5 Lighting the outdoors Your outside lights are as important as your inside lights. They set the tone for your home and can create a warm welcome. Consider matching your fi ttings with your garden furniture; for instance, if you have wrought iron furniture, choose wrought iron exterior lights. As with interior fi ttings; exterior lights are also available in families with matching pedestals, poles and chains. Remember that all outside lights must be fully waterproof, even if they are used under a covered veranda. Bulkheads are often used along an exterior wall. Consider using bulkheads with eyelids, which are more effi cient because the top half is covered so the light is refl ected down onto the ground and glare is reduced. Position bulkheads 5 to 10m apart Remember that your patio and garden are an extension of your home and should be lit accordingly. There are two basic areas of outdoor lighting that need to be considered: decorative lighting and security lighting. Decorative Lighting Coloured lights can create wonderful impact. Yellow lights are often chosen for outdoor lights because yellow is better at repelling insects than any other colour. Blue is also popular for feature lights because of its dramatic effect. Green also works well, depending on the colour scheme. There are hundreds of ways to light up your garden, but here are some key things to bear in mind: Make use of light and shadows to create depth. Do not try to light up the entire garden. Shadow creates intrigue and interest as much as light does. Silhouette plants with unusual leaf structure and illuminate a tree for stunning impact. Focus on specifi c features throughout the depth of the garden for instance a shrub at the back, a water feature half way across the garden, and a pretty fl owerbed at the front. You can link your pool and your garden lights to create a unifi ed look Light pathways to and from your pool (this is both decorative and functional) Light stairs, pathways, and any changes in levels Boldly light security weak points. Security Lighting When choosing security lights, remember to choose the right one for the right application. If you have security lights that need to be left on all night, ensure you select an energy saver. Another option is to use a QI halogen fl oodlight with a motion sensor never touch a halogen lamp with your fi ngers as this will shorten its lifespan, burn you or even explode. There are two type of security lighting: 1. Low-cost / Energy-saving lights Stay on all night, providing an instant deterrent for would-be intruders Ideal for illuminating key areas around the house or specifi c sections of the garden, especially security risks 136

6 Floodlights have different size beams for different effects you can achieve a wide but shallow spread of light, or narrow, penetrating coverage Use energy saver fl oodlights and save money on your lighting bill 2. Motion-sensor lights There are two types of motion-sensor fl oodlights: a. A sensor attached to a single fi tting that switches on the light when movement is detected b. A remote sensor attached to one or more fi ttings when movement is detected at one point, all the lights come on, which is ideal for an L-shaped building Motion sensors offer the benefi t of surprise to intruders Cost effective security option Can be installed into existing fi ttings If your motion-sensor keeps switching on because of pets, you may need to cover the bottom photocell to prevent it from detecting movement close to the ground It is important to position your motion-sensor correctly the higher you place it, the less distance you will cover, while a lower fl oodlight will give a broader coverage. Moveable motion-sensor lights A new range of intelligent security lights from eurolux addresses the issue of static security lighting by offering a moveable fl oodlight and alarm solution, with camera capability. An integrated motion detector, sensitive to both heat and motion, will focus a light beam on the spot where movement has been detected and transmit a wireless signal to a receiver which allows you to view that specifi c area via a handheld LCD monitor or a television screen. This literally means that once motion has been detected and the alarm been triggered, a person can see what caused the disturbance from a place of safety, without any risk to themselves. The fi tting makes use of infrared sensors that only detect heat and motion of substantial size and small creatures such as geckos, lizards and small birds should not trigger it. The range includes four security lights with differing features. Top of the range is the FS68, offering a 300W moving head fl oodlight, wireless alarm and a handheld LCD receiver, which relays the image of the attached camera to the receiver in real-time. The FS67 offers a similar fl oodlight and wireless alarm however instead of the handheld receiver it includes a four channel TV receiver, which means that up to four cameras can be installed around the premises, with the images being relayed to a particular TV set. Security experts say most properties have at least four areas that can be termed high risk and can benefi t from surveillance. Should your home, offi ce or factory fall into this category and you wish to install more than one moveable fl oodlight with camera capability, you can purchase the FS66 as an addition. The product features only the 300W moving head fl oodlight and wireless alarm. The FS65 security light is an entry level product with a wireless alarm and a 150W moving head fl oodlight. This particular product can typically be used in smaller, low risk areas. All four products in this range allow for a movement scope of 210º and it is recommended that they be installed by a qualifi ed electrician. 137
