Exterior Posts: The Art of Illuminating Your Spaces with Elegance
Ah, my dear gardening friends! After 40 years of beautifying the gardens of France, I never cease to be amazed by the magic that well-designed lighting can bring to our outdoor spaces. Bollards, these luminous guardians of our paths, are much more than just sources of light - they are the architects of the atmosphere of our outdoor evenings.

Choosing the Perfect Bollard: My Personalized Guide
After so many years advising gardening enthusiasts, I can tell you that there is no secret: the choice of exterior lighting must meet your specific needs. Here are my tips for making the right choice:
The Ideal Height
For a main path, choose bollards about 80 cm high. For more intimate spaces such as terrace edges , opt for lower models which will create a warm atmosphere without dazzling.
The Light Power
Good garden lighting is like a good recipe: it's all in the dosage! For passage areas, our outdoor LED lamps 6 to 10 watts are more than enough. To highlight your garden decorations , consider adjustable models.

The Art of Installation
My friends, installing a post is like planting a tree: you have to prepare! Here are my expert tips for a successful installation:
Preparation of the ground
Start by locating your underground networks. Use our specialized gardening tools to prepare the location. Well-prepared soil is 50% of the job!
Spacing and Harmony
For optimal effect, space your posts 3 to 4 meters apart. This is the ideal distance to create a harmonious line of light without overwhelming your space.
Maintenance and Durability
A well-maintained post means lighting that lasts! A few simple actions are enough:
- Regular cleaning with a soft cloth
- Checking the seals in spring
- Winter protection for the most exposed models
