As the weather begins to warm, many customers will be thinking about some garden improvements, including new lighting, to make their outdoor space more inviting during the summer. This means that many tradespeople will be receiving requests to help them – CEF has shared the best products to help you to get your clients the look and feel that they want, alongside ensuring that any installations are safe for years to come.
Minimal Lighting
For clients who are looking for a minimal look, strategically placed spotlights throughout their garden can be an effective way to create this look. This means that any areas which they want to focus on can be accentuated. The Knightsbridge 35W GU10 Spike Light (£30.60) is an excellent option to create this effect. Offering a generous spike length to ensure that the light is stuck in the ground securely, alongside interchangeable bulbs to offer a more sustainable option vs other brands which require an entirely new fitting.
Warm Lighting
For those who are looking for a slightly cosier look in their garden, a warm lighting option will fit the brief perfectly. The Fumagalli Marta 90 Colour Selectable Up/Down Wall Light (£47.94) allows them to select both warm or cool options, depending on the occasion. The casing is also UV ray stabilised as well as rust and corrosion free, ensuring that it withstands the unpredictable British weather.
LED Lighting
For clients concerned about cost and outdoor lighting increasing their electricity bill, LED products are by far the most cost effective option to recommend. The Xcite GU10 Up/Down Wall Light (£25.14) is a great option to recommend, not only due to it’s energy efficient usage but the aluminium casing which ensures that the product is long lasting.
We can’t forget protection for outdoor fittings – clients will want to ensure that these are hardwearing so they last for a long time requiring minimal upkeep and infrequent replacement. Some of our favourite options include the Wiska COMBI 407BK/3-221-41 PVC Adaptable Box (£8.70) which keeps any cabling safe and secure, but offers a detachable lid for easy maintenance. The Wiska Shark 525 Gel Insulated Joint (£74.34) also offers easy access for future repairs, which protection connections securely.
