How to Light Up Your Life

Posted: 27 November 2015



Modern Exterior Lighting

Whether your a business or home owner, having exterior lighting is an integral part of the design and asthetics of your exterior living space. By using your outdoor space wisely and implementing exterior lighting you can create an attractive outdoor ambiance, helping to set the mood regardless of the season or time; ideal for the entertainment of guests, friends and family. So if you're thinking of making changes to your home exterior, consider the multiple lighting options you have available to you.

Modern / Traditional Wall Lighting

Now we know how hard it can be when it comes to the planning and desgin of a project. Cost, functionality and design are crucial. So whether you decide to go forwards with a traditional or modern style we always think wall lights are a good idea. Why? Well if you look at the majority of homes with gardens, or businesses with external eating and drinking areas, the majority of them have a wall. In alot of instances people have forgotten about the wall because it's either there to provide privacy or structural support. So it becomes a redundant design aspect. Increase the potential of outdoor space by implementing wall mounted lights. Whether you align them in a pattern or simply present them in a linear form, they will help to illuminate the area, while creating focal points on what is potentially unused space.

Take a look at the Elgo Tronto Wall Light. This modern wall light adds a touch of class even against a standard red brick wall it makes for a work of art. Well it's definitely better than looking at a blank wall!

Or the Elgo Classic Outdoor Wall Light: This idyllic traditional styled wall light is easy to match with any traditional styled brick or coloured monotones. It helps to create a traditional and decorative outdoor ambiance.

Soffets & Facias


If you're rocking a low hanging soffet or extended porch don't leave it out of your plans. It's quite rare to see within traditional themed homes as it's not something that would have been prevelant throughout interior design in the last decade. But as trends are growing so are ideas. The ingenious 10 x Polaris LED multi-functional lights, have been designed for decking purposes, but in our opinion are completely multi-functional and are ideal for use within outdoor sofets. Their waterproof attributes and light ambient glow provide a natural looking area.

Decking Lighting


What's not to love about the vibrant effect you
get off decking lighting. If you're lucky enough to have a decking in your garden or thinking of building one then consider using decking
lighting. It is fantastic at providing a clear and illuminated walkway for users, helping to
protect against potential accidents while also creating a surreal awe about the place, almost bringing your decking to life. The Lights pictured below are twin LED deck lights - blue . They can be used in decking steps with a horizontal orientation or alternatively can be used in decking boards with vertical orientation.

Traditional Eglo Copper Wall Light


I haven't seen the rise of the colour copper when it comes to outdoor design and living in quite a time. We are starting to see the reincarnation of copper within home "interior" design where traditional styles are frequently incorporating
bold copper mirrors and various home accessories but as far as exterior lighting comes we havent seen much in the way of design. Regardless of that there's no harm in adding a colour splash to the garden. If you are thinking
of going with traditional themes why not incorporate the Elgo Minorco Outdoor Light?The bold copper colour is ideally suited to traditional settings.
