Get Gorgeous Garden Lighting!
As the habitual rain ceases for a month or two at least, summer brings with it not just bags of sunshine but a return to the outdoor lifestyle. Most gardens are neglected for much of the year but a quick mow of the lawn, introduction of comfortable furniture and the selection of appropriate lighting soon spruces up even the most mistreated of patio and outdoor areas.
Garden lighting is a quick and easy way to cast the lawn and its surrounds in a pretty, flattering light extending the hours you can enjoy the fresh air and British summer with family and friends. Lamps, lanterns and wall mounted lights strategically placed around seating areas mean the space can be used for alfresco dining after dark. Electric lighting can be combined with citronella candles to keep the bugs at bay.
Leading online supplier of lamps, bulbs and tubes, BLT Direct stocks an affordable range of programmable, colour changing garden torches. The brushed steel lamps are remote controlled, allowing the user to select programmed, fixed or changing colours.
“These lamps enhance subtle moods throughout the garden,” say BLT Direct. “They can be used to highlight specific architectural features and make the house more inviting to guests.”
Modern garden lighting can also be used for security purposes with spotlights on driveways, around garages and gateways to help deter intruders. Security lights can be linked to sensors so they only brighten upon movement within the area.
Whether you go for security lights, spotlights or garden torches, remember to use energy saving bulbs where possible to keep electricity costs low and do your bit to reduce environmental damage.

Saving The Earth Does Not Cost The Earth
Light bulbs may not get the column inches that high profile events such as Live Earth generate but they are one of the most accessible and effective ways to turn the tide of environmental damage. So if you’re struggling with your environmental conscience and are searching for ways to make a difference at home and in the office, consider energy saving light bulbs .
A quick and easy way to save masses of energy and reduce the cost of electricity bills, just one energy saving light bulb represents an 80% saving in running costs over traditional lightbulbs . Using an energy efficient bulb in the place of a standard light bulb reduces CO2 emissions and saves energy. In fact, if every household in the country fitted a single energy efficient bulb , the energy saved would be enough to light up Briton’s streetlights for a whole year.
Energy efficient bulbs are not just for ceiling lights and lamps. They have a whole range of uses, from replacing electricity hungry lights in kitchen cabinets and ovens to the tubes and lamps used for garden lighting and outdoor security.
Whatever its application, energy saving bulbs last twelve times longer than traditional light bulbs on average, meaning energy efficiency actually contributes to a healthier bank balance as well as to the global good.

Steven Ellwood, director of BLT Direct said: “Although the initial purchase price is often slightly higher, energy saving lamps offer great longer term savings. There is no need to replace like for like because lower wattages of energy efficient bulbs are used to replace older models. As the government introduces energy saving initiatives across the UK, energy saving light bulbs will become a vital part of our everyday lives.”
Energy saving bulbs can be bought in bulk for even greater savings and BLT Direct offer free postage and packaging on orders over £35.
