DESIGN ONE · THE GARDEN AFTER DARK
Garden lighting with our own DALI LED system
We have developed extra-low-voltage LED luminaires that link together with quick connectors. Through the DALI protocol, the brightness of every luminaire can be adjusted individually.
This allows the garden lighting to follow the seasons, changes in planting and the flowers that are currently in bloom. Light can bring the most distinctive features of your garden into focus at the right time.
Coordinated lighting creates a refined outdoor atmosphere every day, whether you are arriving home or hosting a summer evening garden party.
LIGHT · FOLIAGE · FORM
Tree and plant lighting with interchangeable optics
Lighting for trees and plants shapes the garden's sense of depth. A striking tree, a delicate canopy and a group of plants each call for a different distribution of light.
150 types of interchangeable optics
We select optics to suit the size and shape of the plant. The options available for each luminaire, the beam width and the installation position are confirmed during the design process.
Focused light and a balanced evening atmosphere
We direct light towards the feature being highlighted and consider the views from the terrace, windows and neighbouring areas. Darker parts of the garden remain part of the overall composition.
MOVEMENT · RELAXATION · ATMOSPHERE
Garden path, step and terrace lighting
We design the lighting around the way you use your garden. Arrival routes, steps and terrace seating areas each receive an appropriate lighting treatment.
Lighting garden paths and steps
Shielded low-level garden lights and concealed step lighting help define paving and changes in level. We choose the direction of light to suit the route through the garden.
Terrace lighting for evenings together
Dining areas, seating and surrounding plants can be controlled separately. Dimmable lighting creates different atmospheres for entertaining guests and enjoying a quiet evening outdoors.
MATERIAL · PROPORTION · DETAIL
Bespoke garden lights in stainless steel and glass
A garden light is an object in the landscape by day and a source of light after dark. With a bespoke luminaire, we develop its appearance and lighting function together.
Working with stainless steel and glass
The surface finish, proportions and light effects of the glass create the luminaire's character. Dimensions and details are tailored to the garden, paving and architectural surroundings.
Designed for the outdoor setting
When selecting the light source, optics, mounting and connections, we consider the conditions at the site and access for future maintenance.
SYSTEM · CONNECTION · ACCESS
Extra-low-voltage garden lighting with planned installation
Our own extra-low-voltage LED luminaires can be linked together with quick connectors, while DALI enables the brightness of each luminaire to be controlled separately. We plan cable routes, power supply locations and connection points from the outset.
Linkable luminaires with quick connectors
The quick-connect design makes the luminaires easier to connect. We plan the sequence of lights and connector positions around the garden, taking future access and maintenance into account.
UV-resistant rubber cables and planned routes
We consider UV exposure, moisture and mechanical loads when specifying the cabling. Power supplies and protective measures are coordinated with the installer.
ARRIVAL · EVENING · NIGHT
Smart garden lighting with individually dimmable DALI luminaires
In our DALI-controlled system, the brightness of every luminaire can be set separately. Paths, terrace lighting and illuminated planting can work together while the evening scene reflects the garden's changing character.
Lighting for the seasons and flowering plants
Spring flowers, summer foliage and the terrace surroundings can take turns in the spotlight. Individual brightness settings allow the emphasis to change while keeping the overall garden lighting balanced.
Lighting scenes for arriving home and garden parties
An arrival scene can highlight the route to the entrance. For a summer garden party, the terrace and surrounding plants can receive greater emphasis. Preset scenes bring together the right light levels for each occasion.
With a suitable control system, twilight sensing, scheduling and motion detection can also be included. Decorative lighting can be dimmed or switched off after the evening's activities.
With compatible luminaires and controllers, garden lighting can be integrated into Loxone or another building automation system. We confirm compatibility and the method of control for the specific installation.
CONCEPT · TECHNICAL DESIGN · LIGHT SETTINGS
Garden lighting design, from concept to final settings
We begin with the way the garden is used, its architectural setting and the available budget. We develop the solution in coordination with the landscape designer and installers.
Consultation and lighting concept
We review the garden plan, plants, routes and desired evening atmosphere. We define the role of accent lighting and functional light within the overall design.
Luminaire layout and technical coordination
We establish luminaire positions, optics, control groups and cable routes for coordination. The level of documentation follows the agreed scope of the project.
Implementation and evening adjustments
Within the agreed scope, we adjust the direction of light, brightness levels and lighting scenes on site to refine the garden's evening appearance.
GARDEN LIGHTING · YOUR QUESTIONS
Garden lighting design: frequently asked questions
When should garden lighting be planned?
Ideally before landscaping and paving begin. Cable routes, connection points and luminaire positions can then be coordinated with irrigation and planting.
Can LED lighting be added to an existing garden?
Yes, subject to the garden's conditions. We assess cable routing, access and planting, then select suitable luminaires and installation methods.
What light should I choose for trees and plants?
The plant's size and form, the luminaire position and the desired appearance determine the optics and brightness. Colour temperature is chosen to suit the garden's overall evening atmosphere.
What IP rating do garden lights need?
The choice depends on the position and environmental exposure. Cables, connections, installation methods and the manufacturer's instructions matter alongside the luminaire; an IP rating alone does not determine suitability.
Can garden lighting work automatically?
With suitable controls, yes. Our own DALI LED luminaires are individually dimmable, and twilight sensing, scheduling, motion detection and separate lighting scenes can be incorporated. The available functions depend on the chosen control system.
What does garden lighting design and installation cost?
The price depends on the garden's size, the number and type of luminaires, bespoke requirements, cabling and controls. We prepare a quotation based on the agreed technical specification and scope of work.
