A rechargeable outdoor light illuminates without a cable or socket: it sits on a terrace, a garden table, a poolside or along a path, then recharges elsewhere. Choose it first by its protection rating, its light colour and its mounting, wall or floor.
What is a rechargeable outdoor light, and where to place it?
The models in this selection are wall-mounted or free-standing, with an aluminium body and protection ranging from IP44 to IP67 depending on use. Three criteria really decide the right model: the protection rating, the light colour and the mounting type, wall or floor.
Rechargeable outdoor lights: no cable, no socket
Think of the garden table you linger at after dinner, the path you sense without a fixed spotlight, the corner of the terrace that stays in the dark. A rechargeable light illuminates exactly where electricity does not reach, moves from one corner to another and rests on an indoor socket to recharge. Aluminium dominates this selection, alongside metal, glass, acrylic and a few iron pieces. LED technology equips almost every model, which limits both consumption and heat output. To see the available families, browse the wireless rechargeable lights, then expand to all Designix lights if you are also looking for an indoor piece.
Rechargeable outdoor floor lamp for a large terrace
On a large terrace, a light placed on the ground does not reach far enough. A floor-standing model raises the source above the seating and lights the table rather than the guests' feet. The Éclat model comes in heights from 40 to 240 cm and accepts a dimmer, so you can set the mood between aperitif and tidying up. Stem height then becomes a selection criterion as important as power. Find these formats in the outdoor floor lamps.
What are the best outdoor lights?
The best outdoor lights are the ones that stay outside: IP65 protection, aluminium body, warm white light between 2700 and 3500 K. In this selection, Sylva, 5 W in IP65, Orvia, Orsa and Betone light a wall or an entrance, while the Éclat model in IP67 with a dimmer suits large areas.
Rechargeable outdoor light for a 20 m2 terrace
On 20 m2, plan for two light points rather than one very powerful one: one near the table, one at the end of the terrace to outline the wall boundary. A wide, diffuse model such as Orvia, 30 W in white aluminium, covers the dining area without glare. For a simple outline, the 7 W of Betone, in grey, or Oréva in white are more than enough. Compare these formats in the modern outdoor lights.
IP65 aluminium models to stay outside all year
The trio of material, IP rating and light colour decides how well it lasts. Sylva, Orvia and Orsa are in aluminium with a warm white light; Nael in aluminium and glass, in IP54 and 10 W, suits a wall sheltered under an awning. ÉclatModerne, 10 W in IP65, brings a minimalist line to a recent facade. To go further, see the outdoor LED lighting.
What light colour for an outdoor light: warm white or cool white?
Warm white, between 2700 and 3500 K, gives a soft, friendly light, suited to a terrace or an outdoor dinner. Neutral white lights an entrance more clearly, and cool white, above 4500 K, suits areas to be secured. Éclat and ÉclatModerne offer several temperatures to choose from.
Warm white 2700-3500 K: the mood of a terrace in the evening
This is the most common temperature in this selection, carried by Sylva, Orsa, Orvia, Nael, Betone, Scope and Hylo. It extends the living room light onto the terrace without a break, flatters stone and wood, and is less tiring for the eye late in the evening. A set entirely in warm white keeps a facade consistent, especially when several design pieces for terrace share the same wall.
Neutral white and cool white for an entrance or an area to secure
On a threshold, a gate or a path you want to read at a glance, neutral white between 3500 and 4500 K gives a clearer reading. Cool white above 4500 K remains reserved for transit areas. For lighting that reacts to movement, look at the motion sensor lights, which pair well with a fixed model.
IP44, IP54, IP65 or IP67: which protection for outdoors?
The IP rating indicates resistance to dust and water. IP44 suits a sheltered area, IP54 a lightly exposed wall, IP65 an open terrace or poolside, IP67 highly exposed areas. Most of this selection is IP65 or IP54.
| IP rating | Where to install it | What it means | Examples in the collection |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP44 | Under an awning, a sheltered porch, a conservatory | Protected against water spray, to be reserved for covered areas | ZenEclat, CharmeRétro |
| IP54 | Lightly exposed terrace wall, sheltered entrance | Resists dust and splashes | Noctis II, Nael, Show, Pull, Selio |
| IP65 | Open terrace, garden, poolside | Water jet proof, stays outside all year | Sylva, Orvia, Orsa, Oréva, Betone, Hylo, ÉclatModerne, Scope |
| IP67 | Highly exposed area | The highest protection level in the selection | Éclat |
IP44 and IP54: under an awning or on a sheltered wall
These two levels target locations where water arrives without accumulating: under a porch, against a covered entrance, on a terrace wall that gets little rain. ZenEclat and CharmeRétro with its E27 socket, both IP44, sit well there. In IP54, Nael, Selio, Pull and Show hold up on a lightly exposed wall, provided they stay out of direct jets.
IP65 and IP67: poolside and open terrace
As soon as a light stays outside permanently, IP65 becomes the reasonable threshold: Sylva, Orsa, Orvia, Oréva, Betone, Hylo, ÉclatModerne in metal and aluminium and Scope fall into this category. Near a pool, that is the benchmark to remember. To choose by area, compare the models designed to light a poolside.
LED, E27 or GU10 socket: how to choose your outdoor light?
