Solar Lighting

Major improvements in both solar cell technology and low energy consumption outdoor LED lights mean that solar garden lighting is now a viable and valid choice for modern outdoor garden lighting.

Outdoor LED lighting is the perfect compliment to LED home lighting – it’s low voltage, safe, cheap to run, robust, reliable, easy to install and a great way to light any garden.

It is a long established doctrine of garden design to consider outdoors as simply another room (or set of rooms) and the basic principles for creating effective home lighting broadly apply to garden lighting also. There are however a number of crucial differences between indoor and outdoor lighting to be aware of.
