"Find Outdoor Lighting To Suit You"

Gone are the days when outdoor lighting meant cables and weatherproof plugs. Now we can buy solar powered lights for the garden, that will light your way until 3 a.m. - no problem! Garden candles have taken on the challenge beautifully and many are extra-long-lasting, and have the added bonus of aromatic scents to put you in a mellow mood and deter insects.

There's a page of beautiful outdoor candles at CandleBay

Oil lamps are a great form of garden lighting - slightly more stable than candles, but with all the benefits. Mosquitoes hate oil lamps! Humans love them! The new design oil lamps, based of course on traditional designs, can be decorative and nostalgic additions to your outdoor setting.

Positioning - Be imaginative and use your lamps to highlight features in your garden. If you have a water feature, position your lamp or solar light to illuminate the water at night. It's an awesome experience.. :-)

Environment-and-wallet-friendly!
With technology working at it's best, you can now light your garden all evening using no power, and no cash!

Simply let the light charge up during daylight hours, then turn it on to light your way during the night.

The first solar lights we tried were never up to expectations, but as technology improves, so do these wonderful alternative power additions to our homes and gardens - Glow with the 'feeling good about my planet' buzz!

And just look at the different designs available!

US Supplier - This stylish lighting system is available at Jackson & Perkins (outdoor lighting)

US supplier- Traditional designs at Gardeners Supply Co (click on solar solutions)


UK Suppliers: This is one of the classic outdoor lights available at Outdoor Lighting at Crocus UK - Type 'outdoor lighting' ( without the quotations )into the search box on their homepage - by far the quickest way of finding these beautiful lights!

Using candles, oil lamps or solar lighting is inexpensive and 200% better than power cables trailing over the lawn, under the table and tripping unsuspecting party guests. AND you're doing your bit for the environment :-)

Have Fun!
