  • How To Arrange Your Outdoor Lighting?

    How To Arrange Your Outdoor Lighting?

    Time to read: 5 minutes. —

    These days, many of us begin to design our outdoor spaces wondering how to position our lighting fixtures. 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. 

    Select The Correct IP Code Rating For Your Lighting  

    Before even thinking about where to place your lights, it is important to make sure you select fixtures with an adequate protection rating (IP) to be placed outdoors. Safety comes first. If you select a light fixture with the intention of placing it in your backyard or on your patio, make sure it meets these conditions:

    • Its IP protection rating must be higher than 44.
    • If the fixture is connected to an outlet and switch, make sure they are waterproof too.
    • The same goes for the lamp itself. You should choose a waterproof fixture that can withstand the elements.

    If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to contact the retailer supplying the lighting fixture or a specialist. Wireless fixtures are a good choice for this type of lamp because they avoid the problem of deciding whether the cables are water resistance.

    Once you are sure that your light is suitable for outdoor use, all you have to do next is place it!

    Lighting Around And Inside The Pool

    Lighting up your pool not only enables you to decorate it but also to make it safer. Indeed, adding light around the pool will enable defining it as soon as the night falls. In terms of decorations, several possibilities await you.

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.

    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!

    The perfect solution to combine authenticity and modernity. It is not a rare thing to see recesses in walls in some houses. Many people use these spaces for decoration where they place a variety of decorative objects, like books for example.
    The idea here is to accent these little spaces with LED lights, of which you can adjust the color according to the theme of the room. For instance, a yellow colored light is ideal for a recess decorated with books, and a pink light is perfect to embellish a more cheerful decoration. Don’t hesitate to try out new colors and theme!

    For this usage, neutral colors, like white, won’t work if the wall’s color is already light. It will be more pleasant to pick a light with soft tones, like a light green or a sunny yellow.

    Adhesive STRIPLED To Create A Path

    While we are used to seeing LED strips along a ceiling, it is rarer to see them being used to highlight a path. Though, it is an orignal way to decorate any space in your house, in a room, a hallway or even a path through a garden.

    It comes as no surprise that the color yellow is advised for this type of lighting. However, know that blue can also bring a soothing mood, perfect for a cozy reading afternoon. Favor a LED disposition at the back of a bookshelf rather than in the front, as to give the light more depth.

    Optimize Your Home Office With LEDs

    Digital Technology For A More Comfortable Life 

    It is so much easier today to order a product on the internet via your smartphone, than it is to go to a store. Digitization should be a simple process.
    Ever since the first lockdown, the digital world has permeated our daily lives. Just remember, not only could we stay entertained with new apps such as TikTok, but we were also able to keep ordering our favorite items from our computers, tablets or indeed our smartphones. 

    According to a recently published study by Vision Direct*, “the average adult spends 34 years of their life looking at screens”. These devices have such a strong hold on our lives that we often feel as if our smartphone was grafted to our palm.

    Digitization within our homes

    Within a house or an apartment, digital components aimed at making its occupants’ lives easier are not uncommon. From surveillance cameras that allow you to monitor your home in real time directly from your smartphone, to connected speakers that can tell jokes as well as play music: home is an increasingly digitized space.

    SMART AND GREEN lights are also operable from your smartphone or tablet. Simply install an app to remotely manage the various parameters of your LED design lamp. The goal is to provide the user with a simple way to change the light color or intensity without having to physically reach for the lamp. With just a few clicks, you can set up lighting units in groups and manage them all simultaneously. A very convenient feature when organizing receptions and similar events.

    Using the Smart and Green app to remotely control a light fixture relies on Bluetooth Mesh technology. This technology will allow users to digitize their home with a specific goal in mind: to facilitate their daily life without compromising their health with technologies that can sometimes be considered too harmful and too intrusive. Respect towards individuals and their privacy are key aspects of Smart and Green’s vision. 

    What We Can Expect From Digital Home Technology

    In the field of digital, we know one thing for sure: it is constantly evolving. This truth is all the more confirmed with the health crisis we are currently facing which drives us towards digitization. Be it for consumer or work purposes, our screens have become our daily companions. It goes without saying: our future will be connected. Tomorrow’s homes will be more than just a place of belonging, they will also be functional, evolving, and connected.

    Imagine a house equipped with a standard mailbox that divides into a mail compartment and a refrigerated box to receive food ordered directly from your phone. We could also imagine a solar bench spreading light waves allowing you to dry yourself in just a few minutes as soon as you get out of your bath or shower. 

    The possibilities are endless and should you be interested in experiencing such a house, know that it already exists. 
    Your appointment with the future will take place in Brussels, Belgium. The ultra connected home, known as Living Tomorrow, features futuristic technological innovations, some of which were mentioned in the previous paragraph.

    Everything You Need To Know To Arrange A Comfortable And Practical Home Office!

    Time to read: 4 minutes. —

    Many of us went back to teleworking as a result of the ongoing health crisis. Working from home has consequently become the daily routine for many people as a way of limiting the need to go out. 

    Choosing and Designing A Home Office

    Of course, it all starts with choosing the right room. This does not always depend on your own personal wishes. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a room dedicated to their home office.

