Perched on the hillside of Springfield in South Australia, this modern crafted home is certainly hard to miss. The surrounding landscape is boldly dominated by the exterior use of exposed concrete and natural stone. Stepping through the gates, an instant feeling of intrigue entices you. Our Luna Flex Mini Strip lighting effortlessly illuminates the staircases, and well balanced landscape lighting guides you into this architectural wonder. 
 Taking you further into the heart of the home you are greeted by the floating EcoSmart fireplace that accentuates the relaxed atmosphere and connects you to many adjoining spaces. To the left the Kitchen takes advantage of our LED strip lighting, recessed Titanium downlights and the reflected light from the Madrid wall lights. To the right you are exposed to the rich timber detailing of the Living room that is accented by our Unios Titanium Surface Mounted Downlights. The protruding black cannisters reduce unwanted glare and add to the architectural statement of this room.  Set a short distance away, the outdoor room takes on the breathtaking views of the Adelaide skyline complete with a well equipped outdoor kitchen and luxurious in-ground pool. The surrounding landscape is simple so not to draw away from the main attraction, and our surface mounted downlights can be controlled easily for ambience via the Casambi Bluetooth mesh system. It really is a home to immerse yourself in and enjoy the many aspects that it has to offer.

When it comes to lighting your garden you really don't want to see the light if you can help it. But when you do see it, you want it to compliment the style of your surroundings, offer a good amount of light and not cause any glare that creates discomfort. Upon listening to our clients we are super excited to announce our newest range of garden lighting that really focuses on these key elements. BANKSEY- Spike LightDriven by our ambition for something extraordinary, we designed the Banksey with versatility in mind. This unique slimline spike spotlight can be directed laterally to provide a beautiful wide wash over low plantings or pathways. Alternatively tilt the hood up to illuminate walls or hedging with the upmost grace. The discreet nature and earthy bronze finish has made it a new favourite amongst landscapers and designers alike. Made from brass, this fitting will age elegantly over time providing excellent light control and ensuring a beautiful ambience without the glare. SAFFIRE - Step LightOur beautifully designed Saffire Step Light is smaller than a credit card! Its compact size has been cleverly crafted to withstand the elements and enhance its surrounds. The elegant curves and slim profile create a timeless style, whilst the efficient 1W LED hides neatly away to prevent any glare. The unique central panel discreetly hides all the mounting and connection points, resulting in the ideal luminaire for steps, low walls, pillars, or entry gates. Perfect lighting for inside or outside. FLORENCE - Festoon Lighting Capturing the romance and magic that decorative lighting can bring to a space, our Florence festoon lighting sets the scene with a gentle golden warm white glow. Perfect for permanent exterior installations in commercial or residential settings, the 10 metre cable lengths can be easily cut down or connected together to form longer runs. 1W globes are spaced every 50cm, specifically designed in clear polycarbonate for safety. The Florence is popular for use in public spaces, cafes, pubs, wineries, and residential entertaining areas. To offer our clients complete piece of mind we also offer custom festoon globe spacing and lengths - available upon request for large orders. STIK - Path LightSimple elegant lines with the benefit of an adjustable head makes our Stik Path Light a gorgeous addition into any landscaped garden. The natural warmth of copper and brass will age gracefully over time to blend into its surrounds. It is best positioned along pathways, driveways and alongside steps.    SPARKKLE- Outdoor PendantLike the magic of a clear starry night, the Sparkkle Outdoor Pendant will enchant your garden with a firefly-like illumination. The dedicated warm white LED will ensure that you won’t be changing over globes from a hard-to-reach location. The black powder-coated finish will blend effortlessly into its surrounds. Suspend your pendant from tree branches or outdoor structures and allow this feature to add ambience and a little Sparkkle to your garden.  by

