The
Different Ways to Light Your Pond
You can take
advantage of the many different lighting
solutions available today to beautifully
“illuminate” your pond and the area surrounding
it.
Tiki torches’
lining the pathway to your pond creates a
tropical look and feel to it. These also serve
the function of providing light so that you and
your family can walk about this area without the
fear of tripping over something at night. Pest
control companies manufacture torches containing
mosquito and bug repellent in them so they not
only provide some light, you have the added
bonus of protection from pesky insects.
Installing submerged lighting inside your pond
can beautifully illuminate the plants you have
in your pond and if you have fish in your pond
you will be able to watch their activity even at
night.
Water fountains can be equipped with lighting so
that you can be delighted with a nighttime water
display erupting from the center of your pond.
Consider flood lamps to highlight specific
aspects of your pond that you want to show-off
such as the unique design of your pond, or an
intriguing item such as a garden bridge
strategically placed in or near your pond among
other things you may wish to showcase about your
pond.
There are plenty of energy-wise solutions from
which to choose from for providing lighting in
and around your pond. Solar-powered lights are
one such solution, and although they do cost
more initially than other lighting, they pay for
themselves rather quickly in the amount of money
they save from appearing on your energy bills.
If you like the idea of energy-wise lighting but
worry that solar-powered lights may run low at
times: you can choose to put your lights on
timers set to run dusk to dawn for example and
save energy and costs that way.
Using a variety of lighting sources for your
pond and the area around it will offer you the
opportunity to view your pond in several
different ways, from every angle of your
wonderful pond. Lighting can “illuminate” your
pond in such a manner that it seems to almost
take on a new life from that which is seen
during the day.
Different lighting for your pond not only seems
to give it “new” life, it extends the hours in
which you can enjoy your pond. And isn’t that
worth a little effort in the choosing of
different lighting for your pond?
