Garden Looks
The favourites are dappled leaf patterns on a wall, a soft path guide, and a firefly-like effect in trees. IP-rated units handle dew and rain.
Because gardens are dim at night, modest power reads beautifully.
Garden Checklist
- IP65 for outdoor use.
- Warm or natural white.
- Tree and wall pattern gobos.
- Path guidance option.
- Battery for remote beds.
Garden Comparison
| Look | Unit | Power | Spot |

Dusk Timing
A timer switches the unit on at dusk so the garden is always lit for evening use. Aim at foliage and walls, not across seating.
Brightness for Gardens
Night gardens are dark; 50 W outdoors reads strongly, and battery units cover beds with no outlet.
Mistakes
- Non-weatherproof unit in dew.
- Cold light killing the calm.
- Beam across the patio.
- No timer for dusk.
