Now that Summer is here, many customers are thinking about adding ambient illumination to garden steps and small retaining walls or sleepers.

Above are three of our top sellers and showing the different type of light fittings suitable for these areas.

SURFACE MOUNTED 

If you don't want to make any cavities into your brickwork or the depth is too shallow then surface mounted step and brick lights are ideal.  The Vela has been a very popular fitting with us for several years.  It is 12v and using the G4 LED bulbs.  The cabling is also Plug & Play which means the fitting comes with a male 2 pin connection and can be connected directly to a Plug & Play transformer, extension cable or splitter.  This type of installation is very popular with customers who do not require electricians to do a garden installation for them.

Another popular fitting is the Duomina.  This fitting is 12v and also plug and play.  These are ideal for edges of patios and pathways as well as for walls and steps.  These fittings will provide a 180 degree fan of light from the two slots, therefore focusing the light where it is needed.
