Outdoor and Garden Lighting Ideas

The right outdoor lighting transforms how you use your home after dark, making the garden inviting, the entertaining area usable and the property more secure. Here are some ideas and what to keep in mind.

Popular options

• Feature and uplighting to highlight trees, walls and the front of the house.
• Path and step lights for safe, attractive access.
• Deck and patio lighting for the entertaining area.
• Wall lights at doors and along the house.
• Security lighting with motion sensors at entry points and dark corners.

Low voltage or 240 volt?

Low-voltage garden lighting is flexible and neat for beds and paths, while 240-volt fittings suit brighter and permanent installations. We will recommend the right mix for the effect you want.

Built to last outdoors

Outdoor fittings need the right weatherproof rating, and near the bay it pays to choose corrosion-resistant fittings that stand up to salt air. Sensors and timers save power by running lights only when needed, and smart control lets you set scenes from your phone. We plan and install outdoor lighting that looks good and holds up to the weather.
