Highest Quality Garden Lights In Australia

This question takes more than a couple sentences to answer, and that’s why I wrote a detailed and helpful guide for you on how to design your garden lighting.

One of the important points I cover in that guide is I walk you through the process I go through when designing garden light layouts for customers. You can find that guide on this page.

There are hanging garden lights with a chain attached to them (we have these lights), making it easy to hang the light. Use a snap hook to ensure the chain doesn’t slip undone.

If you have nothing to hang a light from, install a small-diameter wooden post into your garden, attach an L-shaped bracket, and then hang a light from the bracket.

You can hang garden lights from trees or fences. If you hang garden lights from fences, you might need to hang the garden light using an L-shaped bracket attached to the fence because you don’t want your hanging light to smash into the fence.

Another way to hang lights is to use cable wire.

The best garden lights to buy are those with replaceable bulbs because you can replace them if they stop working. This is important because if you can’t replace the light part, you must throw the whole garden light out.

With our garden light range, the bulbs are replaceable LED bulbs.

The best garden lights are 24V low voltage because you can run 24V over greater distances than 12V. The smaller the voltage, the bigger gauge cable you require to run your garden lights.

We give you a Lifetime warranty with the lamp body on our garden light range.

Because low voltage is safe, you don’t need to be an electrician to set up low voltage lighting. Low voltage cable doesn’t need to get buried deep like 240V. You can dig a shallow trench or leave the cable on the surface.

First, you need to look at what size the transformer is. It will have this written on it. You’re looking for maybe 60 watts, 100 watts, etc. Then, to work out how many lights can run off a transformer, the sum you use is:

Watts of each garden light x the total number of lights you have.

For example, you’ve got 8 x 3Watt garden lights and 5 x 7Watt garden lights.

8 x 3Watts = 24Watts
5 x 7Watts = 35Watts
Total Watts: 59Watts
Total Lights: 13

This tells us that the transformer to run these lights needs to be 80 watts or bigger.

Going off the above example of 59 watts in total. If your transformer were 60 watts, that would be too small. You could not run 13 lights at 59 watts on a 60 watts transformer.

You should reduce the number of lights so the total watts drops back by at least 6.

It would be best to have high-quality garden lights, the right gauge cable, joiners, and a transformer to install your garden lights. The investment can be anywhere from $300 to a few thousand, depending on how many lights are required in your garden.

To get a garden lighting specialist to install your lights, anywhere from $65+ an hour.

Cheap lights cost more to install because, by the time you’ve had to replace them a number of times, the cost adds up quickly.

To fix garden lights that aren’t working, check the wire connections, ensure they look good, check for any corrosion, and that water hasn’t entered the join.

If none of your lights work, check the transformer to ensure it still works.

If you have LED garden lights, with most of these, you can’t replace the LED board, so the whole thing gets thrown out.

Put a new bulb in if you have one of our garden lights.

When you’re looking to place garden lights, ask yourself this question.

Where do I spend most of my time, and what do I see? Because that’s what you’ll want to make sure you light.

Another thing you’re looking at is whether one thing has multiple viewing angles. For example, you’ve got a tree, and you view that tree from your BBQ area. And you can also view that tree from your kitchen window. That’s two viewing angles on the same tree. So, you want two lights on that tree to see it from both angles.
