Lighting a garden for long evenings

Less is more. How to light paths, trees and terraces so the garden glows rather than glares.

Good garden lighting is barely noticed. It reveals texture, guides the way and makes a terrace feel welcoming after dark.

Light the plants, not the sky

Uplight a multi-stem tree or graze light across a stone wall. Keep fittings low and shielded.

Warm and dimmable

Choose warm white and plan separate circuits so you can set the mood for dinner or a late fire.
