Garden Lighting in Stourport On Severn (14)

The good news is that there are a wide range of different types of garden lighting available today. This means you can completely customise your outside space to fit your needs. Different types of garden lighting can help to create different atmospheres, designs and visual effects. The most common types of garden lighting include:

• Decking lights - Installed in your decking

• Wall lights - Fitted to any wall or fence

• Security lights - With motion sensors to put off thieves

• Solar lights - Charged during the day, solar lights use energy from the sun

• Post lights - Fitted to the floor of your garden

• String lights - Added to bushes, fences or pergolas

It's difficult to put an exact figure on how much garden lighting costs as the price will vary depending on factors such as:

• Type of lighting - Different types of lighting will be priced differently, for example, string lights will be more affordable than built in decking lighting

• Amount of lighting - The more lighting you add to your garden, the more you’ll pay

• Complexity of design - Complicated lighting designs require more materials and labour times. This will increase the garden lighting cost

• Making good - It’s important to factor in the cost of making good any areas where lighting has been installed

• Light brightness - Generally, brighter lights will be more expensive than soft lights

• Location - Labour prices vary depending on where your home is located in the UK

• Distance from home - Installing lighting further away from your home means additional cables are needed. This can increase the amount you pay

Garden lighting cost

Here are some average garden lighting costs:

• Outdoor lighting (low voltage) - £150 - £200 per project
• 10 LED light clusters in existing socket - £350 - £450 (per item + 65m of cable)
• Outdoor 230V fitting - £100 - £150 per project
• Outdoor security lighting - £150 - £200 per project
• Install 1 outdoor 30-watt security light - £150 - £200 per project
• Solar powered garden lights - £150 - £200 per project

This depends on the type of garden lighting you plan to install. Many solar lights come with posts that can be easily pushed into the ground and need no wiring. String lights on the other hand require attachments to hold them in place and may need to be plugged into an outdoor socket (although many are battery powered).

For more permanent lighting such as decking lighting or post lighting, we’d strongly recommend this is installed by a professional.
