Types of Garden Lights
Properly selected lighting for a suburban area is half the success in its decoration. Therefore, it is necessary to understand what functions and features certain lamps for the garden have.
Lamps used in flashlights

The second type is fluorescent lamps. They are characterized by a long service life and a lower level of electricity consumption. They can transmit both a cold shade of light and warm, which allows you to create the necessary atmosphere in the intended installation location. Their cost is significantly different. Be prepared that such lighting will cost a pretty penny. One of the troublesome moments can be considered their disposal. Just throwing out the lamp is like throwing a thermometer. Its internal contents are as harmful as mercury.
The next type is LED lighting. This is the most economical type, but the most expensive. It has very good performance and a long service life. These lights provide daylight, have cool and warm colors, and have a minimum level of energy consumption. 
LED, Solar
Solar-powered garden lights are the last in this classification. Ecological view, the work of which depends on climatic conditions. They are equipped with a battery that is charged by solar energy. Cheap options for such lamps give poor lighting, but better and more expensive models shine well.

Spotlights are particularly popular, although they do not provide high-quality lighting for a large area. Their main task is to create an airy, light atmosphere. Their installation can be carried out on the ceiling, on the facade of the house, on the steps of the stairs and wherever it comes to mind, even in concrete walkways. But it is worth remembering that for such purposes stronger models are used.
The next view is the ceiling. They are mainly of simple geometric shapes, made of transparent or frosted glass. They have various design solutions. Installation is carried out on horizontal or vertical surfaces.
Street garlands are known to us as an accessory decorating houses for New Year's holidays. But you can use them at any time of the year, under any weather conditions, guided by the instructions. However, the strong wind and fifty-degree frost are certainly not their comrades. Such decoration will turn any facade and any summer cottage into a mysterious, magical and incredible beauty night creation.
Wall lights also have a huge number of design solutions. Mounted on front walls, supporting beams or walls of summer houses, etc ...
Materials for flashlights
The variety of materials from which the lamps are made is very large: plastic, wood, glass, metal, concrete, ceramics. The cost of garden lamps also largely depends on what they are made of.
Budget options - made of plastic, which can be simple classic black or decorated with wood or stone. This material is short-lived, which must be considered when buying.
Metal lanterns will last a long time, but when choosing them, exclude metals that are most susceptible to corrosion.
Wood products must be treated with good protective equipment, since this material quickly loses its appearance in outdoor conditions.
