Deciding on the placement of your brand-new outdoor lights is one of the main concerns for people when redecorating their garden, especially when you have never done any decorative work with lights before.
Outdoor lighting is a great way to illuminate your garden and can accentuate the edges and key features of your garden for a perfectly regular price.
Throughout this blog, we are going to be outlining some of our favourite ideas for where you should place your outdoor lights to add an air of elegant ambience and will specify which types of lights will work for each purpose.
Outdoor LED Lighting
There are so many different options for you to consider when you’re thinking about adding lights to your garden, such as what types of lights you like to use. Where do you plan on putting them?
Most outdoor lamps can either be battery-powered or solar-powered giving them immense versatility and therefore plenty of different places where you can use them efficiently and effectively.
Depending on the types of LED bulbs you have at your disposal, you will be able to utilise them in different ways. Below, we have listed some of the different types of garden lighting and the best places in which you will be able to use them.
From an outdoor post light to an LED outdoor spotlight, there is so much for you to consider when placing LED lighting outdoors.
Fairy Lights
Fairy lights are some of the most perfect lights that you can use for your garden because they can be deployed in so many different ways!
One of the main uses for fairy lights traditionally is to line them along the edges of your garden, this is a great way to show off your beautiful garden furniture.
This can be great for hosting a garden party or maybe even a dinner party where you can show off your brand-new lights in your luxurious garden.
While perfect for outdoor placements, fairy lights can also be utilised brilliantly indoors as well since they’re able to be used to outline your ceiling, kitchen counters or just about any room in the house.
Spotlights
One of the best lighting options for both indoor and outdoor uses is a spotlight. These are great assets to have for garden lighting as they provide an ample amount of light to whichever area of your garden you choose to point them at.
As far as our recommendations go, we would suggest that you use your outdoor spotlights facing any seating areas that you may have to ensure that they are well-lit.
However, if you find that this is too bright, you can always place it further away or face it in another direction, ensuring that your seating area is still illuminated.
Wall Lights
Outdoor wall lights are fitted to an outdoor wall used to light up small sections of your garden, more specifically the sections nearest your house due to their restricted placement options.
Despite this restriction, these lights are still some of the most stylish that money can buy and would be a great addition to your outdoor decor.
These LED wall lights are usually integrated into the mains and are to be operated by a switch and will therefore not need to be battery-operated, unlike many fairy lights. Check out this blog about mains powered vs battery-operated garden lights.
Another type of wall light, however, will allow you to place them low to the ground to illuminate the path through which you are walking.
Most commonly seen in holiday resorts in the evening time, these deliver a beautifully soft glow to the walkways in your home gardens too! They’re perfect for just about any type of garden.
The important thing to note for these lights is that you should place them a short distance from the ground, perhaps on some sort of low wall, and can ever be used to illuminate the edges of your entire garden just like fairy lights can.
It is very important to not make these lights too bright as this can be very damaging to the desired aesthetic or atmosphere of your garden.
Motion Sensor Lights
These types of lights are slightly more versatile than wall lights as they can be used in the front and back of your house without looking out of place.
Motion sensor lights can also provide some security benefits to your home too, especially when used in your front yard as it actively discourages burglars from approaching your house as it will draw attention to them, in turn, turning them away.
These are great lighting options as you look to brighten up your outdoor spaces and eliminate the need for out-of-place light switches around your home.
LED lights are already incredibly energy efficient but pairing them with motion-sensing technology can bring the life span of the bulbs even more.
Also, this provides great benefits for the energy of batteries should you choose to use battery-powered motion-sensing lights.
Conclusion
To conclude, there are many ways in which you can utilise outdoor LED garden lights and there are many kinds for you to choose from.
From wall lights to motion sensors, you have so many options and each has its share of great places in which they can be deployed.
We hope that we have been able to provide you with a comprehensive list of the different places in which you can place brand-new outdoor lighting rigs and which lights will work best in each location.