An integrated LED socket cannot be changed: nothing to plan, the light is set by the manufacturer. The E27 socket accepts a bulb you choose, useful for adjusting intensity or replacing a burnt-out bulb. GU10, rarer, is used for adjustable spotlights, such as Scope.
| Model | Material | Socket | Light temperature | IP | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Éclat | Metal, aluminium, acrylic | LED | 2700-3500 K, 3500-4500 K, 4500-6500 K | IP67 | 15 to 60 W, dimmer |
| Sylva | Aluminium | LED | 2700-3500 K | IP65 | 5 W |
| Orsa | Aluminium | LED | 2700-3500 K | IP65 | 30 W |
| Nael | Aluminium and glass | LED | 2700-3500 K | IP54 | 10 W |
| ZenEclat | Metal, glass, iron, aluminium, acrylic | E27 | Depending on the bulb chosen | IP44 | Depending on the bulb chosen |
| Hylo | Metal, glass, iron | E27 | Depending on the bulb chosen | IP65 | Depending on the bulb chosen |
Integrated LED socket: nothing to change
It is the simplest choice: the light is set at the factory, consumption stays low and no maintenance is required. Sylva, Orsa, Orvia, Nael, Betone, ÉclatModerne and Éclat work this way. The power ratings in the selection range from 4 W for accent lighting to 50 W for a GU10 socket, which leaves room between a simple outline and an entire facade. See also the white models for a light facade.
E27 and GU10: the bulb you choose
With an E27 socket, you stay in control: intensity, temperature, replacement. Hylo and its E27 socket in IP65 suits a courtyard or an old building, and ZenEclat plays the same card in IP44. GU10 equips adjustable spotlights such as Scope with a GU10 socket, useful for aiming at a wall or a flower bed.
Original decorative lights or modern lights: which style for outdoors?
The contemporary style, very present here, relies on simple lines and black, white or anthracite shades. Vintage or rustic pieces, such as CharmeRétro or Hylo, bring character to an old facade. ÉclatModerne and ZenEclat play the Italian design and Japanese style card.
Modern and contemporary lights: simple lines, understated shades
Black, white, grey, anthracite and bronze cover most models, with tube shapes for the majority of pieces, then square, round or oval. This understatement lets several lights match on the same facade without the whole becoming noisy. Orvia, Selio and Nael stay discreet on a garden wall. For new architecture, look instead at the modern outdoor lights.
Original decorative lights: CharmeRétro, Hylo and ZenEclat
An old building, a stone courtyard or a porch can take a more elaborate piece. CharmeRétro, in metal and glass, comes in black, bronze and silver; Hylo mixes metal, glass and iron. ZenEclat brings a graphic silhouette to a wooden terrace. These pieces can be found in the original decorative lights, and the most elaborate finishes in the chic and high-end lights.
How to install and maintain a rechargeable outdoor light?
A wall light is fixed at eye level, out of the way, on a sound support; a rechargeable model moves and rests without tools. For maintenance, a soft cloth is enough on aluminium, glass and acrylic. The warranty is 5 years on a large majority of the models in the selection.
At what height should you place an outdoor wall light?
Above a passage, allow about 2 m so as not to hinder walking; on a terrace wall, 1.80 to 2 m places the source above seated eye level and avoids glare. A floor-standing model is set lower, around 1 m, to light without glare. Aim the light at the surface to be lit, never at the eyes, and check that the support can take the weight before drilling.
Maintaining aluminium, glass and acrylic
Remove the light, then wipe the body and diffuser with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products and solvents, which dull the black, white or bronze finishes. Regular cleaning preserves the shade and the quality of the light. The warranty covers 5 years on most models and 2 years on the rest, a point to compare before ordering.
Where to find a lighting store in Lyon and buy a rechargeable light?
This selection is ordered online, with tracked delivery, returns and secure payment, without depending on a store. If you are looking for a lighting store in Lyon, compare the models seen in store with those in the collection: check the IP rating, the socket and the warranty before buying.
Lighting store in Lyon or online order?
In store, you judge the real shade and size; online, you access references the shelf does not show and you keep the technical sheet in front of you. The right method stays the same in both cases: note the IP rating, the material, the socket and the warranty length, then compare. Our our selection of lights remains available at any time, and Designix customer service answers before purchase.
Lighting clearance sale Lyon: what to check before buying
A lighting clearance sale in Lyon often makes you forget the essentials: a model with no readable IP rating, no warranty or with an unavailable bulb costs more over time. Check the socket (LED, E27 or GU10), the light temperature and the actual stock availability. An IP65 model guaranteed for 5 years is worth more than an isolated piece. See also the design pieces for terrace.
Frequently asked questions
What is the battery life of a rechargeable bulb?
Battery life depends on the power and the lighting mode chosen: a 4 W model uses less than a 30 W model. As a rule, allow 6 to 12 hours of continuous lighting, for about 4 to 6 hours of charging. Check these two values before ordering.
Do you need an E27 socket or an integrated LED for an outdoor light?
An integrated LED sets the light and requires no maintenance: this is the case for Sylva, Orsa, Orvia and Nael. An E27 socket, as on Hylo or ZenEclat, lets you choose the bulb and replace it if needed. The choice therefore depends on the flexibility you want.
Which IP rating to choose for a light near a pool?
Near a pool, aim for an IP65 rating at minimum: it protects against jets and splashes. Most of the selection is IP65, including Sylva, Orsa, Orvia, Hylo, ÉclatModerne and Scope. The IP67 of Éclat covers the most exposed areas.
Which lights for a WC when there is no socket?
In a WC without a socket, a rechargeable light is placed without electricity and moves as needed. For a damp room, prefer a well-protected model and a warm white light, more comfortable than cool white. Avoid models with an E27 socket not designed for permanent outdoor use.
How to maintain an aluminium outdoor light?
Remove or unplug the light, then wipe the aluminium and glass with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products and solvents, which dull the finishes. Regular cleaning is enough to preserve the shade and the quality of the light.
