Outdoor lamps & lighting

Designer outdoor lighting to illuminate your outdoor sanctuary

Outdoor lighting is an essential part of designing any home’s exterior spaces. It not only illuminates dark evenings but also creates ambience and enhances safety. Whether you’re lighting up a garden, terrace, or balcony, Finnish Design Shop offers a versatile selection of outdoor lamps suitable for both modern and classic tastes.

Discover modern outdoor lamps for different purposes

• Outdoor table lamps come in many shapes and sizes, with many featuring the convenience of being portable and rechargeable.

• Outdoor wall lamps are the ideal solution for illuminating walls and entrances. They enhance safety by lighting up doors, stairs, and pathways.

• Garden lights are perfect for lighting larger areas like gardens and driveways. Often taller in design, they provide wide-reaching illumination, making movement safer and easier.

• For a cosy finishing touch, pair outdoor lighting with atmospheric candles and candleholders or outdoor-ready lanterns and fire pits.

Outdoor lighting and IP ratings

IP ratings (Ingress Protection) for outdoor lamps indicate their level of protection against dust and moisture. The rating consists of two numbers:

• The first digit (0–6) indicates protection against solid objects like dust.
• The second digit (0–9) indicates protection against moisture.

The right IP rating depends on where the light will be placed: a covered terrace requires a lower rating, while open garden areas benefit from higher protection. For example, IP44 is suitable for lights exposed to occasional moisture, while IP67 ensures the lamp can withstand temporary immersion in water.
