enhance the features – uplights for sculptures, discreet spotlights for a tree or pretty plant and maybe an IP68 submerged pond light to create a nice effect within your water feature. If you have a wooden pergola, consider micro 1 watt fittings inset into the frame to highlight the joins and shapes, which in turn will light a seating area beneath. We’ve worked closely with several carpenters and landscape designers to come up with the best in innovative garden features. For outdoor table lighting you have
a few options. If you wanted to go all out, you could choose an exterior pendant which would be a fabulous, decorative addition to the garden as well as a great task light on the table. As a temporary and reusable
feature for an impromptu summer barbeque (after all, you never know what weather we’re going to get!) you could create a centre piece using battery or solar powered LeD string lights – wind them around a small plant, or even put them into glass jars which you could tie to the spokes of your parasol. These will create more focused light onto the table so you can see what you’re eating! There is a lovely battery
powered lamp by Davide Groppi called the Tetatet which is a great multifunctional light. It fits together using magnets, it’s lightweight and has a very thin, flat base so doesn’t take up too much table space. It also has a very long battery life. This would create a soft, intimate light setting for your table.
We’d advise against anything bigger than 5 watt fittings for outside as it’s more than enough light in a dark garden. We also try to insist that all your drivers are wired back to your house or wired back to one, central, potted enclosure for easy maintenance and to ensure they don’t get wet. It is essential you put your outdoor
lights on a daylight sensor to avoid the lighting coming on during the day. You could control it further so that they turn off automatically at midnight to save energy. You may even want some lights on a PIR, such as the floor washers on steps so that they’ll come on as you pass the sensor by the steps and stay on for 3 minutes or so, giving you plenty of time to get to your front door.
