Lighting is an element that is essential for us every day. Try to imagine a life in which electricity would not be included? It seems difficult, if not impossible, is not it?

And yet, in the layout of a terrace, many of us do not think about this element so fundamental. Is it the presence of the sun as the primary source of light that confuses us, or simply a lack of reflection as to the function that will serve our outdoor space? Whatever the reason, we dedicate this article to theterrace lighting and hope to highlight (yes, the pun is intentional) all the options available to you.

So, the first thing you need to know and understand about terrace lighting is that it works just like indoor lighting. When you think about lighting your interior, you think about your needs and how you will use your space – what will I do in this room? Do I want a reading corner here? Do I need an office here to study? All these questions that we ask also suggest the need for specific lighting. It is the same for a terrace. How do you plan to occupy this space? Organize a barbecue dinner? Look at the stars ? Eat as a family? Once you have some idea or even better – a specific idea – you can begin to build your terrace.

Illuminate a remarkable massif? Mark the curve of a terrace? Create a beautiful atmosphere? Secure an entrance patio? Judiciously spread over a terrace or garden, the lighting can be integrated into the decor while highlighting some of its elements. It is as practical as it is aesthetic and there are very varied products, traditional, contemporary or even design. The most common option is that of LED lighting. Thanks to their low power consumption and their longer life, LED lamps (or abbreviated French LEDs) are increasingly used for lighting. They are available in all forms: spots that can be embedded in the floor or ceiling, external terminals or posts or even LED ribbons very practical for illuminating long surfaces by creating a halo effect.
