OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Les Jardins is built on the concept on preservation and environmental enlightenment. Our mission consists of bringing technology and design together to achieve efficiency and sustainability. Our planet has been losing its glow, and Les Jardins is committed to bringing back the light.
The world must be protected for future generations and it’s our times responsibility to act now. Every step in the right direction lowers our planets carbon footprint, and Les Jardins will be playing part in preserving a brighter future.
POWERED BY THE SUN
For over three decades, Les Jardins has been dedicated to crafting lighting that is not only beautiful and modern, but also deeply sustainable. At the heart of our philosophy lies a commitment to strengthening the bond between humanity and nature. This guiding principle has shaped our identity — infusing our creations with refined elegance, enduring power, and unmatched performance.
All Les Jardins lighting is powered entirely by the sun, eliminating dependence on environmentally harmful fuels. In doing so, we proudly contribute to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve the planet for future generations.
PROTECTING WILDLIFE WITH YKARY
Les Jardins' latest solar innovation introduces YKARY — meaning “light” in Japanese.This groundbreaking bulb features dual light temperatures: a warm 1800K Amber and a soft 2700K White. Each gradient is designed with purpose — not just for ambiance, but to serve and protect the environment. Amber light, in particular, has received widespread recognition for its role in safeguarding coastal ecosystems. In many coastal regions, bright white lighting can disorient nesting sea turtles, drawing hatchlings away from the ocean and toward dangerous roadways — a tragic misdirection that results in thousands of deaths each year.
YKARY addresses this issue head-on. Its 1800K Amber illumination is invisible to most coastal wildlife, significantly reducing disruption to their natural behavior. By integrating this technology, Les Jardins helps eliminate a major threat to hatching sea turtles — aligning innovation with conservation.
INVESTMENTS IN RECYCLABLE PACKAGING
Les Jardins has implemented a new eco-conscious way of packaging solar lanterns, all whilst increasing accessibility and safety. Every 2.0 lamp is now wrapped and preserved using 100% recyclable materials – cardboard and paper.
The removal of styrene foam and plastic wrapping paper has allowed for a neat, effective packaging which can be effortlessly taken apart. Innovative boxing eliminates the use of unneeded small fragments which induce mess and allow for a quick transition from packaged to in use.
ENVISIONING A MORE ENLIGHTENED FUTURE
We, at Les Jardins, are committed to minimizing our carbon footprint and contributing to the long and difficult task of preserving planet earth for future generations. We envision a future where the world not only enjoys cleaner air but also embraces an expansion of trees, teeming with more diverse wildlife, resulting in improved expected outcomes.
We know it is important for all of us to be much more connected to nature, and each other. Our goal lies in making this new, more sustainable world, a reality.
