The secrets of successful lighting

During our various readings and meetings, we note that some customers, landscaping professionals and individuals have certain questions about outdoor lighting. Here we reveal some “secrets” to you..

What should we expect from outdoor lighting?

Outdoor or garden lighting must meet two constraints. DURABILITY & AESTHETICS. The products must last over time in the face of bad weather. Then, these products must be aesthetic and discreet to integrate into your landscaping project. The In-lite products that we use in large part on our projects are guaranteed for 5 years and perfectly combine these 2 constraints. In addition, they incorporate LED sources, which today offer a lifespan of 25,000 hours (or around 10 years operating a full night) and significantly reduced power consumption. We add to our lights other lights where aesthetics dominate. The luminaire becomes a decorative element. 

How to highlight the key elements of the garden?

Qu’il s’agisse d’un arbre, d’un buisson ou d’une sculpture, nous recommandons un éclairage indirect sur piquet ou encastré dans le sol. Mais difficile de répondre à cette question avec précision car chaque projet est unique et toutes solutions d’éclairage sont bonnes dans la mesure où elles respectent les bases de l’éclairage maintes fois énoncées dans nos articles. RAPPEL : éclairer juste, tout doit paraître naturel, créer des zones…

Quels conseils pourriez-vous nous donner pour éclairer une allée de jardin ?

We recommend the use of low height LED light bollards to avoid glare. This lighting secures movement while providing an aesthetic touch. You can opt for a unilateral or staggered installation & nbsp; depending on the width and configuration of the path. A motion detection module can be added which is very practical. Our transformers integrate this option.

I want a safe and autonomous lighting installation, what can I do?

The lighting products we use are powered by 12 volts low voltage, so safe. & Nbsp; The network is connected to a transformer which controls the lighting. Different functions are available to you to make the lighting of your garden autonomous. You are content to contemplate your garden. The 1st and essential function is the light sensor or the sensitive photo cell. This is triggered automatically at nightfall. You can also program its operating time. Finally, as mentioned above, you can add the movement cell.

Surely you have a secret to achieving these results?

The secret ! Do your job with passion, respect the project, take the time to observe, choose the right products and even better the right professionals. Come on, I say it again and again: JUST LIGHT, stay natural.
