3 tips to make your garden safer with lighting

As the days grow shorter and darkness falls earlier in the evening, we’re quickly reminded of how important proper outdoor lighting is. Especially when it’s wet or slippery, or when you’re looking out from your home into a dark garden, lighting plays a major role in both safety and comfort. With in-lite, you can easily illuminate trees, driveways, garden paths, and façades. In this blog, we’re sharing three practical tips to smartly light up your outdoor space and make it safer after dark.

Tip 1: Illuminate Paths and Driveways

paths, stairs and driveways deserve extra attention after dark. By lighting them properly you reduce the risk of tripping and make the route both safe and easy to navigate.

The right driveway lighting not only improves visibility when parking but also enhances the safety and atmosphere of your outdoor space. Drive-over ground lights such as FUSION and PUCK are perfect for driveways: they can be installed directly on or alongside the paving, subtly mark the route and are strong enough to withstand the weight of vehicles. Ground spots also create a magical ambience on your terrace or garden path. Imagine a starry sky beneath your feet as they illuminate the path in a subtle yet safe way. These fixtures are available in Ø60 mm and Ø22 mm.

Freestanding fixtures such as EVO and ACE illuminate paths and driveways from a higher vantage point, lighting up a larger area and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. They serve as stylish focal points that bring your garden to life in the evening while providing functional light exactly where you need it. By lighting paths and driveways, you not only enhance safety but also add depth and dimension to your outdoor space, making your garden a pleasant and welcoming place after dark.

Tip 2: use routines in the app

With the in-lite app, you can make your outdoor lighting smarter than ever. Use Routines to set timers so your lights automatically turn on at sunset and off at sunrise. This way, your garden is always perfectly illuminated without you having to lift a finger. Dark corners and hard-to-see areas disappear, making your garden not only more atmospheric but also less inviting to unwanted visitors.

Note: a SMART HUB is required to use the in-lite app.

Tip 3: Smart move

Add the smart motion sensor SMART MOVE to your garden. When it detects movement, SMART MOVE instantly activates the lights, making it perfect for illuminating your driveway or a dark path to the door. With the in-lite app, you can easily set how long the lights stay on, ensuring they’re never on unnecessarily.
