Solar lighting: Save money and the planet
The times when solar lights were only dimmed lights. Technology has advanced, and 2026 belongs to powerful and sustainable solar lighting. Thanks to modern batteries and more efficient panels, these lights can now reliably shine even during cloudy days.
💡 Tip: Search for lights with high luminosity with a quality panel such as Dimmable solar LED RGB lamp SMART+ SOLAR from the Ledvance brand, or Solar wall light with a sensor BRICKY from the Brilagi brand. 
Moreover, it’s no longer just about cheap-looking lights with pins. Premium models now elegantly integrate solar panels directly into their bodies, so visually, you can hardly tell the difference from classic lamps.
💡 Tip: If you want outdoor lighting in Nordic style, take a look at the solar lighting series RICA from the Danish brand Nordlux.
Solar lighting is simply the ideal solution for more remote corners of the garden where you don’t want—or can’t—run electrical wiring. Just place the light in the ground and enjoy illumination with zero operating costs.
💡 Tip: Solar lighting, which meets the expectations of even the most demanding users. Such as LED solar wall light with motion and dusk sensor TYLUS.
Smart garden: Atmosphere with just one click
Your living room doesn’t have to be the only smart space! Smart outdoor lighting lets you change the mood on your terrace depending on the occasion—from bright light for grilling to soft, warm tones for a romantic evening.
What smart outdoor lighting can do: Control via phone, timer setting (for example, so the lights turn on at sunset), and millions of colors (RGB).
💡 Tip: The Philips Hue system offers one of the broadest smart lighting ecosystems. You can use a low-voltage system that is safe for children and pets and connect it with the Philips Hue Bridge to automate your entire garden.
💡 Ledvance SMART+ WiFi: If you’re looking for a simple solution without the need for an additional gateway, try Ledvance SMART+. Ledvance smart lights communicate directly with your router, and the installation is easy to follow using a video guide. You can then control the lighting conveniently from your phone.
Style and design: Boho coziness and Scandinavian timelessness
Today, it’s common for a terrace to function as a full extension of the living room. The design of outdoor lighting reflects this as well—these fixtures no longer serve only a purely practical purpose but increasingly resemble interior lighting in their appearance.
Boho trend
Natural materials, rattan, wicker, and warm light. This relaxed style can instantly soften modern concrete terraces, break up the austerity of the space, and create an exceptionally cozy corner for evening relaxation.
💡 Tip: No boho garden is complete without string lights and garlands. One of the most popular pieces is the Brilagi outdoor decorative chain GARLAND, available in various lengths.
Scandinavian minimalism
Nordic design is a safe choice that never goes out of style. It is characterized by clean architectural lines, functionality, and premium materials that withstand unpredictable weather. Neutral colors such as matte black or anthracite dominate the look. These lights don’t overwhelm the space—instead, through a thoughtful play of light and shadow, they create beautiful visual effects on facades and garden paths.
💡 Tip: This is exactly the kind of outdoor lighting offered by Nordlux. You can choose from bestsellers in the Nordlux ALUDRA series or explore new designs from the Nordlux SIDARA series.
Safety and orientation: So that every step is safe
Besides aesthetics, your garden must also be safe. Lighting for driveways, stairs, and entrances is essential to help prevent unnecessary accidents. Properly selected orientation lights also guide you smoothly through the space and add depth to the exterior.
Smart sensor lights: These turn on exactly when needed. Motion sensors reliably deter unwanted visitors and illuminate your path when you return home in the dark with full hands. Modern versions often combine motion detection with a dusk-to-dawn sensor, so they don’t waste energy during the day.
💡 Tip: The Brilagi ARCELO outdoor lamp with sensor lights your way when necessary and looks stylish at the same time.
Low posts and recessed lights: An ideal and elegant solution for lining pathways and driveways. They don’t glare because the light is directed toward the ground, clearly defining the boundaries of safe zones. Recessed (drive-over) lights, such as the Philips driveway light, can even withstand the weight of a car.
Lighting of water features: Pools and ponds are hazards in the dark. Subtle perimeter lighting or underwater illumination not only prevents accidental falls into the water but also transforms your garden into a luxurious relaxation area.
💡 Tip: Extra features can be found in the Ledvance dimmable light with a sensor. In addition to motion and dusk sensors, it includes a camera, speaker, and audible alarm—perfect for entrances or terraces.
Tips for small spaces (balconies and loggias)
Don’t have a garden? No problem. Even a small balcony can be transformed into a peaceful oasis with decorative lighting.
Use string lights along the railing, or get portable rechargeable lamps (so-called “to-go” lights) that you can easily take from your living room to the balcony. Smart LED strips are also a great choice for adding flexible, stylish illumination.
Experts from Alasans recommend:
- Portable lamp from the Ledvance or Nordlux brands
- Dimmable outdoor LED strip Philips
- Decorative string lights and garlands in a variety of lengths and colors
