In addition to beds and seating areas, a garden naturally also includes garden paths. So that they don't become a tripping hazard in the dark, we recommend illuminating them with solar lamps.
Who doesn't know this: you want to quickly go to the back part of the garden and you'll find yourself on the green areas again. Funny, there was a garden path somewhere?! Well, in the dark it can be quite difficult not to "deviate from the right path". Therefore, it is always advisable to illuminate the garden path properly. Anyone who is afraid of high electricity costs can calm down immediately. After all, there are already umpteen solar lamps that can be used to illuminate garden paths in the best possible way. Here you can even get really creative and set small highlights. Our ideas will tell you how.
Why rely on solar lamps?
The advantages of solar lamps are obvious. They do not require electricity (you can read about how to do this at www.feelgreen.de), can be used flexibly anywhere in the garden and you do not need any prior technical knowledge to install them in the garden. You only have to observe a few important points. According to www.lampenwelt.de it is important, for example, that you align the solar module to the south so that as many hours of sunshine as possible can be used. In addition, it makes sense to rely on products with summer and winter operation. Incidentally, there are even solar lamps with integrated motion detectors. And all without laying any cables and without high electricity costs! Great, right?
How to illuminate your garden paths without electricity
1. classic solar lamps:
First of all, you can of course fall back on the classics, i.e. solar lamps with ground spikes. These are available nowadays in a wide variety of shapes and colors. Even in the form of figures. Anything you like is allowed here and what suits the garden style in particular.
2. Solar String Lights:
Another nice option are solar fairy lights. If you have laid out the garden path like a kind of avenue, then solar light chains will of course come into their own here. They look romantic and still provide enough light.Fairy lights should not only find their place in trees and bushes during the Christmas season.
3. Solar Glow Stones:
If you have created a garden path made of pebbles, you can also distribute solar light stones in between. It looks totally funny when individual stones on the path suddenly start to glow in the dark. However, these stones serve less as lighting and more as a guide.
4. Solar kick plates/inground spotlights:
Personally, I also find solar tread plates or solar floor spotlights nice. They also illuminate the garden path beautifully. However, they should ideally be integrated into the garden path while you are creating it. That's just the easiest. The subsequent installation is a bit more difficult, but of course feasible. Nevertheless, I would always recommend installing solar floor spotlights directly.
Conclusion:
Walking through the garden in the dark is no longer a problem thanks to solar lamps. And best of all: You don't have to lay any cables! It couldn't be easier. Solar lamps are therefore perfect for the garden. You can also swap them out for other models at any time, giving your garden a breath of fresh air. Sometimes you can rely on modern light columns, sometimes on mosaic solar balls and sometimes on luminous solar garden figures. Let off steam and let your garden appear in a completely different light as you wish. You can find more clever ideas for garden lighting without electricity here.
