    • A purple colored lighting symbolizes magic. This attractive shade awakens our spiritual sense, ideal for an event which would be about fantasy or fairy tales.
    • A blue colored lighting is often used for kick offs. A symbol of loyalty, it is an ideal shade to build a stable relationship with your audience, for example, your employees in a team building effort.
    • A red colored lighting represents seduction and desire. There’s no better color for a masquerade themed party.
    • A green colored lighting is soft and can represent nature and optimism. A perfect shade for an event about environment, beauty or health.
    • A yellow colored lighting, similar to white, works in every event. It can bring a friendly and warm atmosphere to your nights.
    • An orange colored lighting will be the right choice to electrify your guests. As orange brings energy and vitality, we advice this color if you wish to organize a dynamic event.

This will enable creating an event whose theme is comprehensible to the senses and in a totally harmonious way.

    Plan the Lighting 

    How can we talk about an event without talking about organization? This planning phase, as its name indicates, enables organizing the beginning and end of the lighting period for a group of lights. Again, from the application and more precisely from the page entitled “programming”, it is possible to configure an “event”.  In other words, it will be child’s play to program the day and time when the selected group of lights will turn on and off. An ideal situation would be if you want to announce the end of the alcoholic beverage service during your reception. By scheduling an “event” from the app, your LED lighting group will visually make that announcement. For example, thanks to the flashing ambiance: all the lights will start flashing during a period you decide and your guests will be informed that this service is over.

    Personalization and Customed Design

    Personalizing an event is the key to leaving a lasting impression. There is nothing better to convey a unique moment to your guests who will feel very privileged. It is entirely possible to customize SMART AND GREEN lamps to best suit your needs. If you want to take it a step further, customized lighting for your event is the game-changing detail. By combining innovation and design, creating an LED custom light for your event will enable you to achieve exclusivity.

While this may seem like a simple enough task to some, it’s one that needs to be thought through if you hope to make the most of the illumination a lamp can provide on a tabletop or the fashionable touch it can create by the pool.

To achieve this, you can place your lights close to your trees or other plantings to perfectly complement the decor. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to place a light on the ground or suspended in the air. After all, why not hang it on a branch? If you decide to position it in a tree, you should use LED lights.


    If you’re on the fence about whether to use a floor or an overhead light, you can split the difference and opt for a standing lamp. The standing lamp will enable lighting up to a certain height while remaining stationary on the ground. Moreover, it will create a modern atmosphere while accomplishing its lighting function. With a standing LED light, you can vary your preferences.

    The STAND IT enables you to place the lamp you want at a height, like a standing lamp. In addition to a natural looking design, adding lights around plantings and trees will enable you to highlight them as soon as the sun goes down.

    The must-have to turn your plants into the stars of your garden is the lighted pot: a genuine two-in-one. It will serve as a simple flower pot during the day and as an LED lighted pot at night, lighting up whenever you want. A pink or blue light reflection on the leaves of a shrub will add a colorful ambiance to your outdoor space.
    The ideas are numerous and vary according to your desires. Don’t be afraid to be daring and creative with nomadic lights that can be moved whenever you want. You can also play on the number by arranging several lights and illuminating them with different colors to create a blend such as blue and yellow.

    Create A Pathway Worthy Of Hollywood

    Defining a path with lights is the perfect way to lend a chic, modern feel to your garden. This lighted path can be a walkway guiding your guests from the gate to the front door or from the terrace to the entrance.

    Arrange the lights symmetrically on either side of your walkway and let them guide you.

    To ensure effective lighting, be sure to create a distance between the fixtures that is consistent with their light output. The idea is to create a soft atmosphere. It is important to avoid too much light intensity that would hinder the visibility of the person walking on the path.

    For greater effect, go for lights that are triggered by motion detection. A true technological innovation, you will enjoy seeing your lamps light up at the slightest detection of movement. Discreet and compact, the SENSOR MESH motion detector offers a unique light management concept. Simply walk along and you will see the fixtures lighting up at the same rhythm. This type of custom lighting is useful if you don’t want to continuously illuminate an area of your yard. Save energy while surprising those who walk by.

     Our tip: For a romantic dinner date, dazzle your partner with pink and red light fixtures that illuminate the path to a beautifully set table.

    Outdoor Lighting, More Like Solar Powered Lighting!  

    What could be better than illuminating your backyard with solar energy? In addition to the design and layout of the fixtures, the way they operate is important. While it is recommended to avoid overly technical electrical installations by replacing them with wireless connected lights, you can also opt for solar LED lights that are recharged by natural light such as SUNLITE. The SUNLITE charger is composed of a waterproof solar panel and a charging platform. It will enable you to recharge the battery of your lamp in an environmentally friendly way.

    Although the charging method changes, the use of your light remains the same. Once recharged by natural light, your lamp will illuminate the space where you decided to place it: terrace, pool, etc.

