Garden lighting solved - outdoor lighting for your garden

When planning a permanent garden lighting scheme for your garden, it can be best to try out your ideas using torches first.

Think about your lighting from a practical perspective - for example, walk the route to the front door in the dark and note the places that need to be lit...

Think also about lighting purely for effect. For example, to make your garden feel larger, try using uplighters so that they shine against a distant fence and draw the eye into the distance.


Lighting a tree or specimen shrub can become a real focal point. Uplighting the trunk and foliage is a popular choice, but I often prefer moonlighting a tree for a more subtle effect.

Remember, less is more. Lighting is most effective when it is used sparingly and at low wattage (40w or less is ideal)

You will need help from an electrician to install most permanent lighting.

You can trust the high quality Paver light for their power of luminance. If installed correctly in the garden area, it will help enhancing its beauty tremendously.
