Outdoor lights are excellent for creating ambience and extending the use of your garden into the night.

They create warmth and atmosphere when you are entertaining and can highlight unique plants, sculptures or water features.

Lights in your outdoor space also provide practical illumination, ensuring safety for your family and visitors and deterring intruders.

Light fittings need to suit their location

The key to successful garden lighting is balance.

You don’t want it to be too harsh or dominating.

Think about the purpose of light placement.

For example, do you want lights to guide visitors along a garden path or to subtly highlight a particular tree?

This will help you decide if you need a horizontal or vertical lighting solution.

Emphasise your garden’s best feature

If you have a beautiful tree or sculpture, highlight it with lighting.

Consider how the light will reflect and the impact this will have on the atmosphere.

Less is more is a good approach when highlighting aspects of your outdoor space.

Choose quality fittings – Brass is best

Garden lights must withstand weather extremes.

The key is to invest in durable, well-made fittings that will last. We recommend brass lights, which are resistant to corrosion and will withstand the elements.

Practice restraint

You don’t want your garden to look like a theme park.

It is important to keep a balance of light and dark and to take people on a journey.

Choosing what not to illuminate is just as important when placing lights.

Highlight your pool or water feature

Accentuate your water features by using uplighting, backlighting, or submersible lighting.

Underwater lighting creates ambiance and extra visibility and safety in areas such as swimming pools.
