Just 30 minutes from the Adelaide CBD lies the historic and picturesque German township of Hahndorf. A popular tourism destination and home to some of South Australia's best loved wineries, Hahndorf expresses a rich history of quality and craftsmanship. The new Sidewood Estate cellar door and restaurant is no exception to this, as it has built up a remarkable reputation through its premium cider and wine ranges.  Connecting the landscapeContrast of light and dark plays a big part in stimulating our senses, and by combining a variety of our steps lights, garden spike lights, strip lighting, festoon lighting and bollard lighting we were able to produce a cohesive design that connected the surrounding landscaped gardens to the main building. The feature gum in the decked outdoor balcony has been wrapped in our commercial grade fairy light system called Twinkly. It can be controlled via a free app through any smart phone device to not only change colour, but custom design any pattern they wish. The black step lights mounted to each pole under the railing (picture below) are our own Saffire step lights. Simple and discreet they create quite an impact for only 1W. The stairs are illuminated by washing light out over the step, not up into your eyes. The Keo Horizon step lights do a great job of this, and are impact resistant meaning they could even be driven over! Our little Quartz hardscape lights show the way down the lush green croquet lawns, and our IP68 weatherproof Halo Strip Lighting is under mounted into the handrails at the entry to lead and welcome you to the estate. For a more romantic and fun vibe our own Florence Festoon lights can be seen draped across the back verandah, adding warmth and visual interest. Interior Lighting - Relax and stay a while Warm white lighting is a key element in softening a space to induce relaxation and comfort. Venues like cellar doors, wineries, restaurants, wedding venues and the likes are there to invite you in and encourage you to experience what they have to offer. Downlights are generally the go-to for many people, but as you can see from the photo's we've taken here at Sidewood, wall lights, pendant lights, recessed step lights and strip lighting all offer interest and ambience whilst also adding a sense of character and purpose. Utilising reflected lighting and fittings with lateral spread ensures balance and ambience. When working with exposed rafters or beams, track lighting offers a practical solution, especially for hospitality venues. The flexibility of being able to move fixtures, add on more lights and manipulate the angles of the lights really allows the space to adapt for various uses and functions. 
Let us know what your working on. Remember lighting really is worth taking the time to discuss with your architect or builder as it can change the whole feel to your new build. At LED Outdoor + Architectural we are here to help. From fixture selections to full lighting plan designs, our friendly and professional team are keen to make your space look the best it can.

Well done, you've made the effort to learn how to install your garden lights properly. It's not rocket science but it will take a bit of patience especially if you haven't done much soldering before. If you are unsure try and get someone who is confident to either show you or help you out. A good landscaper or qualified electrician may seem costly in the scheme of things at the beginning, but the pain it can cause you in the long run if water seeps in to your wiring will hurt your pocket more. Installation Guide Professional Low-Voltage Wiring Important Information Please follow instructions carefully. Failure to do so will void warranty. Please ensure installation complies with local law and applicable standards.
Required Equipment  - Soldering Iron or Butane Gas Torch - Hot-Air Gun or Butane Gas Torch - Solder - Wire Cutters - Heat shrink Tube(Resin Filled) - Heat shrink Caps - Scissors Installation Process STEP 1. Cut the feed cable where light it to be installed. Strip PVC insulation to expose copper strands.  STEP 2. Fan out strands then twist all the red cables together tightly followed by all the black cables, keeping the shoulders of the PVC insulation level.  Step 3 Using a butane gas torch (or soldering iron) - heat the twisted strands and apply enough solder to get right into the middle of the strands. Trim the end with wire cutters and be careful to remove sharp edges.  Step 4 Place shrink cap over the connection ensuring a third of its length is covering the cable insulation. Carefully apply heat using a blow torch or heat gun to seal the connection from moisture. Be careful not to burn the rubber - this process takes time and should not be rushed. The cap will collapse around the connection and you will notice black adhesive seep from the bottom when complete.  Step 5 Place glue lined heat shrink tubing over the whole connection. Ensure the tube covers the outer insulation of both the light fitting cable and the feed cable. Gently heat allowing the tube to collapse tightly around the connection leaving no gaps. With your pliers squeeze the end of the tube to seal and allow to cool.  |