    Outdoor Decorating Trends To Embrace in 2021

    Time to read: 5 minutes. —

    Spring is upon us… Now is the perfect time to start decorating your garden, balcony or terrace, taking inspiration from the 2021 decorating trends to design your very own private getaway. 

    An Outdoor Space To Get Away From It All

    With the many restrictions we are currently facing due to the health crisis, our backyards, terraces, and balconies have turned into real outlets. The goal is to design your outdoor space to make you feel the most comfortable, whether in cozy or tropical mode, to each their own. In any case, your outdoor space deserves a lot of attention as it allows you to spend time outside.

    This year, the trend is to create distinct spaces within the garden. From outdoor dining areas to the usual garden lounge, let your creativity run free. Some decorative objects and small furniture usually placed indoors can easily be moved outside. Many brands in this segment offer outdoor shelves and coat racks, as well as Oriental style rugs, as part of their new product lines. Such items are what will allow you to give your exterior a certain spirit and atmosphere.
    You can choose to stick with a wild and tropical feel, or design your little patch of heaven with a similar tone to your living room.

    The Coffee Table, A Must-Have In Outdoor Furniture

    When it comes to outdoor furniture, the coffee table is the centerpiece of any outdoor lounge. It allows you put down your beverages as you relax and unwind. This year, round coffee tables are the way to go. The shape is very trendy right now, along with light natural shades. This trend, well loved for its modern feel, still leaves room for a wide choice of materials, colors, and sizes. Feel free to mix colors and materials, that’s still very much in trend.

    For instance, how about taking the original route with a LED Coffee Table? Regarding sizes, it is best to keep in mind the size of your outdoor space: a coffee table on a balcony should not feel too bulky. This is less of a concern in a big backyard.

    In 2021, We Want Some Color!

    The new 2021 color trends for your exterior are very versatile, with something for everyone! For starters, natural colors such as curry yellow, sage green, or terracotta are very on trend and will blend nicely with an outdoor space featuring lots of greenery. Both small accessories and large furniture can be found in these color tones. You can also combine colors and materials in this way. For example, you might pick out terracotta colored iron chairs along with terracotta ornaments for the table. This will allow your outdoor furniture to echo its natural surroundings.


    Equally trendy are timeless pastel colors. These are great for sprucing up your garden or patio. For example, you will find hues such as ice mint, opaline green, and frosted grey. In fact, keep in mind that this year, “grey is the new black”. Have fun mixing these different shades to create a harmonious and colorful atmosphere for your exterior.
    For something simpler: ecru, grey, and beige are three rather “nude” colors that we suggest you go for this year. They go well with everything and can be paired with a variety of colors in any outdoor setting. With beige colors, you can design an outdoor space in a Scandinavian or bohemian style.

    Choosing The Right Lighting For A Modern Outdoor Space 

    We can’t stress this enough: lighting is an essential part of the design!
    Nowadays, many realize its importance and turn to innovative lighting for their outdoor spaces. Forget about lamps that are solely meant to light up, there are now countless lighting fixtures that are both stylish and functional.

    For SMART AND GREEN, both quality and aesthetics are essential. For this reason, we offer lighting fixtures of various shapes and sizes to meet the needs of the widest range of people while combining the maximum amount of design features. Our lamps provide a dual experience: a stylish object by day and a Bluetooth lighting device by night. Modern outdoor spaces are equipped with beautiful lighting designs and a great quality of light that serve to showcase the area.

    Technology is no longer limited to indoors. It has become an integral part of your exterior, through connected lights that can be operated from your smartphone or tablet. They can be programmed to activate, at any given time, simultaneously or separately. Things get even better when you combine lighting and ornamental objects. For example, a lighted flower pot can serve as a simple flower pot by day and brighten up your evenings when night falls. Lighted furniture items are great assets to your outdoor space.

    The Swimming Pool, Not To Be Overlooked

    Pool design is not available to everyone, however, should you have the means, be sure to consider it. Since the first lockdown, the market for this type of equipment has been growing rapidly. This can be explained by a need for homebound people to regain some freedom by swimming or relaxing in the pool. Once again, there is something for all tastes and budgets: from pool kits, the above-ground pool, the usual in-ground pool, the infinity pool, to the natural pool… To have such a facility in your backyard allows you to a experience escapism without having to step out of your backyard.

    An ideal solution in the midst of this health crisis, when the advice is to stay at home! Owning a swimming pool is also an incentive to make it look great, so why not arrange pastel-colored lounge chairs all around it, hang a hammock in between two trees for sunbathing, and of course, install waterproof lights to illuminate your nighttime swims. Our favorite product to equip this type of water space is the sturdy and water resistant LED light ball, which serves as a decorative piece, a lighting device, as well as a fun ball to play with in the water!
