Outdoor Lamps

Sitting outside as the sun goes down — that only works with the right lighting. Whether you want to set a moody scene in your garden, make your terrace usable in the evenings or create a cosy atmosphere under a pergola: buying outdoor lamps is worth it when quality, design and weather resistance come together. In the livevibe range you'll find outdoor lights that deliver exactly that.

Which outdoor lamps suit your exterior?

Choosing the right outdoor light depends on where and how you want to use it. For a terrace or covered seating area, outdoor floor lamps work particularly well — they add an elegant accent and can be positioned flexibly. Wall lights, on the other hand, are ideal for fixed mounting on house walls, fences or pergola posts, providing directed, pleasant light. For the table or as an atmospheric accent in the garden, compact table lights and lanterns are the perfect choice.

Bioethanol and oil lamps for the garden add a special touch: they produce warm, flickering light without any power connection and create an atmosphere that no LED light can fully replicate. As a complementary or alternative light source, they're a real eye-catcher on any summer terrace.

Cordless outdoor lamps — more freedom, less hassle

Wired outdoor lighting is demanding to install and limits where you can position your furniture. A cordless outdoor lamp with a rechargeable battery solves this problem elegantly: charge it, place it, done. You can take it with you whenever you rearrange, without hunting for a socket.

Garden lighting with a rechargeable battery is today powerful enough for long evenings — modern batteries last for many hours, and dimmable models let you adjust the brightness to match your mood. From an intimate dinner to a garden party, a good selection of cordless lights covers every scenario.

Weather-resistant outdoor lights: what to look for when buying

Not every lamp that looks good will survive a Swiss winter or a stormy evening on the terrace. For permanent outdoor use you need outdoor lamps that are explicitly rated as weather-resistant or outdoor-suitable. Splash-proof models withstand rain, spray and moisture without taking damage.

Pay attention to material quality too: premium outdoor materials such as UV-resistant plastic, rust-free metal or treated aluminium make the difference between a light that fades after two seasons and one that continues to look great long-term. If you want to buy outdoor lamps that can genuinely stay outside permanently, it's worth checking the material details on the product page.

Planning terrace and pergola lighting properly

Good outdoor lighting is best thought of in layers: low-level light from floor lamps or battery-powered lanterns creates atmosphere. Wall lights and pendant lamps on the pergola provide functional light for dining or reading. Targeted accents from table lights complete the picture. Anyone who coordinates terrace and pergola lighting creates an outdoor space that feels like a living room — not just a garden.

When planning, it helps to define the brightest zone first (dining area, lounge corner) and then extend the layers outward from there. Dimmable models give you the flexibility to switch between mood lighting and bright functional light — with a single touch.
