Outdoor LED Lights; Brighten Up Your Garden

August 30, 2012 by admin

It is very easy to spruce up your home with lighting, decorating in general and even a touch of life; a plant here and there can make a huge difference to the way your home looks and feels, but what about your garden? The chances are that your garden is already pretty plant-heavy in many ways, so how can you actually go about adding a touch of, well, whatever to your garden?

Decorating might not be feasible either seeing as plants and trees are notoriously hard to paint, but beyond that, maybe the first option we considered might be of use? Outdoor lighting is by no means a new concept of course, but it does allow you a fair amount of scope where your garden is concerned and if you have so far managed to avoid thinking about outdoor LED lights, then here is a little guide to many options you can consider.

First up, outdoor LED lights and plants or trees. How does this grab you? Well, if you have never before considered this as an option, here are a few helpful pointers. See, an LED smothered tree can really give your garden an other-worldly feel and literally highlight certain areas of your garden or yard, however large or small it might be. Attaining this is also not as hard as you might have thought.

In order to attain this look, you might want to think about picking up outdoor LED lighting in rubber strips like these from LEDSupplies.co.uk pictured or on what is essentially rubber wire as this can allow you to intertwine the LED’s, in whatever colour you see fit of course, wherever you want. Scope and colour is very important where outdoor LED lights are concerned and we would always ensure that you pick up the kind of LED lighting which is easy to manipulate and place exactly where you require it to be. With these rubber strips, you certainly go a long way to ensuring that your garden looks exactly how you want it to. These Multicolour led strip lights examples are a terrific way too style any garden up…

In terms of colour, it might be handy to think about the kind of effect you are looking for. Whilst it cannot and should not be denied that outdoor LED lights have the potential to really add a new dimension to your yard or garden, it is also worth noting that some colours might seem a little, well, intense compared to others and in a small space in particular, do you really want an odd red glow to be emanating from your garden?

It might after all come across a little festive, and not necessarily in a good way. This is why thinking a little about the features of your garden and the spots you are looking to highlight is very handy before taking the leap of actually deciding on a colour or theme. Blue is a popular choice where outdoor LED garden lights like these from LED supplies are concerned and it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to you to learn this either as, essentially, they are not only designed to withstand the worst of the UK weather conditions, but will also add some very pleasing tones and shades to your garden.

Be sure to stay in tune with all kinds of LED innovations on the LED Supplies blog where we found some of the info for this post…
