Decorate Your Garden with a Pole Light Fixture


by DoItYourself Staff

A pole light fixture is a wonderful way to add light to your garden. It is decorative as well as functional and can be found in many local hardware stores including ace hardware. They are available to match existing landscape lighting and can be run on solar or electricity.

Different Fixtures

There are different pole light fixtures to choose from as well as the lighting options that they offer. Most pole lighting systems use a metal halide or high pressure sodium light as opposed to fluorescent light. These bulbs offer a clearer and brighter light. The fixtures themselves can have one light to five lights expanding out from the pole. They are available to match existing house or garden lighting choices.

Solar versus Electric

Pole lights function best run on electricity, if you are using your pole light as an accent light than solar power will be fine. The current models do not offer enough power for the pole light to be bright enough for an extended amount of time. New lights are being created all the time so keep your eyes out for new solar models.

A pole light fixture can serve as an accent light or to light a path in your garden area. Choose a good quality pole that compliments the garden surrounding it.
