In the last article we discussed the two distinct types of pond lighting that a pond owner can choose. Namely, exterior pond lighting and interior pond lighting.

Exterior pond lighting will involve lighting your pond from above or situating lights around the border of your pond. These may either be fitted into the decking or just placed on the ground. This will give your pond an added aesthetic feature and also mean you get your most out of your pond in the evening when the garden would otherwise be in darkness.

We discussed exterior pond lighting in the last article, so here we will give a brief summary of how you can add lighting into your pond to illuminate the pond area.

Interior pond lighting

You can use low voltage lighting that can be submerged into the pond or floated on the pond to add to your ponds aesthetic nature. You might think that lights and water don’t mix, but most pond lighting works only on very low voltages meaning safety for yourself and your fish. Most of these lights will be permanently sealed to prevent the ingress of water and can be directed placed in the pond to focus on features such as your pond fountain. Installation of these lights is really easy and even people with modest DIY skills should have no problem with the installation process.
