Water feature lights and pond lighting effects
Lighting in and around ponds creates a brand new dimension and attraction to the water garden. Normally for safety reasons these water feature pond lights are low voltage.

Water feature lights can be submerged in the pond or placed above the water surface to create immediate impact and variation.

Types of pond lights

You can have submerged coloured lights normally pointing up to the surface of the water. These could also be plain white light of course. Others focus the light down onto the bottom of the pond by creating a mushroom or umbrella effect. Still others float around the water feature surface encased in glass globes.

A very unique and effective garden light has been newly introduced into the UK and Europe. During the day this device is a highly realistic looking garden rock. At night the whole rock glows with diffused light creating a magical and enchanting effect. This garden feature product is marketed world wide by OASE of Germany

Japanese lanterns also create magical effects.
Solar lights are readily available these days and work on the basis that during the day the light's battery becomes charged. When dusk arrives the light switches on automatically and stays lit until the battery is discharged.
