The garland: essential element for THE decorative touch of your exterior
If you're lazy, go for a solar string light, you don't have to worry about it. You'll just have to wait and let the sun do the work for you. Despite what you may think, a garland is primarily used for decoration . The lighting of a garland is not as powerful as that of a simple lamp. It will bring the decorative touch that will make your garden, terrace, pergola or balcony, the essential place for your exterior. Depending on the chosen garland, you will create a warm, festive, romantic, country or vintage atmosphere. It's up to you to choose and why not change according to your desires !
Whether solar or wired, with warm white or cold white lighting or even multicolored, the garland is the key element of your outdoor decoration.
Where to install your garland? Here again, many possibilities are available to you: under a pergola, on a palisade, in a tree, in a pot, hanging from your balcony... Let your imagination run wild!
And the environment in all this? Most garlands are equipped with LED bulbs. This is the best, because these bulbs have a very low energy consumption. All you have to do is make your choice to make your exterior a living space in its own right for sunny days.
Choose the wreath that best suits you
Indeed, choosing a garland does not only depend on its design, it is also necessary to see what is the most practical for you. Solar panel or electrical outlet ? it's up to you to decide which is the most practical. Solar garlands are increasingly popular because they do not consume electricity. However, they still have some drawbacks. A solar garland is recharged with solar energy, so I might as well tell you that if the weather isn't nice, it's a mess!
If you live in an area that is often cloudy or rainy, we advise you to focus more on wired garlands such as the Party Clear or Fantasy Star garland from Lumisky. These are wired light garlands that will bring a simple but very trendy style to your decor. Indeed, these garlands are ideal to bring a decorative touch to your interior or exterior. It's up to you to choose the best location for them.
The advantages and disadvantages of a solar string light and a wired string light:
Let's start with the wired garland . It has the advantage of powerful lighting compared to the solar garland due to the energy source. Indeed, solar energy is less powerful than electricity. In addition, it can be used both indoors and outdoors. Regarding its negative points, the wired garland is often more expensive and has the obligation to have a socket nearby. And unfortunately, the connection cable is not always very discreet and can disturb your decoration!

You do not need to take care of it, it is very easy to use. For the disadvantages, the solar panel must be exposed to the sun for several hours so you have to find a strategic place for it! In addition, the garland will have a limited autonomy and will only be usable outdoors. As we mentioned above, it is important to live in a sunny region to be able to recharge your garland. Finally, its lighting remains less powerful than a wired garland.
