IDEAS FOR GARDEN LIGHTING |
Garden Lighting Ideas:There is more to garden lighting than banging up a floodlight and fixing a few lights into your deck. Here are a few garden lighting ideas to inspire you... Day light, particularly in the middle of the day, is bright and covers everything in an even blanket of light. However at dawn or at sunset the low angle of the sun creates long shadows and sunlight peeks through these and at certain times seems to pick out some items more than others. This painting of light in the garden is something you should try to create in your garden in the evening. Certain features take on a different look when washed with light, and as the garden is always going through a yearly growing cycle some flexibility is required to change the point of interest at different times of the year. Spike lights are easy to move and provide the flexibility required picking out spring blossom, summer plants in flower or stark red stalks of dogwood in the winter. Fixed garden lighting can be used to accent texture and fixtures stone walls, hard landscaping and even fences benefit from lighting mounted at a close angle. Use garden uplights with care. Ensure that they do not cause discomfort through glare by using baffles or positioning them away from paths and hazards. Tip No.1 Put a lead on garden lights so you can try them in position before fixing them in place. Sometimes moving lights just a few centimetres can make a world of difference to the light effect gained. Tip No.2 Less is more! If your fixture can take a 100 watt lamp don’t assume this will give the best results try lower wattage lamps and you may see a more subtle light effect. Putting too much light into an area can make unlit areas look particularly dark and a balance is required. |
