Brighten Up the Longer Evenings with Outdoor Lighting

It’s that time of year again! In the UK, as of 2am on the 30th of October 2022, the clocks will be going back for another time. This does mean we’ll be getting an extra hour of sleep, but it also means the sun will be rising and setting earlier! (You can thank Coldplay musician, Chris Martin’s great-great-grandfather!)

Clock changes aside, we’re heading into the season of darker evenings. As of the 21st of December, the sun will set at 3:53pm to mark the longest night of the year. But it’s not all sombre news, we’re here to brighten up the impending changes!

Shining a spotlight on our outdoor lighting selection, let us illuminate you with our top 8 bestselling lights!
