Create a beautiful display in your garden this spring with some stunning outdoor lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can make your outdoor space look pretty, but it can also be used creatively to help to make a space look bigger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we answer some of the most frequently asked questions about outdoor lighting, and share some of our favourite options on the market right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How outdoor lighting works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor lighting uses various power sources to illuminate bulbs and this can be through mains electricity, batteries or solar power, which captures sunlight during the day to charge a battery which will then power your outdoor lights through the night.<\/p>

Outdoor lights are also used to withstand exposure to the elements, whilst often also having motion sensors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can help improve your security alongside the aesthetics of your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most modern lighting use low-voltage power for safety as well as cost-effectiveness. <\/p>

Can outdoor lighting be used indoors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor lighting can be used inside, should you wish, but indoor lights don’t tend to work very well outside, as they’re not weather proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor lights are robust and perfectly safe to use indoors – you just need to make sure they have the correct voltage, lighting type and UL rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where to install outdoor lighting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can install outdoor lighting across your garden space, use them to decorate your fence or garden boundaries, illuminate pathways, or to add some character to your trees or bushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of options available depending on the size of your garden and the look you are going for.<\/p>
