Garden lighting

Garden Lighting refers to the use of outdoor "light sources", which may be fire-based (in the form of torches and lamps) or electricity-based (in the form of light bulbs, neon lamps, etc.).

History

It is probable that gardens have been illuminated for as long as houses have been illuminated, by firelight and then by oil light. Each subsequent form of illumination has been used in gardens, including gas light in the nineteenth century and electric light in the twentieth century. Electricity remains the most popular form of garden lighting in the twenty-first century.Fact|date=February 2007 It is normally supplied from main power stations but there is a growing trend towards the use of solar power for garden lighting.

Indoor Lighting

High Intensity Discharge lamps include Metal Hallide, High Pressure Sodium, etc
