"This year, IKEA is introducing a whole new summer range for dining, relaxing and creating an outdoor haven." says Madeleine Lowenborg-Frick, Public Relations Manager for IKEA Canada. "Three key trends have emerged from this season's Collection. Modular lounge seating, eco-friendly outdoor options, and graphic statements. These trends are driven by function as much as by style."
Ikea is making sure that summers don't make you waste electricity in illuminating your garden for an outdoor barbeque with a new range of solar-powered lights, which are available in different shapes and sizes to tickle the taste of all. The lights are powered by the energy of the sun, which is stored in rechargeable and replaceable batteries during daytime.
All the lighting fixtures carry LEDs that consume 70% less electricity than conventional lamps and last up to 4 times as long as regular bulbs. Most importantly, these lights are completely wireless, which saves you from digging your garden to hide the ugly wires. The lights should be on the shelves in the next few weeks.
Of course you won't be able to use them to light an outdoor party unless you plan on having your guests stumbling around in the dark. But they will still provide a lovely ambiance.
