To have your garden properly and beautifully illuminated with LED lights is a necessity and a pleasure at the same time. If you have a proper LED lighting set up in your backyard, the place can become an integral part of your life after sunset too for parties, talks with friends or family gatherings. A proper illumination can also make your whole place safer: keeping your house illuminated on the outside can protect it from intruders. This does not necessarily mean you have to run your lights all night long, but attached to a movement sensor, they will turn on whenever something is going on outside.

The most frequent reason for using outdoor LED illumination is, however, decoration. To have a beautifully illuminated garden while you are outside is not just useful in finding your way but also creates a unique atmosphere. The best solution for decorating your garden with lights is definitely LED lights. The obvious reason is that they are highly energy saving. At the same time this feature of LED lights does not only mean the advantage of using less energy to run your lights if they are connected to your mains or battery, but also draws in a couple of further advantages in installation and operation as well.

LED lights consume so little energy compared to traditional forms of lighting that you can operate them with solar energy as well. Garden LED lights are available with attached solar panels, so they operate as a compact light and all you need to do is find a relatively sunny place to operate them. Installation is extremely easy, since you will not need any wires to run the lights. Alternatively, you can run these lights from small batteries, which is another compact solution for places which are rather shady. With these solutions, having these garden LED lights in your home will not mean an additional cost, your energy bills will not rise, yet you have a beautifully illuminated garden, which is cheap to run and require minimum maintenance. LED lights also have a lifespan much longer than traditional lights, so with rechargeable or renewable sources of energy, you will be able to use them for several years to come.

Another additional advantage of LEDs deriving from low energy cost is their low voltage and cool running. Both these functions can be crucial if you have kids or pets running around the lights, since they are safe to touch and harmless. This is definitely a great feature of LEDs in general, but in a garden, where lights are literally within reach of kids and pets, it is even more important.

LED lights also provide different modes of lighting too. First of all, their light can be very bright but soft as well. They are also available in a large variety of colours. With RGB technology, colour-changing LEDs are also available, giving you a wider spectrum of decorating your home and garden. LED strip lights are available in submersible, waterproof version, with which you can decorate your pond as well. The limit is only your imagination.
