With lanterns, fairy lights and solar lights you put your garden in the right light without the hassle of laying cables. Read here how you can easily make your own individual garden lighting.

With solar lights, no cables need to be laid

Solar lights illuminate the garden without cable clutter

Tired of poring over complicated installation plans for your garden lighting? Then rely on the power of the sun to operate lamps, spotlights and lights. You can do without an expensive power connection with solar lights to immerse your garden in atmospheric light. Be inspired by these ideas:

  • Ball lights spread modern flair in the bed, next to the terrace and on the pond
  • Create a Christmas atmosphere with solar lamps in the form of stars, angels and reindeer
  • Solar LED spotlights let your most beautiful plants shine in bright light

If fairy lights are to set the scene for your barbecue party or winter garden, you can save yourself nerve-wracking tangled cables thanks to solar technology. The chain of lights is fed with free energy via a crystalline solar module with a ground spike.

Romantic light for the garden - this is how it works with lanterns

On warm summer nights, lanterns with flickering firelight provide romantic light in the garden and on the terrace. Decorative lanterns can be found on the market to match any style of garden. The following collection of ideas demonstrates the whole range of creative design variants of garden lighting on your own:

  • Lanterns made of stainless steel with large candles as ground lights for the modern garden
  • Mason jars filled with decorative sand and tea lights for quick garden lighting in between
  • Artfully cut out old tin cans, fill them with candles and hang them up for a rustic ambience
  • Japanese stone lantern for stylish lighting in the Zen garden

If you want to make great garden lighting yourself with your children, you can't avoid the hollowed-out pumpkin. From a large Hokkaido pumpkin, cut off the top third for the lid. The pulp is then scooped out. With cookie cutters, ballpoint pens or screwdrivers, the pumpkin is given an artistic pattern. Tea lights, candles or fairy lights provide the necessary light.

tips

Safety is key when planning your garden lighting. Therefore, do not leave stairs, paths and possible tripping hazards in the dark. Battery-operated LED lights with motion detectors reliably provide light at critical points at just the right time.
