Autumn and Winter garden lighting is the only way residents of Aylesbury can continue to enjoy their garden in the dark, winter months.
Garden lighting utilises every inch of your outdoor space allowing you to enjoy your Aylesbury garden throughout the whole year.
Why is garden lighting important during the winter months?
Garden lighting can make navigating your garden in the winter months easier and less of a task. Illuminating pathways and other important areas will mean you feel comfortable using your garden during the darker evenings. You also view your garden a lot during the dark over Winter so it’s a plus if the lighting compliments your garden. So instead of looking out the kitchen window into pure darkness, add some feature lights to make the space more visually appealing. Garden lighting is just as much of a safety feature as well as a design one. A well-lit garden is very off putting to burglars possibly attempting access from behind.
What are the best outdoor lights for cold weather?
One word LED, well that’s three technically but you get the gist! LED bulbs demonstrate excellent performance in winter weather conditions. In contrast to alternative light bulb types, LED bulbs do not use heat or gases to generate light. Consequently, LED bulbs promptly illuminate in cold temperatures without delays. LEDs are also typically made using plastic rather than glass with is another plus in terms of safe outdoor use.
Can you leave outdoor lights outside in winter?
The short answer is yes. Most high-quality outdoor lighting should withstand cold temperatures and normal winter weather conditions. If you do happen to be tested with some extreme winter weather, it’s probably a good idea to just check that the bulbs haven’t cracked or shattered – although this would be very unlikely.
