Garden Lighting

@Sandy Ground Is the book regarding reading or garden lights ...just making sure it's not me who's got it wrong

 

Its about lighting, and written by an academy award winning cinematographer.

 

@Sandy Ground I bet that's very helpful and have your lights come for you to sort them out?...the lights in our garden come spring pick up all the sun as it's a sun trap here front and back but hits the decking about 2pm

 

Theres no rush whatsoever for the lights. It will be at least another couple of months before I'll be able to get into the garden to put them in place.

 

@Sandy Ground I agree where that's concerned..I've hardly moved out the home all winter so fare, it's just to cold

 

Hello @Sandy Ground I brought some new solar batteries and got my hubby to remove them from the fence and the ground...washed the lot and put all new batteries in and Blackpool is alive in February

 

We've "over-kill" with lights in our garden. I would wouldn't I?
But we rarely turn them on. "The neighbours complain that the electrical load dims the street lights."
6 mains porch lights, two spot lights. 1 PIR spotlight. Two low voltage illuminated Japanese lanterns, two low voltage 30w spotlights, low voltage fairy lights and some solar lights. They are all controlled by four switches behind the lounge curtains. I laid a multi-core armoured cable from under the lounge, under the concrete raft of the patio to the garage before I knew what I was going to do with it.

There's no mains voltage supply to anything on the left-hand side of the garden. The transformers for the low voltage lights are screwed to the tea-house ceiling.

 

We're in Manchester, "so the problem rarely arises," as it's usually raining.

 

@ARMANDII you should pay a visit here then....plenty things to be seen in the night sky. I'm still wondering what the two lights that are due south of me are, and visible all year round when the sky is clear...

 

Dont be silly, it only rains once a year in Manchester. It starts June 1st., and ends May 31st...

 

Well I must say your property looks outstanding besides stunning ...now you wouldn't see me moan with that beauty...madness

We had electric to start with until me staffy when he was a live kept hitting them full force...so it's been solar lights since and we've just kept doing it, even though he's no longer with us

 

Your neighbours headlights?

 

@ARMANDII keep up the studying
