Outdoor lighting
Light little, light well
A garden is not lit like a car park. A few low, warm sources, one tree picked out, a path marked: in the evening the garden becomes another room, without dazzling the house, the neighbours or the moths.
We work from southern Luxembourg up to Mersch.
We work in low voltage, with warm colour temperatures and beams aimed downwards or at the material: the foot of a stone wall, the bark of an old tree, the edge of a terrace. Light brings out the relief instead of flattening the garden, and the installation goes in without heavy trenching in an established garden.
We light sparingly, out of conviction as much as taste: a garden lives at night, and permanent cold lighting disturbs everything that lives in it. Sensors where you need to see, a timer where you want atmosphere, darkness everywhere else. That is our design rule.
Spots recessed into a timber deck are fitted while it is being built. If a terrace is on the cards, think of the two together: the two jobs go naturally hand in hand.
What this covers
Marking out paths
Low bollards and recessed ground lights to mark a path, a step, an entrance, without turning the garden into a runway.
Lighting a tree
One uplighter at the foot of a fine specimen, adjusted with the season. The strongest effect in a night garden, from a single source.
Terrace lighting
Spots recessed into the boards, strips under the handrails: light built into the structure, fitted with it.
How it works
The night visit
We come at dusk with a lamp in hand and try it out on site: a trunk, a low wall, a step, the edge of the terrace. It is the only way to see what deserves light, and what gains from staying dark.
The lighting plan
We note every point: height, beam direction, colour temperature, output. The plan also separates the circuits (path, terrace, trees) so that everything does not come on at once.
The installation
The low voltage cable runs at shallow depth, slipped under the beds rather than trenched across the lawn. The transformer sits in the garage or in an outdoor cabinet, and every fitting can still be taken out one at a time.
The setting up
One last evening on site: we aim, we shield, we turn down. Nine times out of ten, what was planned lights too much. Good lighting is the kind you end up forgetting.
