Some garlands, two candles on the table … And the garden lights up at nightfall, practical? No. Cozy? A bit, as long as you want to control a barbecue or search your things in the shade. Zoom on a much better alternative.
After falling from the night, some small decorative lights quickly show their limits. This is why, many who give up enjoying their exterior, for lack of sufficient light, and turn to temporary alternatives. Inexpensive and simple to install, solar garlands light up automatically, but their power falls as soon as a cloud passes and their independence flanhes, especially after a season or two: dead battery, weak LED.
On the other hand, certain objects thought for the interior are remarkable outdoors, provided you choose them well. First asset: Endurance. Unlike solar garlands, whose LEDs rarely survive two seasons, this other option promises between 20,000 and 50,000 hours of light, without loss of intensity. According to Livingetc, she does not vacillate: “No variation in intensity or flashing as soon as a cloud passes”.
On the price side, these vary depending on the quality. High -end models cost more than 100 euros, but last years, inside and out. Others, more accessible and available at Leroy Merlin, Sklum or La Redoute, cost less than 30 euros, often in lot with intensity adjustment or color temperature. Less visually refined, they make the job: efficient, pleasant lighting, without complications.
As a bonus, these lights are mobile. We put them where we want, we put them away, we take them on vacation. No more extensions or dead garlands from 8 p.m. after a cloudy day. Technical blogs also welcome their solidity in the face of shocks and their sealing: the lamp remains on even on the terrace on a summer evening. Solarreviews talks about a “Stylish solution, without cable, which really works over time”.
We are talking about portable lamps here, to be placed on the table and rechargeable in USB. Made with anti-humidity materials, with neat design, they offer reliable light. In a guide dedicated to nomadic lighting, the Strategist Note: “USB rechargeable table lamps are among the most versatile options, with more reliable light than that of solar solutions”.
Effective, energy -consuming, they therefore offer a constant light for dinner, read or share a moment with friends. They do not wear out over the seasons, depend on any catch and simply arise. Initially imagined to decorate our salons, they now find their place in the middle of the garden.
