The Garden Light Set is very simple to install, simply plug and play with little electrical knowledge required. I made sure that the areas that the lights were to be mounted in were within the range of the cable lengths, I then attached the lights to the included lawn spikes and pushed them into the lawn as required, pointing the lights at various garden features in order to achieve the best effect. Note the lawn spikes are removable so the light units can also be screwed to a wall or decking as required.

After placing the lights, I attached the link cables and connectors back to the power supply and plugged them into a mains socket. The handset was already paired to the lights and each of the lights in the chain all changed colour together so all that was needed then was to wait until dark to see the effect!

I have to say the light output from these compact light units was very effective. We have a very large willow tree in our garden and the lights had no problem reaching into the upper branches. Obviously, some colours were better than others, particularly the cool white light and green really brought out the natural colours in the tree. I also tried the lights on various garden features to see the effects that could be achieved. Selecting a slow colour fade was a good effect and all the programs and colour selection is done from the user-friendly handset which doesn’t require a line of sight to operate the lights. As long as one of the lights is within 20m of the handset the lights worked perfectly even from inside the house.
