Romantic Summer Evenings with the Solar Torch

Can't you wait for the first balmy summer evening too? An evening that silently turns into night, becoming a very pleasant extension of a warm summer day. An evening with a cozy barbecue in the garden, where you forget that it has become dark. Or a relaxed sit with all your friends in the park, where it's all about laughing, giggling, roaring, and tasty drinks. The evenings when you only want to think about vacation, because that's where you recognize this feeling from. A holiday to the sun, wouldn't that be nice? You'd get in the car right away, heading to Southern Europe. Or board the plane the next morning, on your way to a sunny destination. Towel and swimsuit in your suitcase and off you go!

FlinQ is already preparing for those summer moments. It feels like 'our' season, full of coziness, drinks, parties, and festivals. The romantic summer evenings are also right up our alley. With the new Solar Torch, we're making those evenings even more unique this summer. This garden torch provides the light you want, creates a sultry atmosphere, making you forget about the rest of your surroundings for a while.

Staycation: Make your Home and Garden Cozy

A vacation abroad can be very nice, but it's always temporary. It's more sustainable to make your house and garden cozy during the summer months. This way, you can enjoy every summer day and evening. So make your home vacation-proof. One of the most important elements in this is outdoor lighting. Of course, this goes beyond a nice garden post or a cozy ground spot. Expand your arsenal of solar-powered lamps by adding floor lamps, hanging lamps, smart lighting, and table lamps to your garden. Don't hold back: there should simply be no lack of light. Especially if you have a veranda, pergola, or covered terrace, you can easily accommodate a decorative hanging lamp or a garden torch.

A solar torch lamp, for example, quickly gives the feeling of being abroad. A long gravel path through a beautiful Italian or French garden, accompanied by a row of lights.

Tip: It's useful to start pimping your garden now, as spring is an excellent time to prune your garden plants, for example. You can read more about this on the numerous websites with gardening tips - you'll have narrow garden inspiration in no time. Don't be surprised if you come across the torch lamp for outdoor use there.

Garden Trends for Garden Design: from Tough to Colorful Garden

Just as with furnishing a living room, there are many different options for the garden. One of the newest trends in garden design and gardening tips is the Bohemian style, also known as boho. This style is characterized by relaxation and coziness. Everything in the garden participates, from garden chairs to other furniture and from lighting to plants. It's all about relaxing, creating a calm atmosphere. You feel like you're in Ibiza. The natural materials used, such as bamboo, also contribute to this. A bit of color is not to be missed. And of course, that hip, round mirror on the fence. Just add a rocking chair and you'll never want to leave the garden again. Boho is also the right address for narrow garden inspiration.

But the industrial garden trend has also been making its mark for a while now. This style has room for tougher attributes, made of iron-strong material - at least to the eye. A large, green barbecue, for example, fits well in this style. The industrial look exudes authenticity and it's allowed to be a bit masculine.

With solar garden decoration, you can make your garden a bit more beautiful and sustainable. The garden torch fits well with a more industrial style, but also finds its way in other garden designs. It's exactly the kind of item you always thought was in your garden.

How Do You Make your Garden Sustainably Cozy?

Once you've completed the layout of the large attributes in your garden and you know where you want everything to be, you're not done yet. Coziness and atmosphere are in the small details you're going to add. In the nice, renewed plants that get a place behind the couch. In the sustainable candles on the large dining table or coffee table. Add a vase, some plumes and flowers in it, and you're almost done. Don't forget to put magazines and nice books outside when the weather is nice. This way, you create a living room feeling, but outside.

Mood lighting, such as a solar torch lamp for outside, should of course not be missing in the garden. It's the icing on the cake when a lot of nice lights come on in the garden in the evening. Add some music, turn on the solar-powered lamps, and the party can begin. You can choose from many different types of lighting: from a row of small bulb lights to a large bamboo lamp, there's simply enough choice.

How nice is it when everything you use in the garden is also sustainable? When you feel that a lot of items are made from natural materials. For example, take a few (used) pallets for the couch. Often these are superfluous at companies and they're willing to sell them to you for a few dollars. Anything better than them being put out with the bulky waste. Add more solar garden decoration and you're being nicely sustainable!

How Does Solar Lighting Work?

Think of the sun as a large energy source. It lovingly sends heat and energy to the earth. With the introduction of solar-powered products, we've started using this well. Solar-powered lamps actually work very simply. You place the solar panel that comes with the garden lighting somewhere in a sunny spot in the garden. This panel captures sunlight during the day via solar cells. In some cases, the panel is also attached to the lamp itself. The captured rays are converted into electrical energy through an ingenious technique and then stored in the rechargeable battery. In the evening, or when it gets dark, the device is able to use this energy and send it to the lamp to provide light. Sockets and other connections become obsolete with solar garden decoration.

Most garden lighting items have motion sensor lamps for outside. This means that the lamp also uses the energy it needs sustainably. The lamp only turns on when movement is detected.

The solar torch lamp for outside also charges via the sun. They are equipped with a handy day-night mode with on and off function. This function is intelligent: the lamp knows when daylight makes the flame no longer visible. With a full battery, the solar torch lamp can last up to 20 hours.

Sustainable solar lamps (and other solar garden decoration) are a nice addition to your garden. You have the lighting in many shapes and sizes, but the solar torch is a unit that really shouldn't be missing. You can use the two torches from the package via the ground spike and then place them in the soil or grass. You can also detach the lamps from the bottom - then you immediately have a cozy table lamp. Finally, you can still use the lamp with the nice handle at the top. Then you can easily hang the garden torch in a nice spot in the garden.

All you need for the solar lamps is... the sun. But this summer, that can also cause a bit too much heat. In the house, for example. Besides garden tips, FlinQ also has tips for cooling down this summer. Read all about it in our blog Cooling down at home during a heatwave with FlinQ's tips
