Spring to Life!
The days are getting longer, Spring is in the air and the daffodils, crocuses and blossom are starting to flower. Once again relaxing evenings in the garden seem to be almost upon us.
With the clearing up of dead leaves the time has come to make sure that all your garden lighting, which was shining through branches unhindered by foliage and creating stark shadows and patterns, is now in the right position once again to create a magical space for the summer.

Long term use of a lighting system requires it to adapt with the changing of the seasons.

Uplighters may need to be re-positioned to optimise the effect that will enhance your bushes, foliage and blossom in the coming months.

It will be necessary to check lamps to see if they need changing before you have to struggle with dense foliage.
Sparkling fairy lights strung along winter branches must be checked to make sure they are secure, as they will be difficult to adjust once the leaves and blossom become abundant.

Security lighting acts as a deterrent and gives the feeling of protection so make sure it is not covered with new growth or dead leaves. If set on a timer ensure it is corrected to work only in darkened hours or consider attaching a photocell to your lights so that they only operate from dusk to dawn. Another great way to save on energy!

Look forward to the summer knowing that your garden will provide the perfect backdrop to al fresco evenings and barbeques.
