Garden Lighting

Garden lights are an excellent way to add a focus point in your garden after dark. You want to start with path lighting and area lighting to make sure you create an enjoyable outdoor living space in the evening. After the basics are covered think about that night time focal point. Up lighting a tree can create a very dramatic effect in your garden. Another good option is to light a pond or other water feature. You can either down light these or actually place submersible lights into the water feature itself for another dramatics effect.

Outdoor garden lighting can also be used to set a mood by using colored lights. You can find lights with changeable colored lenses so you aren't stuck with just one color when you purchase your lights. Changing the lights to match the seasons or holidays and other celebrations is a fun way to add to your garden party. You can even get colors to match your favorite college sports team when they are playing a big game.
