Types of Garden Lighting
The lighting equipment should be suitable for use in outdoor areas and harmoniously coexist with the landscaping, so learn about types of garden lighting for you to use in yours:
Poles
They are medium or tall columns that provide lighting. They are ideal for general illumination, diffusing light throughout the space. There are several models that stand out in the garden with their shapes and styles. Some are sustainable and economical with the use of solar energy. They can be made of iron, aluminum, or metal.
Strings of Light
They are stylish accessories in which lights are hung. They can be arranged in various ways, hanging from trees, pergolas, or columns in the garden. They create an incredible effect on the decoration and general lighting of outdoor environments. Various types of lamps can be used, such as colored or white.
Beacons
They are indicated for illuminating and marking paths, steps, and stairs. With a beam of light directed downward, they add safety, visibility, and beauty to garden circulation. They can be floor, wall, or small poles. Their use is perfect for creating harmony in lighting levels and providing a clear view of paths.
Skewers Luminaires
There are several styles of skewer fixtures, some with directional beam. They are great for use as decorative lighting to highlight plants in garden areas with lining, pebbles, or exposed soil. They have the advantage of practicality in installation with a "skewer" type ground fixing system that easily enters the soil.

They are usually installed on the ground, with the light coming from the bottom up towards a point. They are ideal to highlight objects such as statues, vases, bushes, and trees.
Ground embeds
They are installed in small holes in the garden, so they require more planning for their installation. They have resistant characteristics, with a long useful life. They illuminate from bottom to top and are indicated to highlight architectural details, such as textures and coverings. They can also illuminate corridors and passages through the garden.
Sconces
They are fixtures fixed exclusively to the wall and are very practical to be used in external areas and gardens. They provide an indirect and soft vertical illumination. Indicated to light passages, balconies, walls, and walls around the house.
Floor lamps
They are suitable for illuminating the garden in a general way. Distributed along the length of the space, they make the whole environment bright. With their small size, they can easily be arranged on the ground and in flowerbeds, placed on the lawn, ground, or floor.
Underwater luminaires
They are made with materials suitable to be installed inside pools, fountains, and water mirrors in the garden.
Lanterns
In addition to illuminating the environment, they also serve as decorative pieces in the garden. They can be easily arranged in the external area, either on the ground or hanging from trees or pergolas, since they do not require electrical wiring. They have various styles and give a welcoming touch to the garden. They are great for decorating parties and receiving friends outdoors in your home.