Looking for a modern, eco-friendly heating solution that will warm your home this winter? Look no further than our range of EcoSmart, Icon & Cocoon fire places suitable for indoors and outdoors fuelled by bioethanol fuel. NO flue, NO Chimney, NO electrician required What is Bioethanol?Bioethanol is like Methylated Spirits, it's a plant based renewable energy fuel created by the fermentation of plant by-products like sugar cane, potatoes, bananas and grain. It is classed as easily biodegradable and when it burns the residual emission is carbon dioxide and water steam which is absorbed by plants. Today, bioethanol has many uses including the transport industry and manufacturing, and in our fires it creates a beautiful clean dancing flame.
Best SellersStix - Effortlessly set up and easily repositioned, its bright flame will keep you captivated as well as comfortable for up to 8 hours. Sturdily constructed from stainless steel, Stix is set to be a head-turner on patios and pergolas around the world. Lighthouse - As the name conjures up, EcoSmart’s Lighthouse Series provides a clear and mesmerising light – perfect for illuminating outdoor areas and providing a stunning focal point for any alfresco location. Aspect - A contemporary fireplace for apartments, houses, offices, bars and restaurants, the Aspect makes an urban design statement and lifts the ambience of any interior. Versatility is paramount, and as a portable, freestanding piece of furniture the Aspect is a popular and well-proven choice for any location. Mix Fire Bowl - Blending the simplicity of an outdoor fire pit with classic contemporary luxury, EcoSmart Fires’ MIX Fire Bowls add instant life to any architectural environment. Frequently Asked Questions...Questions & Answers courtesy of EcoSmart Fires website Are they easy to install?
EcoSmart™ Fires are designed to be easy to operate and easy to install. Without the need for a flue or pipe connection, EcoSmart™ Fires are extremely flexible and can be incorporated at any stage of your interior decorating, renovating or building works. For detailed specifications please contact your local distributor. Where can I buy the fuel from? We sell the E-NRG recommended fuel at LED Outdoor in Adelaide How much does it cost to run? The cost of 1 litre of Bio Ethanol varies depending on place and quantity of purchase. On average you look at AU $3.85* per litre so if you are running your fire on medium and on 2 litres, this is a cost equivalent to having a couple of cappuccinos each evening! (*Price subject to change) Does the bioethanol smell? Bio ethanol has substances added to it in order for it to be labeled de-natured. The burning of these substances may cause a slight smell upon initial lighting and will dissipate with time. There is also a slight smell once the flame is extinguished – similar to when you blow out a candle. The smell will soon dissipate into the air. How long will it burn for? In general 5 Litres of Bio Ethanol would last from 7 hours on MAX and up to 20 hours on MIN setting. Can I use my existing fireplace? The Burner & Renovator Range can be installed once the flue has been closed off and all connections to utilities have been officially disconnected by the relevant suppliers. It is also important that the connections have been isolated & comply with minimum clearance zones. by

 Today I was inspired by a quote from Jamie Durie which said that you should create spaces in your garden that are like "people pockets", inviting spaces where people want to spend time. He suggests creating seating areas that encourage visitors to linger outdoors, hugged by plants. I love this idea, my dad is a very keen gardener and has a wonderful garden up in the Adelaide hills in which he has created this type of concept and it really does make you want to see what's going on and be outdoors. Outdoor lighting is also about drawing people into the garden and making it a welcoming and inviting space in which you want to be a part of. Meandering paths lit by washes of light that guide you gently along offer tranquility and a sense of security. Up lit trees in a garden produce some of the most amazing focal points and add height which makes a space feel larger. Low washing step lights along retaining walls or walkways create a flow of energy and direction, all of which combined make up a wonderful and very liveable outdoor space for you to enjoy year round.   Check out our gallery page for inspiration on how to incorporate lighting into your garden. There's nothing like sitting in your own private garden, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the wonder and beauty of nature around you. Its good for your mind, body and spirit, so add a little light into your garden and live life outdoors!

 Lighting Palm TreesPalm Trees often make a natural focal point to any garden. Their height, textured trunks and wide leaves can be effectively up lit using our LED garden spikes or inground uplights to produce dramatic effects that draw your eye in their direction. We prefer to use our Lotus 5W LED spike light or the Willow 11.5W LED spike light, depending on the height and intensity required, positioned reasonably close to the tree trunk. The spike feature offers flexibility to reposition the light to get the perfect effect, whereas the inground lights offer greater security when used in public spaces. Nature has already created the beauty so we would always recommend using Warm White LED light to enhance plants, but if it's eye popping colour your after then we also have our RGB (colour changing) lights for all you crazy cats. Lighting Gum TreesThe Australian Gum with all its twisted and rugged beauty can often be incredibly gorgeous when lit up. No two trees are the same, its like every Gum Tree has its own personality and when we light them with our spike lights they truely come to life. To get a good show from your Gum Tree we recommend using our Willow 11.5W LED spike lights, sometimes a few lights are needed to capture the size and angles of the tree. For the really big beauties of 20+ metres in height we have our Karri 20W Spotlight which is sure to make an impressive impact. If you feel more comfortable seeing these lights for yourself talk to us about arranging some samples. 
Lighting Dragon Trees Architectural in design, these Dragon Trees create striking focal points in minimalistic styled gardens that just crave to be up lit. Just look at the lovely shadows that are produced when they are lit next to a wall, it all adds to the drama and texture in a well designed landscape. We recommend using our Lotus 5W LED spike light for instant impact. Lighting PittosporumVery popular in many gardens these days as a hedging plant, Pittosporums are great at allowing light to penetrate easily through the leaves to create a gentle wash over the majority of the plant. Our little Firefly 3W spike light is perfect for doing the job as they are discreet and very energy efficient, whilst still providing a powerful punch. Ideally when highlighting hedging types of plants its important to leave about 100-150mm gap between the edge of the plants and any paving to allow the light fitting room to spread its light. This space can be still filled in with ground covers to finish off the garden and help hide the light source.
