Garden lighting adds an alternative dimension to your garden, extending the day is just part of it - outdoor lighting can provide a totally different view from the daylight perspective, be it for the summer barbecue, or as an alternative to closing the curtains on cooler, damper evenings. Part of the garden lighting design process is about choosing and applying creative garden lighting effects - then the task is to achieve a beautifully lit garden without seeing the light fittings, so skill in choosing the correct garden lights for the deck, terrace and features as well as outdoor lights for the house is the counterpart to artistic exterior lighting.


Here are some simple ideas and tips that will help you create your own garden lighting design to enhance your outside space at night , the size of your garden will determine how many lights you can place around it. This seems like a straight forward point, but if you try to put too many in a small space you will almost certainly overdo it. Sometimes less is more so to speak, another factor is the amount of features you already have, be it statues, walkways, decking, water features, ponds, rockery, lawns and trees. All these things can be lit up at night, and knowing the layout of the garden will help to blend these features together. A good starting point would be to connect a spot or floodlight to a long extension


lead and walk it round the garden at night to see what effects can be created. Lay it on the floor up-lighting a canopy of a tree, face it towards a particular object or against a fence panel to give a sense of light and space that is created Using this method will save you a lot of time in the long run as you can establish very quickly how many fittings you may need and where your cable runs are going to go. It will be too late once all the cables have been buried and the lights installed. Try different beam angles and wattage’s to maximize effect, even a splash of colour. A lamp as low as 20w or a 3w LED is surprisingly bright at night in the garden as it does not have to compete with natural daylight.
