As spring approaches, outdoor spaces — from terraces and gardens to public squares — are rethought with a focus on sustainability, design quality, and functionality. Outdoor lighting plays a key role in shaping these environments, balancing visual comfort, aesthetic value, and environmental awareness.

At Solinfo Group, we are always on the lookout for innovative solutions to help private clients, architects, designers, and contractors create future-proof outdoor spaces. This spring, we highlight the latest trends and novelties from our lighting partners, with a focus on:
• Solutions to reduce light pollution
• Natural materials like wood for a warm, organic effect
• Customizable and decorative outdoor lighting
• Multifunctional systems for complex needs

Explore the most exciting outdoor lighting trends below!

1. Lighting the Outdoors Responsibly – Reducing Light Pollution

Creating beautiful outdoor spaces while preserving the night sky is now a key concern in urban design. New products from L&L Luce&Light and BEGA offer targeted, shielded light with minimal spill, to ensure both functionality and environmental respect.

L&L Luce&Light – OLIVER: Precision Lighting with Minimal Light Spill

OLIVER is a new family of outdoor projectors from L&L Luce&Light, designed to highlight façades, gardens, and public spaces without unnecessary light dispersion. Thanks to high-performance optics and a sleek, minimal design, Oliver ensures precise, glare-free lighting.
Available in multiple sizes and light color temperatures, Oliver supports flexible lighting design — whether you’re working on hospitality terraces, residential courtyards, or public installations.

Fun fact: the name is inspired by the olive tree, a symbol of resilience and longevity —just like these durable lighting solutions, built for the long term.

BEGA – Garden and Pathway Luminaires: Shielded, Smart, and Sky-Friendly

BEGA’s garden and pathway luminaires are a great choice for anyone looking to combine functional pathway lighting with eco-conscious design. Their fully shielded, downward-directed light ensures glare-free illumination, without any light spilling upward — helping to protect the darkness of the night sky.
Available with smart controls and motion sensors, these luminaires can be networked and dimmed via app, and adapt their color temperature (3000 K or 4000 K) for the perfect ambiance. A great solution for restaurants, hotels, and urban spaces that want to offer guests a pleasant atmosphere while respecting nature and reducing light pollution.

2. Embracing Nature – Wood as a Key Material in Outdoor Lighting

Natural materials are becoming central to outdoor design, as they bring warmth and a human touch to public spaces. Both BEGA and iGuzzini are leading this trend with their wood-based lighting solutions.

BEGA – Wood and Light: A Timeless Combination

Bringing warmth and a natural touch to outdoor areas, BEGA now offers wooden garden and pathway lights, using durable, weather-resistant Accoya® wood. Combined with aluminum, these luminaires are perfect for creating cozy yet contemporary terraces, gardens, and public spaces.

Accoya® wood is a specially treated, eco-friendly material that is extremely durable and weather-resistant, making it highly resistant to moisture, mold, and warping — an ideal choice for long-lasting outdoor lighting solutions.

Not only are they tough and long-lasting, but they also age beautifully, adding character over time. With their natural look and smart construction, these pieces prove that sustainability and design can go hand in hand.

iGuzzini – Urban Lighting with Wooden Poles: Creating Urban Forests

Even in large urban settings, natural materials like wood can soften the look of public spaces. With their new range of wooden lighting poles, iGuzzini brings a warm, human touch to city environments — an ideal way to create more welcoming, organic atmospheres.
These wooden poles are not only beautiful but also sustainable: they are made from PEFC-certified Finnish pine, ensuring responsibly sourced materials. Strong and durable, they contribute to a greener urban landscape while adding an element of natural design.
Perfect for parks, promenades, squares, or hospitality terraces, these poles help integrate nature into cities — both visually and environmentally.

3. Customizable and Decorative Outdoor Lighting – Design Meets Function

Outdoor lighting doesn’t have to be just functional—it can also create atmosphere, highlight architecture, and adapt to the mood of the space. From color-changing solutions to poetic decorative lights, here are two standout novelties for unique outdoor experiences.

L&L Luce&Light – RIO RGBW: Continuous Lines of Light, Now with Color

The popular RIO series by L&L Luce&Light — known for its sleek, linear design and uninterrupted light — now comes in an RGBW version, allowing for both warm white and colored lighting.
Whether for a hotel courtyard, a restaurant terrace, or a public square, RIO RGBW lets you set the perfect mood: from elegant white light to playful colors for events and special occasions. Thanks to its recessed installation and high durability (drive-over up to 5000 kg), RIO is ideal for pathways and outdoor architecture alike.
Plus, no dark gaps between fixtures ensure a flawless, continuous line of light.

Linea Light – Blum Spike: A Playful, Elegant Accent for Gardens

Blum Spike from Linea Light is a decorative outdoor lamp inspired by nature — its thin, flexible stem mimicking a flower swaying in the wind. Available as a single lamp or a composition of three stems, Blum Spike brings a soft, elegant touch to gardens, terraces, or outdoor lounge areas.
Thanks to its flexible design, you can easily adjust the direction of the light to highlight plants or pathways. Made from durable materials and IP65 rated, it’s ready for any weather. (The IP65 rating is an international standard that ensures the lamp is both dust-tight and protected against light pressure water spray, making it ideal for outdoor use, even in challenging weather conditions.)

4. Multifunctional and Versatile Lighting for Complex Needs

Modern outdoor projects — from hospitality spaces to public squares — often require lighting that adapts to different architectural situations. Versatility and modularity are key, and Linea Light’s Skin family is a great example.

Linea Light – Skin: Modular, Elegant, and Functional

Skin is a flexible, modular outdoor lighting system designed to adapt to any architectural need. Thanks to its unique elongated hexagonal shape, Skin can follow curved surfaces, non-linear facades, or complex perimeters — whether recessed in the ground, mounted on walls, or ceiling-fixed.
Available with various light distributions (from narrow spot to wide flood and asymmetrical wall-wash), Skin offers a tailored solution for each space. Its minimal, refined design and durable structure make it a smart choice for contemporary urban and architectural projects.
Whether you need functional pathway lighting, architectural highlights, or mood lighting for terraces, Skin does it all — with style.

As outdoor spaces continue to evolve, lighting solutions need to be more than just functional — they must blend technology with nature, offer flexibility, and respect environmental limits. At Solinfo Group, we are proud to bring forward-thinking, design-led solutions to help create outdoor environments that are beautiful, responsible, and sustainable.
