Lets Get Your Garden Summer Ready!
Published on 21 Mar 2022 by
Now that the summer is fastly approaching and we will be able to enjoy the warmer weather which means spending more time in our gardens of an evening , it would be the right time to think about illuminating your garden. We can provide every style of exterior light fitting for all features you already have, be it statues, water features, ponds, rockeries, decking, patios, sleepers, walls, pergolas, pathways, flower beds, lawns and trees. All these things can be lit up at night.
Some examples of this are:
Deck Lighting-
Decking Lights installed within an area will help to complete the look, and create an almost fairy tale ambience. Lights can be placed on the decking posts and rails for maximum exposure at an elevated position. For a very classical look you can build them into the wood of the decking, and this helps to protect them as well. The look is very unique and seamless, and is a favourite with many homeowners. The light can bring out the quality and shape of the wood, as well as different textures. They take a little more work to fit them and install but the finished result is one of the best around, and will really set your garden apart from the rest. Using LED in the decking is ideal as the lamp produces very little heat and will be safe to touch for children. Low level bollards can be used at the side of entrance steps to the patio decking area.
Garden Spike Lights -
Putting lighting in between rocks and stones will make shadows and shapes with great effect at night and will enhance the scenery at night. There are hundreds of small low level spike lights which use LED power and can be easily concealed in these areas. Spread lights can also be used in rockery areas as a down light. Twin adjustable spike lights are also very flexible and enable you to down light or highlight an object with one lamp whilst up lighting a tree or tall shrub with the other lamp. The bulk of lights we sell are Garden Spike Lights and the beauty of this style of light is that they come in a number of finishes to blend in with your garden and they can be moved around the soil to light whatever you're growing in your garden or want to feature. You can use coloured filters or coloured LED lamps to provide a unique shade to a particular area. Some of the spike lights have glare shields so you can direct the light where you want it and this will reduce any sideways light spillage.
Garden Step Lights -

Recessed step and wall lights are ideal for safety and perimeter lights. Small LED lights can be cut into a wall to illuminate steps. Use one light every 2 to 3 steps and position it about 20mm above the step. Brick lights can be used to illuminate an entrance to a property or to illuminate a perimeter wall. The wall lights are used to eliminate dark trip hazard areas on steps and may also be used in low level perimeter walls to mark out a pathway. This type of lighting is always a bonus to garden walls in either the rear or front of your property and make a statement and add a flare of sophistication to the outside of your home.
