Garden lighting is not really uncommon. Apart from the flowers, plants, trees and water fountain that make your gardens beautiful, these lights are actually the life of the garden at night and they are all characterized according to their functionality and use.

Consumers must be wise enough to purchase lights that are appropriate to where it should be placed. One wouldn’t want to place solar deck lights on their garden pathways. This would look inappropriate albeit ridiculous to those who get to view your garden.

With regards to proper placement, garden lights are manufactured according to its nature. Garden pathway lights are usually short erected lights that are bright enough to highlight your cobblestones and bricks that pave the garden paths. For gardens featuring trees, there are hanging outdoor lights that are just right to show their beauty. There are also lights appropriate for rocks in the garden. They range from small colorful bulbs to large enough flood lights that will illuminate your rock assembly. There are also string lights available that can be placed along the branches of trees to emphasize its height. For added decorative purpose, there are also ground stake lights that you can place along the corner of your garden walls. Garden gazebos can even be highlighted using garden step lights. Water fountains can also display its beautiful cascading water flow using special spotlights directed to it. For gardens with themes, the oriental inspired set-up can make use of tiki lamps and torch-like garden lighting. For Japanese themes, there are globe lanterns that are very appropriate to use.

Beautiful gardens are illuminated with not just beautiful lights but appropriate ones. One should know which part of the garden should be given special attention and thus a brighter light and which one should just exude subtle ambiance and thus dimmer and more relaxed light.
