So, here’s three different ways to light up your garden:
Fairy Lights
These solar powered Chinese LED fairy lights are from lights4fun.co.uk which is the same retailer I used for the net lights in our last house. They cost just £9 and they actually illuminate the area really well! I chose these because they’re quite large in size compared to just a little bulb on normal fairy lights and I wanted to make a bit of a feature out of the fencing behind. I think they do a pretty grand job! They’re better than I ever imagined and they’re actually really quite bright too! They illuminate the seating area much better than I anticipated and it’s good to be able to actually see in the dark now! These are probably my favourite purchase – plus the cheapest!
Stake Lights
LED Candles
I created this garden feature hanging wall earlier this month, but I was yet to show it off at night-time! These lights are LED solar powered candles from wayfair.co.uk. The lights actually flicker as if they were candles. I love the fire colour they produce and for a small little light, they’re pretty bright too! They come in a pack of 6 with a little docking station to charge upon. They’re actually intended for indoor use, so mustn’t leave them outside in the rain(!) but I think they’re fab for the garden! These were the most expensive option costing £28.
Of course it is worth noting that solar powered lights tend not to work in winter, so all these options are really just for the summer sunshine months. Lights4fun do offer a solar powered security light which claims to work even in winter so I may be back with another little visit again in a few months 😉
I would literally cover the entire garden in lanterns and fairy lights if I could. I have a real thing for the magical kind-of glow they bring. Do you have any lights lighting up your garden?
