A garden lighting installation allows you to extend the living space at your Hereford home by making your garden useable late into the evening.
Clever garden lighting design can create a cosy space for relaxing or transform the area into a vibrant setting for entertaining. Whatever your plans are for your garden, ElectricsFixed can help plan and design a garden lighting installation that makes your Hereford garden shine.
Garden Lighting Design
Your garden lighting should reflect your personal style and the options are seemingly endless. You can select from ultra-modern and sleek designs or more traditional or whimsical models. Your lighting can be bright and dramatic or soft and tranquil. A wide variety of bulb colour options are also available allowing you to fully customise your design. As experienced garden lighting installers, ElectricsFixed Hereford can help you create the perfect design for your garden. Our experienced electricians can talk you through the many options available and help you create a light-scape that is both beautiful and functional. To do this we will use a combination of different lighting options. Some of the garden lighting styles we may use include:
Functional Lighting
- Step Lights – Creating a safe path across your garden is essential if you plan on moving around after dark. Step lights highlight any hazards and are usually low profile and otherwise unobtrusive.
- Path Lighting – As the name suggests this kind of lighting is used to light the path across your garden and typically cast light in all directions. Whilst they are primarily functional lights, they can also be used to lead the eye to highlighted features and come in many different designs.
- Flood Lights – Providing a wide area of bright light, flood lights are perfect for lighting larger areas of your garden. They can be used to great effect on a patio or outdoor cooking area.
- Motion sensitive lighting – Primarily used as security lighting, motion activated lights can also be of great use when entertaining. They allow you to quickly light an area you need to access, such as a garage, without having it detract from the overall ambience you desire.
Decorative Lighting
- Low Level Lighting – Designed to create pools of light around your favourite plants, these are soft background lights that create a tranquil atmosphere.
- Fairy Lights – Use these strings of lights around your patio to soften the effect or use them in trees and shrubs to create interest.
- Spotlights - Often used to create dramatic effect in a garden by highlighting features. Particularly effective when lighting a statue or lone tree.
- Up/Downlights – These lights can be installed to great effect along a fence or boundary. Not only can they provide welcome path lighting, but they also create interesting effects amongst your plants.
