Garden and path lights - safety and style for your outdoor area

Safety meets design - why outdoor lights are indispensable

An unlit garden path is a tripping hazard and looks uncomfortable. With the right garden and path lights, you can create safety and atmosphere at the same time.
They recognise paths in the dark, emphasise plants and create targeted lighting accents - without any glare.

Which light is right for your outdoor area?

When choosing, it's not just style and shape that count, but also

  • Weather resistance (e.g. protection class IP65 for particularly robust lights),
  • Height (between 60 and 200 cm, depending on the terrain),
  • energy source (solar or electric),
  • sensor functions such as motion detectors or twilight switches.

Modern path lights - clear lines, stylish effect

Modern path lights have a discreet and high-quality appearance.
Clear shapes, materials such as aluminium, stainless steel or rusted iron and the colour anthracite characterise the current trend.
This combination creates warm islands of light along paths, driveways or patios.

Advantages of modern garden lights:

  • Timeless, minimalist design
  • LED technology with high energy efficiency
  • Weatherproof thanks to IP65 protection
  • Warm white light (2,700 to 3,000 K) for a pleasant atmosphere

Tip: Rusted iron models bring a rustic touch to modern gardens and look particularly harmonious in natural stone or wooden surroundings.

200 cm high path lights - more overview, more effect

While many path lights are around 60-120 cm high, variants with a height of 200 cm offer a better overview and light diffusion.
They create safety in larger areas, reduce shadow zones and look particularly impressive in entrance areas or along driveways.
Their raised light cone ensures uniform illumination and an aesthetic presence.

Electricity or solar - which energy source is the right one?

Solar versions - sustainable and wireless

Solar-powered path lights are charged by solar cells during the day and switch on automatically when it gets dark.
Advantages:

  • No power connection required
  • Environmentally friendly and low maintenance
  • Simple installation

Make sure you have high-quality rechargeable batteries and sufficient sunlight to achieve optimum lighting duration.

Powered models - constant and powerful

For permanently bright light and reliable performance, power-operated path lights are ideal.
They can be integrated into existing power circuits or smart home systems - perfect for heavily frequented paths and driveways.

With motion detector - light only when it is needed

Lights with motion detectors increase convenience, save energy and offer additional security.
They only activate light when movement is actually detected - ideal for house entrances, garages or rubbish areas.

Your benefits:

  • Automatic switching on and off
  • Energy-efficient and durable
  • Deter unwanted visitors

Adjustable sensitivity and light duration to avoid malfunctions.

Anthracite & stainless steel - trend colours for outdoor areas

The colour anthracite stands for modern elegance and blends harmoniously into almost any architecture.
At the same time, stainless steel garden and path lights create natural accents - a stylish contrast between modern and rustic.

Both versions are easy to care for, resistant to dirt and retain their effect for years to come.