    The most important thing is to have at least some space for a desk, the actual piece of furniture. Sitting down in front of it enables you to immerse yourself in your work. Above all, you should avoid working from a sofa or your bed. Choose the quietest area in your home, where there is the most light. Indeed, studies show that natural light when working contributes to both productivity and satisfaction. Start from the assumption that daylight should account for at least 40% of the luminosity required for your work.

    Decoration, The Detail That Changes Everything

    The point is not only to create a workspace, it is also to create a home office that you enjoy so that you feel even more like working. To do so, nothing could be easier. Add photos of your family and friends, along with some plants and decorative elements that you like. If you have the time and inclination, you can also repaint the wall behind your desk. This will freshen up your room and best mark out your workspace. This is a beneficial activity idea for this lockdown.

    Proper Lighting For Productive Work

    The role played by light in our productivity at work is crucial. It is important to know the correct lighting for our office, what combinations we can make, and what light intensity is the most suitable.

    In addition to daylight, it is also very important to have proper lighting in your home office. The ideal lighting fixture will continue to be the indispensable desk lamp. Another possibility is to add wireless table lamps to intensify the lighting while decorating your space. To best choose your lamp, it is necessary to follow several criteria. Namely:

    • As a minimum, try to achieve a brightness of 500 Lux to illuminate your workspace.
    • 40 ou 60 WATTS sont largement suffisants pour éclairer votre espace de travail.
    • Choose a white light rather than a yellow light. A light that tends towards neutral white or cool white is better for working efficiently. It will enable you to feel comfortable and productive. Yellow light is more suitable for your living room, for example, because it generates an atmosphere that suggests relaxation.

    Of course you can also place other light sources around your workspace, such as a table lamp.

    The Language Of Colors

    Placing other colored lights all around your workspace will enable you to define the atmosphere and personalize your home office. Specific colors are beneficial to your efficiency, hence contributing to your productivity.

    For example, for your light fixtures:

    • Blue light is ideal for creative people. It feeds the imagination and therefore enhances inventiveness.
    • A violet light will help you concentrate. It works very well for those who tend to be easily mesmerized by everything that happens around them.
    • A pink light will bring positivity to your work area. Joy and good humor are the order of the day!
    • An orange light will pep you up and give you energy.

    Last but not least, when choosing the lighting color for your home office fixture, be aware that red is the one color of light to avoid. This color has a tendency to irritate.

  • Control Your Lights? Easy With SMART AND GREEN

    Control Your Lights? Easy With SMART AND GREEN

    Learn how to control your lights thanks to the innovative Bluetooth Mesh technology and Smart and Green app!

    A Little History…

    During the Middle Ages, people used the timeless candle for lighting until the arrival of the oil lamp in the 1780s. By definition, the oil lamp, as its name indicates, is a lamp whose fuel is oil. In those days, animal fat was mostly used, such as whale oil, although vegetable and mineral oil could also be used. During the centuries that followed, new lighting processes were introduced, including the petroleum lamp and the electroluminescent lamp. Today, there are many ways to light a room.

    We are increasingly striving to illuminate in an environmentally responsible manner by means of solar energy and energy-saving lighting. Progress does not stop there. Whereas during the Middle Ages it was customary to “turn on” lights with fire, today we have a whole host of methods as varied as they are original to address this problem.

    Among them is the idea of moving from a basic light switch, to the clap of hands or by voice, to control and manage your lights. In particular, the trend is towards switching on and managing one’s lighting via a simple smartphone.

    Control Your Lights Via An App

    The idea here is to make life easier. For that, there is only one thing to do: download an application.

    Once you install the app, you’ll be able to control all the lights in your home with a single tap on your smartphone. It’s as fast as it is magical. Many people are eager for this new way of life. Indeed, as you may have already noticed, this solution does not only exist for lighting. Many everyday objects are now “connected”.

    Commonly, we use Bluetooth technology to enable us to control our devices remotely. At SMART AND GREEN there exists a very special technology: the Bluetooth Mesh.

    Bluetooth SmartMesh Technology

    In a nutshell, Bluetooth Mesh, unlike the traditional Bluetooth, enables managing not one, but several devices over a short range. It allows sending a signal from one device to another as well as operating all these devices as a group.

    If you are interested in learning more about this technology, we invite you to read our article entitled “Bluetooth Mesh, what is it?

    Control Your Lights, For What?

    You must have dreamed as a child of turning the lights on or off from your couch, without even having to move a finger. Now you can do it. As you can also choose the color, the intensity, and in short the atmosphere of your room! There’s no denying it, controlling your lights remotely makes life easier, yet it doesn’t stop there.

    • You turn off your television and decide to read a book? Opt for a low intensity blue light to enjoy the comfort of reading with a light setting that won’t damage your eyes.
    • You would like to create a warm atmosphere for your dinner guests? Go for a yellow light that will highlight your dining table.
    • When it comes to your backyard, there’s nothing more relaxing than being able to turn off your outside lights from inside the house when it’s -10C° outside, right?

    There are many solutions for managing your lighting fixtures, all of which are constantly evolving. By the way, did you know that you can just as easily ditch your smartphone and remote control devices altogether to discover the motion detection feature? Don’t move! Or you could be caught in the spotlight…
