Light up your garden
Beautiful garden lighting can transform an outdoor space. Garden lighting works to create a magical environment which becomes more stunning as the sun sets. Carefully placed lights can highlight textures, guide pathways and draw attention to your garden’s most beautiful features, with soft, warm LEDs creating a cosy atmosphere. Beyond aesthetics, good lighting adds safety and encourages people to spend more time outdoors. Whether you prefer subtle illumination or dramatic contrasts, a well-designed lighting plan can make your garden look elegantly impressive.

It really depends on what you want garden lights for. Fairy lights add a touch of magic to your garden as they gently twinkle but if you are looking for path markers or accent lighting, you might be better with fluted stake lights. You should also consider whether you want solar or mains powered lights – solar lights are easy to install and take their energy from the sun but mains powered lights can be more powerful and consistent. LED lights are energy-efficient and are long-lasting and are available in various colours. Speak to our experts to find the best lights for you.
Lumens measure the brightness of a light. The higher the number of lumens, the brighter the light will appear.
10–50 lumens: Soft ambient lighting, ideal for pathways or decorative features
50–200 lumens: Suitable for general garden lighting, such as patios or borders
200+ lumens: Brighter security or task lighting, useful for entrances or darker areas
For most gardens, a mix works best, lower lumens for atmosphere and higher lumens where visibility and safety are important.
Some of our solar lights include an on/off switch. For the light to operate, the switch must be in the “on” position. However, the light will still charge whether the switch is on or off.
We recommend leaving the switch turned on, as the built-in sensor will automatically switch the light on at dusk and off in daylight while continuing to charge the battery.
During the spring and summer months, after a full day of sunlight, you can typically expect 6–8 hours of illumination.
At other times of the year, performance will vary depending on how much sunlight the solar panel receives throughout the day.
