Lighting Options in the Gazebo in the Country

Lighting in a summer cottage plays an important role. Therefore, every owner of a summer or a country house has to think about lighting the surrounding area, for example surface mounted downlights. The greatest difficulties are usually caused by the organization of lighting in the gazebo and veranda. There are 4 main options for lighting in the gazebo.

General

This type of lighting is the most familiar, because it is similar to home. The main lighting device is a chandelier. Models with frosted shades and dim lamps (75 W is enough) are the most suitable. You can not do without electrical wiring. This is the main disadvantage of this option.
