The green shoots of recovery...

It's over, the worst recession for 100 years is finally over. 

UK growth has finally recovered to the levels of 2008 and with more and more positive economic data being released on a weekly basis even the BBC are having to find another way to dish out bad news.

That said, the economic growth does seem to be quite London centric at the moment but over the coming months I think we can expect the growth to ripple across the country, people will begin to feel more affluent and more inclined to start investing money in their gardens.

It's time to make the jump from Halogen to LED lighting

You might have heard that halogen lighting is going to be phased out in the next few years and so everyone will need to switch across to LED lighting in gardens.

LED now provides everything you need from garden lighting - it is low heat, so no chance of a child burning themself by touching a light, the lamps are guaranteed to last for 100,000 hours, the light is now the same warm light that you are used to and LED is quicker and easier to fit than halogen.

However, if you’ve tried to buy LED, you’ll probably have found a chaotic mass of incompatible light fittings, confusing drivers and different power supplies – so how are you supposed to choose?

At Landscapeplus, we have stripped away all that complexity to provide you with exactly what you need, as a garden professional.

It’s so simple that you only have to make one main decision before choosing your fittings.

Our LED system is quicker and easier to install than halogen, the fittings are all compatible and best of all our LED system is dimmable and with soft-start, is just that bit nicer than halogen.

So, what do you need to know?

The main thing you need to know is that you can have Standard Power zones and High Power zones and each have their own family of fittings.

So, as long as you put Standard Power fittings onto the Standard Power zones and High Powered fittings onto the High Powered zones, you’ll have no problems.

Better still, within a garden you can have as many zones as you want, some with Standard Power and some with High Power and that’s absolutely fine as long as you put the right fittings on the right zones.

So to sum up, LED lighting is now the right choice for you, the garden professional, and with running costs 90% lower than halogen, your client is going to thank you every time.

So, if you are ready to start using LED then call us at the office on 01666 577577 and we’ll talk you through it in detail.
