Garden lighting can be surprisingly tricky to get right.
Most people get it wrong – too bright, too flat, or just in the wrong place.
In this video, we’ll show you how to avoid common mistakes and transform your outdoor space with smart lighting techniques.
We’ll break it down step by step, looking at the best ways to light:
🌳 Feature trees and planting
🚶 Walkways and garden paths
🧱 Walls, borders, and outdoor seating areas
Along the way, we’ll explore the ROBUS garden lighting range – including spike lights, wall washers, and path lights – and show you how to get the most out of each one.

Why do people light up their gardens. Waste of energy. When it goes dark it's dark. Accept it. If the light is functional for a walkway etc then fine. But lights for the sake of lights pisses me off.
Some nice ideas there Joe . Excellent work well done 👍
With anything coloured, using the same colour sometimes makes it glow eerily, especially with trees and foliage. Green on green make the tree appear to glow as if you hide the light source there is no green beam, the tree just seems to glow.
Many years ago my friend and I built a wall light on an extension in Harrogate, it was a sweetie jar, a lamp holder, a kitchen cabinet leg and an artificial arm, my friends' dad had spare. We assembled it and built it into the wall, and nobody would believe we made it ourselves, but his dad didn't have enough spare arms for us to make any more, so, as far as I know, it is still unique. The tungsten lightbulb we used lasted 8 years with constant use.
Monty Dons getting on a bit ?
Shouldn't you have installed the lighting after the rendering and not before?
The garden lighting scheme that delivers, if the one that ticks all the boxes for the customer. Not what you believe is right
Hudson lighting for garden lights
I was hoping to see how deep cables need to be buried, whether cables can be run along fences, if cables need to be armours, etc.
1:20 I suggest putting the ferrule on as normal (not backwards).
Then warming up the metal ferrule with a heat source until the plastic melts & sides off easy.
Pretty sure it's against Youtube TOS to have an entire video be an advert and not publicly announce it.
Looks nice but Robus are no better than other LED fittings . They don’t last
Or just get solar ones to save a load of hassle!
Still nothing PIR controlled to illuminate a path or drive or section thereof as you approach while saving on electricity & manual switching. Except of course those useless solar ones that are everywhere.
Phillips hue are good lights aswell, they add color , and have a few accessories which make them even better.
Oh my god he has sausage fingers..don't like. The ideas are ok
push in connectors are used with bare wire
Ip54 outside , not great
