Garden Lighting
Garden lighting is considered an essential element to finishing your garden.
It can create a lovely atmosphere for your garden in the evenings, so that
you can appreciate and enjoy your garden at any time. Garden lighting should
be considered when you are designing your garden, so that you can create
subtle and innovative designs that add magic to your night-time garden environment.
When preparing to install garden lighting, consider the following:
- Garden lighting can be expensive, so make sure that you install your
lighting correctly the first time.
- Add facilities to allow you to add extra lighting in the future.
- Remember that outdoor lighting can attract insects. If you are placing
lighting around the patio area or wish to eat outdoors, arrange to get
special lighting that deters insects. This is perhaps more expensive;
but it will make your experience outside more enjoyable. Also arrange
with your installer to place lights so that they are not directly in the
patio area.
- You can get creative with your outdoor lights: Remember that instead
of replicating daylight, you should be using your lights to highlight
aspects of your garden, and create a mood.
- Ask your professional installer to help you select the correct lights
for the effect you are trying to create. There are many different types
of lights and lamps, so make sure you are using the correct lights to
create the desired effect.
- With garden lighting less is usually more.
- Cheap lights can break easily, and are usually not worth the effort
it takes to install. More expensive lights usually have a longer durability,
and are therefore more value for money.
- To position your lights correctly, you need to arrange them at night.
Therefore if you are hiring a professional, make them aware that they
will expected to work some nights.
- Try to conceal the light source in your garden, for a softer, more natural
effect.
- You can ask to have remote controlled lighting for convenience. This allows you to program lighting times, and with the new versions even allows you to access it by internet.
