Galvanised steel outdoor wall
lights offer exceptional
durability, making them ideal
for outdoor use. In years
gone by they may have
looked ‘industrial’, but since
so many fittings now feature a
silvery finish, they look fresh
and modern. It really is easy
to bring together a
contemporary look without
sacrificing money or
practicality.
Domes, rectangles, UFO
saucers, blunt pyramids and
top hats offer shades that
shield illumination and direct
light downwards. Traditional
lanterns, circular shades and
everything in between is
available in a range of sizes
from mini to medium, some
with PIR (motion sensor)
capability. Several designs
are flush mounted, but there
are also many others on
plates that protrude elegantly,
making them ideal near
signage, house names or door
numbers. Positioning them
effectively could allow you to
exploit the effects of shadows,
washes and silhouettes if you
so desired.
There’s more to light than
illumination outside. With a
little imagination it is possible
to make your lighting deliver
drama while still providing
security for your property.
Hexagonal, half moon, full
sun, cylindrical, domed and
hat topped designs can look
stunning as individual pieces
and even more spectacular
when arranged in pairs or
groups to create a themed
approach that will enhance
the exterior of a
property.
A garden can be a haven in
which you can relax and
already we’re facing the
nights getting shorter as we
have passed the summer
solstice. Make the most of it
while our evenings are still
dry and warm so that you can
reap the benefits of privacy
and fresh air after a hard
day’s work. |
