Garden Lighting
Good garden lighting makes the backyard feel like another room. Instead of one bright floodlight, light the places you use and the things you want to see: the entertaining area, the path, the steps and a favourite tree. Here you'll find wall, path, spike and sensor lights from Calibo, CLA, Cougar, Eglo, Domus and Atom.
Four zones to light
- Living areaWall lights or downlights over the deck or patio, on a dimmer if you can.
- Paths and stepsLow path lights or step lights so everyone walks safely.
- FeaturesSpike lights aimed up a tree, a textured wall or a sculpture.
- SecurityA sensor light at the side gate and back door.
Questions we get asked
How do I light a garden without it looking like a car park?
Use lots of low, warm lights instead of a few bright ones. Aim them at things, not across the yard.
What colour temperature is best for gardens?
Warm white, around 2700K to 3000K, flatters plants, timber and stone.
Should garden lights be on a timer?
A timer or dusk sensor means the lights come on without anyone remembering. Your electrician can set it up.
