There are many reasons to invest in some garden lighting. Proper illumination brings out the best in garden aesthetics and allows you to draw attention to certain features, pools, ponds or fountains. Motion sensors and path lighting are safety concerns; having a well-lit deck or balcony may be an issue of security. Although you may require a rather complex wiring system to protect against the elements, the versatility of this project is astounding and well-worth the effort and work. From fairylights and candle lanterns to portable solar lamps, LEDs connected to mains electricity, rechargeable battery lamps, low-voltages, accent lighting and spotlights of all hues and intensities, there’s something for everybody. You may find it beneficial to enlist professional help to advise you on what’s best for your garden in terms of space, weather and the mechanics of power source and maintenance. Backyard lighting fixtures may require quite a bit of research but are a fantastic way to both add personality to your home and increase the potential value of your property.
