We can only hope for a better summer in 2010 so we can enjoy our gardens more this year. Garden lighting can help to enhance your garden even if you are only viewing it from indoors.Looking out on a well-lit garden extends the home to the outdoors even if the weather does not allow us to venture out.
A well laid out lighting plan can make your garden a magical and enchanting place to either be in if the weather allows or just to look at from the warmth and comfort of the indoors.The whole character of a garden can be changed at night adding a new dimension to specimen plants, water features, ponds, terraced gardens and pathways.Painting with light will allow you to create drama and beauty in your garden year round.The addition of garden lighting also enhances the safety aspect of your garden and reduces risks by lighting walkways, decking, pools and a host of landscaping features.Lighting your garden for the autumn and winter can enhance the colour and beauty of the wonderful autumnal colours and enhance the structure of your garden in the winter months.
Lighting is one aspect that remains a bit of a mystery to most gardeners. Most leave electric lighting well out of their spaces, opting for solar lights, candles, Gel Burners and oil lanterns when the mood takes them. But, if you go that extra mile and get some cable laid, light can totally transform a garden space. There are basically two systems that you can go for: a 240-volt system that runs straight from the mains or a 12-volt system that runs from a mains powered socket and through a transformer.
With our 12 volt lighting system from Luxform you can easily and safely add extra atmosphere in your garden. There are lights for every part of your garden from lighting to illuminate paths and steps to lights which are specially designed to pick out a certain features or planting groups.
