Safety
Lights at steps, stairs, pathways, and changes of level provide a complete feeling of safety. They also lead and entice people to wander and discover the garden. Avoid glare or blinding lights shining into people’s eyes as they move.
Entertainment
To increase your enjoyment of the garden install lighting at your entertainment and BBQ area. For long nights full of food and joy think about dimmer switches: they ensure that you have bright task lighting for cooking which can be lowered for a soothing atmosphere at dining time.
Highlights
With lighting, you can draw the eye to focal points in your garden. Uplights at plants and trees make the space seem larger and add to the appeal of the garden. Silhouetting and shadow effects are instilling a mysterious feeling. Add some magic to water features by submersible lighting. Lighting the pool turns it into a dramatic nighttime attraction with a safety aspect.
