There are various kinds of outdoor garden lights.
  • The simplest would be some type of lantern with a tea light inside; these would only light up a small area but could be useful placed around a deck or on a dining table much like a candle.

  • Electrical outdoor garden lights are specially designed to work in all sorts of conditions including rain or snow. If you do use these you will need to be prepared to have long cords going back to the electrical supply.

  • These days there are an increasing number of solar outdoor garden lights available which have many advantages. They are cheap to run, as there are no energy costs involved, and environmentally friendly. There are also no hassles with wiring; they can be placed where you want them and can be rearranged at any time. However you will need to make sure that they are in a position where they get plenty of sun so that the built in solar panels can absorb energy from the sun and charge the batteries during daylight hours.


    Always choose low voltage outdoor garden lights which are more cost effective and give out a softer glow and please remember to position them so that they do not disturb your neighbors.
