“The main task of a garden is to provide its visitor with the most beautiful and highest form of earthly pleasure.”, wrote Gertrude Jekyll. It is therefore important to decorate it in such a way that we feel comfortable in it. Garden design elements that serve several purposes at once and are very trendy are solar light orbs.

Creating an atmospheric ambiance with solar orbs for the garden and patio

Spending more time in nature is a trend. What is better suited for this than your own garden? There, we find joy in gardening and relax after a strenuous day at work. When the weather is nice, the day begins with breakfast on the patio overlooking our own created paradise. During the day, the children play in the garden. In the evening, we sit there together with family and friends and enjoy the long evenings. Solar light orbs create the right ambiance for this.

Solar light orbs – a contribution to environmental protection

Solar light orbs work with a solar module and an integrated twilight switch. When it starts to get dark, the solar light orbs switch on automatically and illuminate our garden in an atmospheric way. They shine for several hours because the LEDs they are equipped with consume very little energy. Short winter days are enough to illuminate the garden for a long time. Your only task is to keep the light orbs free of debris.

Flexible placement of solar light orbs

Thanks to the solar module associated with the light orbs, the lighting fixtures are flexible. They do not require a cable or an additional solar collector. If you no longer like the intended place for the orb or you need the lighting elsewhere, you can easily move them. You can attach the light orbs in the garden using a ground spike. If you need solar light orbs on the balcony, on the patio, or on paved paths, use flattened, heavy solar lights in orb shape. Alternatively, use models that find their place in decorative bowls.

What you should consider when buying

When ordering solar light orbs online, pay attention to the desired size. Specifications like XXL, small, or large are just as confusing as pictures. The decisive factor is the specification of the diameter of the solar light orb. The following information will help you find the correct size:

Diameter Comparable object
9 cm Tennis ball
12 cm Grapefruit
22 cm Soccer ball
50 cm Knee-high orb

Only buy solar light orbs that are protected against moisture. If they are marked with the note “splash-proof”, there is a risk of water ingress in the event of puddles forming or watering with a garden hose. If you leave the orbs in the garden in winter, frost resistance is a necessary purchase criterion.

Suggestions for garden design with solar light orbs

If you place several orbs of different sizes and colors next to each other, this creates a visually appealing overall picture. Alternatively, stick several small orbs decoratively distributed in the ground. At regular intervals, these adorn paths, flower bed edges, and hedges and provide the necessary safety when taking a walk in the garden in the evening. Individual large solar light orbs look good in driveways.

You can achieve special effects when choosing the light colors. You can choose between:

  • automatic color change,
  • colored light,
  • warm white light,
  • light that switches between colors and white,
  • cold white light.

No matter how you arrange the solar light orbs – with these design elements, you can enchant your garden into a holiday paradise in a trendy, modern way.
