeds, so that individual plants are beautifully showcased.

Spherical lamps for the garden have an imaginative look and cast a beautiful light on your flower beds. They immediately attract attention and are perfect for gravel gardens and individual landscaping. For example, if you place the lamps along the top floor of your house on the plants in the garden, you can use spotlights to illuminate specific objects in your garden. Because flowers and many plants bloom at different times of the year, modern and smart automatic lighting is recommended. This allows you to decide when which lamp is switched on and illuminate the parts of your garden that you want to highlight at that particular moment. 

Sophisticated lanterns can be attached to a post or board along hedges or behind shrubs. Candle lanterns or morden lanterns in an unusual design provide classic and soft lighting. Attractive pendant lights and hanging lamps are not only available for your rooms, but also for outdoors. You can find various modern and classic designs in BUYnBLUE's online lamp store. Evenly spaced lanterns can be mounted at different heights so that the eye of the beholder can admire a successful play of light. 

Raised beds are the perfect place to install fairy lights. This outdoor lighting creates a harmonious ambience and the perfect view in the evening hours. If your raised beds do not have natural boundary posts, you can use narrow and transparent poles to attach the fairy lights along a fence or hedge, for example, to achieve the same lighting effect.

Some lamps are intended to draw attention to a specific detail or object in your garden. Large spotlights set into the ground that shine from bottom to top onto the design element are suitable for this purpose . Flat planting in matching colors is recommended around the design. This will create real visual highlights in your garden.

Many hedges or trees serve as natural privacy screens for gardens. Illuminating these plants can give your garden a bright border that is both practical and helpful for identifying the boundary of your garden at night. Upward-facing spotlights emphasize the height of the trees and can still be well hidden in the hedge so that only their cone of light is visible.
