Are you planning new flower beds this year, or looking to rearrange or add to existing ones? Updating and adding new garden lights is the beautiful accent you need to complete your design. We’ll take a look at flower bed placement (which will then dictate your light placement), and then explore multiple options for lighting your beds. With beautiful garden lighting for flower beds from Best Pro Lighting, you can enjoy your flowers anytime.
You may have noticed that more people today are decorating their front and rear gardens with lights. They can be a source of pride, as part of the overall landscape plan. Lights can also help keep pathways visible to provide greater safety for yourself and guests who come up your walks at night. Plus, flower bed lights can highlight your outdoor floral arrangements, and also help you create new areas of interest that bring you additional outdoor enjoyment.
Perhaps you wish to add flower bed lights to your current garden, or go in an entirely different direction. Draw out on paper or a computer how you’d like your flower beds to be arranged. Consider circle beds, rectangular beds, and setting up flower beds along walls, near the house and following pathways. Before installing outdoor garden landscape lighting, prepare the area. Gravel or non-woven geotextile fabric works well for drainage. You can then add some quality soil enriched with compost, to give flowers a strong start.
Best Pro Lighting offers a full selection of low voltage outdoor flower bed lighting in multiple sizes and brightness levels to help you highlight your flower beds. One great choice is our Modern Bullet - BPL103 Low Voltage Landscape Lights. They beautifully highlight your flower beds with a warm 20W halogen glow. These flower bed lights feature a swiveling arm, so you can put the beam exactly where you want it. The deep glare shield helps you concentrate the beam to just the right area.
While you’re getting creative, you may wish to begin or re-do your pond lighting near your flower beds. Our Low Voltage Underwater Pond Light gives a warm glow to your pond, and you can add other garden lights nearby to accentuate flower beds, completing your pond’s welcoming appearance.
If you’re looking for a popular and beautiful pathway light to illuminate flower beds and accent areas near paths, we recommend Best Pro Lighting’s Low Voltage Landscape Light Mushroom - BPL301-Rust. These durable and aesthetically pleasing lights ensure pathways are well lit, while delivering the warm light you want to show off your garden plantings.
Best Pro Lighting is happy to answer your questions regarding installation of lights in flower beds. Use your flower bed arrangements design you previously made on paper or computer. Preliminarily mark where you would like to add your garden lights, and then run low-voltage cable to your fixtures. All that’s left to do is bury wires beneath mulch, and connect them to a transformer. You may wish to set up a timer, so your lights come on at dusk or other preset time.
What about spacing for your garden lights? Spotlights work well about a dozen feet apart. Your perfect alignment will depend on the lights’ size, how their beams spread and what effect you want. If you’re setting up path lights, 5–8 feet apart is recommended.
Every year is a new opportunity to start and add to your flower beds. What better way to show them off than with the best flower bed lights (including LED garden lights) from Best Pro Lighting? We encourage you to shop our online lighting selection and discover the beauty and functionality our lights offer.
