Garden Post Top Lights Beauty with a Plain Name
Garden post top lights, and bollards too for that matter, sound so boring don’t they? The truth is though that, as well as defining pathways and drives, they can also be used to bring night time beauty to your landscape.
Whether you choose weathered effect Victorian globes and lanterns to top your pillars or sleek Scandinavian style stainless steel, by paying attention to the pools of light created and not just to highlighting hazards and trails, you can create stunning landscape effects.
The key to any successful garden lighting design is the position of the lamps it doesn’t matter if those lamps are lanterns, brick lights, lampposts, or wall lights, if they are not positioned properly, your scheme will fail.
Your post top lights can double up as feature lighting quite easily if you position them close to shrubs or architectural features just ensure that you don’t negate their function by hiding them in the shrubbery!
Post top lights are also superb for defining patio and decking edges; use LED lights and they’ll be safe around children too because they won’t get hot.
You know the difference between designers and ‘us’ is that designers think laterally; they don’t see a post top light and immediately think of its function. A designer will see a post top light and think about the effects that can be achieved using it.
Food for thought eh? The other thing designers do is translate thought into action, so the next step is to get the post top lights!
