Garden Lighting

Garden lighting is a way for you to extend the hours you can spend in your garden. The lighting is primarily decorative. The most common lights are small, between six and eighteen inches tall. They are designed to be placed on the sides of a garden path to light the way.

As it serves an aesthetic purpose first and foremost, garden lighting is not recommended as a work light. If you are going to spend time weeding and planting, that is best done by day. However, when the time comes to kick back and enjoy that hard work the lighting really shines, if you will pardon the pun.

Garden lighting can take on a form to compliment any style of garden. For simple vegetable gardens, a rustic look will do nicely. For walking gardens, a more formal or imperial looking light is in order. For eastern style viewing gardens the choices range from the whimsical and fantastic to the solid yet stately.

The newest innovations in garden lighting are solar lights, which charge during the day via a small panel on top of the light, and then shine after the sun sets. These lights provide an environmentally friendly source of light, and since they are self contained with both power sources and lights, they don’t need to be wired, which makes installation a cinch.
