Choosing The Right Night Lighting For A Garden

Many people are busy with their work during the day, so they get the time to relax in their garden only in the evening or night. They are also holding parties and other events in the garden,. Hence they are interested in finding suitable Garden night lighting which they can install in the garden. Most property owners would like to install lighting which is affordable, durable and requires less maintenance. There is a large variety of lighting available for gardens, so some of the main factors which should be considered while choosing the lighting are discussed below.

One of the factors which determines the choice of lighting is the size of the garden. If the garden is small in size, it is comparatively easier and safer to connect the lighting to the power supply in the house. The lighting can also be switched on manually. For larger gardens, wiring will be expensive and it may get damaged by mice and other pests. In these cases, it is advisable to use solar lamps for illuminating the garden. These lamps have a solar panel so that the battery is charged during the day. Depending on the type of solar lamps selected, the solar lamps will switch on automatically at night at a specific time or when it becomes dark.

The rating of the lamps for garden lighting will depend to a large extent on where the lamp will be located. Areas close to the entrance of the house are frequented by more people, so brighter lamps are required. Larger gardens often have pathways, and lower rating lamps are sufficient for illuminating these pathways at night. In addition to making it safer to use the garden at night, preventing accidents, the garden lighting can help prevent crime to some extent, since burglars are not likely to target homes or areas, with more people. It is advisable to check the night lighting periodically, replacing or repairing lamps which are damaged.
