With the daylight hours growing longer across the UK, now is the time of year when many Brits’ minds turn to how to spend more time in their garden. There are only so many hours in the day – so why not make the most of your garden in the evening?
Eaton Electrical can help you to do this with our garden lighting installation service. With the right lighting, you can totally transform any outdoor space to be used long after the sun has gone down.
Options for garden lighting
Light up your decking/patio area – Your decking or patio area will be the area you’d like to spend more time on, so it makes sense to light it. Lights can be built seamlessly into the wood of any decking, which can help to protect them and ensure they last. Using LEDs reduces the heat created, and also makes them safe to be at a height that children have access to! Bollard lighting can be used to line any steps up to your decking to ensure safety in the dark.
Wall lighting – Wall lighting can be used all around the property, whether it be to highlight your front entrance and porch, or around patio doors to throw light onto the patio area. These lights can also be linked with sensors to offer security lighting.
Lighting steps or low walls – This is necessary for anyone who wants to use their garden in the evening. Recessed step and wall lights will highlight the perimeters of any walls, whilst small LED lights can be cut into your wall to illuminate steps. You could also use lights at the side of a pathway to lead the way to the house safely.
Driveway lighting – To illuminate your driveway, the most effective lights are ‘drive-over’ lights which highlight the safest route to your parking area or garage (these are especially useful if you have a tight driveway or plants and bushes next to your drive). They can be used in conjunction with bollard lights for extra security, which can be placed on sensors to detect people entering the property.
