Types of Garden Lighting

Regardless of your budget or garden style, the various types of garden lighting available mean you should be able to find just what you’re looking for. Garden lighting has grown increasingly popular as people look to make the most of their outdoor space during the summer months. Rare summer nights can come to an abrupt end when the sun goes down but with warm temperatures remaining, garden lights can keep the night alive.

The list of outdoor lighting types below will hopefully help you to decide on the correct sort for your garden. With solar garden lights also readily available now, on-going costs can also be removed entirely!

Solar Stake Lights

One of the most popular types of garden lighting is solar stake lights. Known for their affordability, efficiency and simplicity, stake lighting can easily be fitted and moved in a matter of seconds. Without requiring wiring or a large floor space, stake lights can be placed around your garden or in a particular area depending on your own preference.

Security Lights

Security lights seem like a straightforward, functional purchase but many garden security lights can also double as an effective source of lighting for a seating area. Of course the key benefit is to protect your property and offer peace of mind. But if your security lights have the option to remain on permanently through a switch, they can be perfect for lighting a decking or patio space.

String Lights

String lights offer an entirely different option. They can be used in a number of different ways such as along the tops of fences, on pergolas, around decking or sleepers, the choice is yours! Whilst string lights require slightly more fitting time than stake lights, they generally offer considerably more light and across a wider area.

Garden Lanterns

Lanterns are a great little feature to add to any garden. Not only do they add a good amount of light but they can easily be hung, placed on the ground or moved around whenever necessary. With both conventionally and solar powered lanterns also available, you won’t need to compromise if building an eco friendly garden is one of your aims.
