Philips Garden Light
The trend today is to bring the outdoors in and make it a part of our house. It should be a cosy, intimate space to rest and have a glass of wine after a difficult day at the office. The balcony or garden is also a space where you can have a romantic outdoor dinner with your partner, or where your children can go for a bit of peace and quiet. All this, while looking upon the peaceful beauty of nature, which is an essential addition to every home.
• Place weather proof lanterns around your outside area to give the place a more romantic feel.
• Create pools of light by lighting lower areas in your balcony and garden. One such way is to illuminate pot plant from the bottom up.
• The garden is exposed to harsh weather, so make sure that such lights are certified for outdoor use. Ask for lights that come with IP44 rating (Ingress Protection).
• Switches for most of the lights in your garden should be operated from indoors. This is for safety and convenience.
• Post lights installed at the top of gate posts and around the perimeter of your garden will help to illuminate the perimeter of your home.
ADDITIONAL TIP:
• Installing a small water feature with illumination is a perfect focal point for a balcony garden. The sound of streaming water will help to lull occupants into relaxation
