A garden can be more than just flowers – lighting can be a key part of the decoration in this area of your home. With a good landscaping project, any outdoor space can be charming and inviting for parties, dinners and leisure time. Proper lighting can highlight the garden’s best attributes, such as trees, decorative objects or exotic plants, in addition to indicating pathways. Want to know how to choose the best lights for your garden?

Lighting types

Poles: poles come in various models and styles, including mini versions for smaller areas, which can light up pathways or highlight plants close to the ground.

String lights: delicate and charming, string lights are a trendy ornament, giving a bohemian atmosphere to the outdoor area. They can be hung between trees, on posts or arbors.

Beacon lights: normally used to mark pathways, stairs and other areas close to the ground, they can be placed directly on the floor or on walls.

Reflectors: with a targeted spot light, they are used to highlight elements in the garden.

Choose the right color

The lighting color makes all the difference. White light is more stimulating, favoring alert and attentive behavior – ideal for signaling. Yellow light, on the other hand, provides a feeling of coziness and welcoming. Green light, in turn, gives a monochromatic touch to the garden, highlighting all the shades of the color. 

LED lights offer a number of advantages. They use less energy and have the same lighting power as fluorescent bulbs, making them a more sustainable and efficient option. LED technology is up to four times more durable than fluorescent lighting, with no toxic materials in its composition. Tramontina offers a line of LED spotlights in various colors, with anti-fogging relief valve, keeping water from building up inside and allowing the items to be installed on the floor or wall.
