According to different use environments and design styles, lawn lamps derive different types, which are divided into six categories: European lawn lamps, modern lawn lamps, classical lawn lamps, anti-theft lawn lamps, landscape lawn lamps, and LED lawn lamps.

In the 1990s, lawn lamps were widely used in urban slow lanes, narrow lanes, residential areas, tourist attractions, parks, squares, private gardens, courtyard corridors, lawns and other public places. One side or two of the roads were used for road lighting, improving the safety of people's night travel, increasing the time for people's outdoor activities, and improving the safety of life and property.
