In the dark, the most beautiful and richest house turns gray and dull. To enjoy your garden, flower garden or buildings after sunset, garden lights are used. Today, manufacturers of lighting fixtures, meeting landscape designers, have developed and manufactured many different models. On the Russian market, garden lamps differ significantly in price, type of power supply, installation method, etc. The recommendations of our experts will help potential buyers to organize a garden lighting system at minimal cost.

Recommendations for choosing garden lamps

Types of garden lamps. In landscape design, two types of lamps are most often used.

1. Searchlights have a directional luminous flux. They are used to highlight objects or facades in the distance.
2. Diffusing lamps allow not only to organize the lighting of the entrance group and garden paths, but also to decorate alpine slides or gazebos.

Appointment. Depending on the tasks set, the type of garden lamp, the installation method and the brightness of the glow are selected.

1. Emergency lighting is done on the paths, near the entrance gates, doors, garage doors. It is characterized by low brightness and the need for minimum power consumption. Such lamps turn on most often when a motion sensor is triggered.
2. The decorative function is performed by facade lighting. It assumes wall installation, switching on automatically occurs at nightfall.
3. For the zoning of the personal plot, landscape lighting is used. In it, the main violin is played by ground lamps, arranged according to a special scheme.

Installation method. Garden lights can be mounted in several ways.

1. Wall or pole mounting is one of the most popular options. A high-positioned device illuminates a sufficiently large area of ​​a garden or building.
2. Ground mount is suitable for lighting gates and gates, flower beds and alpine slides. The height is selected taking into account the characteristics of the personal plot.
3. Ground luminaires are installed directly into the ground. For this, the reinforcement has a pointed shape at the bottom. The material used is corrosion-protected steel.

Current source. To have light in the garden, a power source is required to power the bulbs.

1. The most affordable source of energy is a single-phase household network. It can be used when installing luminaires near a home or electrified buildings. But for organizing the lighting of gates, garden paths and remote gazebos, this option is not suitable, since it is required to stretch hundreds of meters of electrical wiring.
2. In this case, it is better to purchase lighting fixtures equipped with a solar panel. They use the energy of the sun, accumulating it throughout a clear day. But in cloudy weather, such a current source can fail, so it is advisable to have a battery in the kit.

We have selected 13 garden lamps for our review. All models are sold in the Russian trade network. When allocating seats, the editors of the magazine relied on the opinion of the expert community, taking into account the reviews of domestic homeowners.
