Garden Bollard/Post Lights

At Sparks, we distribute a wide range of lighting manufacturers, one of which is the renowned LEDS-C4 Spanish Lighting manufacturer, and in this article, we're introducing three of the most popular bollard lights made by them, ideal for outdoor lighting. A bollard light or simply a bollard is a sturdy, short, vertical post that has a light at the end of it or somewhere on its body. A bollard used to refer to the post on a ship or quay used principally for mooring boats, but now it mainly refers to posts that have lights, ideal for controlling road traffic or lighting up pathways. The LEDS-C4 bollard lights we distribute at Sparks are on a 3-4 week delivery, but if you take a look at their design, you will be impressed. These bollard lights from LEDS-C4 are part of the outdoor posts and bollards collection at Sparks.Invisible Outdoor Bollard Light by LEDS-C4The LEDS-C4 Invisible range is a landmark collection for its unique and functional design featuring pure and simple lines.

It's time to get out of the house and take care of the garden, now that the weather allows us.

We have recently stumbled upon this new range of outdoor lights from Astro Lighting, the Soprano Wall Lights and Bollards. They are distinct from other light fittings, coming in a rounded shape at both ends for the wall fittings and at the top only for the bollard. The Soprano wall lights for exterior use come in a silver or black finish, and they are low-energy solutions for both home and office use. Small in size and having a lovely inclination angle, these fittings offer downlights for the exterior. Due to their IP44 rating, they can also be considered as garden wall lights. Black or Silver Exterior Wall LightThe Soprano Wall Lights from Astro Lighting come in a silver or black finish - they call it, painted black / painted silver - and they incorporate a contemporary style. These particular fittings use a GX53 9W light bulb, which makes them energy-saving fittings. They not only offer discreet light and are earthed, but they help you save energy! Outdoor Wall Lights with PIR Part of the Soprano range of contemporary wall fittings there are two models which come with a PIR sensor integrated. This means that these particular fittings not only help you save energy but they also come on ONLY when the presence is detected in their radius of operation. Soprano Bollard Light Unfortunately, the bollard light in this range comes only in a black finish, but we hope they may come out with the silver version also soon. It is max. 485mm tall and has the same stylish features as the wall fittings, including the energy-saving properties. Note: do not confound the Astro Lighting Soprano outdoor lights with the Sopranos TV drama show ;) We are simply talking about a new range of outdoor fittings from Astro.Bollard Lights at Sparks

We can’t keep out of the garden in the hot weather, but when the winter comes around we barely acknowledge the existence of our outdoor space. The deckchairs and umbrellas are put away in the shed; even the plants look like they don’t want to be there. But surely when you do occasionally glance out into the place where you once would spend the majority of your day with pleasure, you have on occasion thought; what can I do to brighten up this dreary space? This sometimes depressing time of year can be the perfect time to talk about how you can quite literally brighten up your garden. Fairy Lights – Who said these sparkling icicles of brightness should be reserved only for the Christmas period? Fairy lights are a brilliant way to brighten up your garden as the night intrudes ever more into our evenings. Perhaps you could hang these along the side of your garden fence or around a tree, to make the most of the natural features. The use of garden lighting like this can be brilliant to accentuate features you are proud of, or simply to highlight the natural beauty that resides there. LED Up-lights – Sticking with the theme of garden lights, these LED lights are a great way to brighten up the garden. They can be used in either the front or back garden and are usually great for lighting up a patio or brightening up a walkway so any guests can see where they’re going in the dark. Being LED-based, they are also very energy efficient, and thus better for the environment than a traditional bulb. Patio Heater – Rather than braving the cold to appreciate the garden in the colder months, a patio heater could be the solution to keep you warm whilst outside. These are great for parties or just having a few friends over, alternatively you may want to utilize the facility to relax with a book in your garden and enjoy peace and quiet of your garden. Winter Cutting – As the winter months are now upon us, it’s important to make sure all hedges, trees and shrubs are cut back. Obviously, due to the temperature, this is not a job you may relish, but leaving it will make it harder to maintain in the future and leaves will drop and leave a mess over the winter period as they rot down. Cut all branches with sharp secateurs and remember to put all garden waste in a garden waste bin if you have one. Winter plants – If you do not show them enough attention, your flowerbeds could end up looking dull this winter, and although most flowers will struggle to cope with the cold climate, there are a selection of plants or shrubs which will add colour to your garden and survive the winter chill. These flowers include the Holly Bush, as the red berries will look great and carry a certain amount of festivity. Conifers are great for filling the garden and giving it a healthy look and finally a ‘Mahonia’ which is an evergreen shrub and should be planted between December and February, producing long fragrant yellow flowers.Walkover Lights at Sparks
