Bilby Brass LED Path Light

Path Lighting creates a lovely ambience through a garden. Its not glary in your eyes, and leads the viewer through the garden as it washes over low planting and pathways. See how the back wall is washed with soft lighting too, this draws your eye all the way back opening up the space.

​

Is your dining room cluttered with mess? With a bit of lighting make your outdoor space the new place to eat. Uplighting onto plants gives a beautiful and inviting backdrop to any outdoor dining area.

​​Living in an apartment block doesn’t mean life has to be boring. In this North Adelaide complex the up-lit trees and under bench lighting creates a point of interest for all the residents to look out onto and enjoy. Why not join your fellow neighbour for happy hour in a relaxing communal space.

Multi-storey homes get great value from adding light into outdoor rooms as you get to enjoy the landscape from all the various vantage points. Washing light onto walls adds a feature in itself, whilst positioning lighting in each corner of the yard helps with the balance and flow of the space.

So as you can see by drawing your eye into your garden you create a whole new space that can be enjoyed indoors or out. Don't let the dark of night close you into your home, expand your living by creatively adding in some light and you'll wonder why you hadn't done it earlier.
