A residential garden was recently enhanced with the addition of Foliar Connect lighting, bringing both practicality and atmosphere to the outdoor space. The project focused on creating a flexible, modern lighting solution that could highlight planting features and pathways while remaining simple for the homeowner to install and adapt over time.
At the heart of the system is the Foliar Connect hub, a compact yet powerful control unit designed for professional installation. To ensure compliance and safety, the hub was fitted by a qualified electrician, providing a robust foundation for the wider system.
Once the hub was in place, the homeowner was able to complete the installation of the lighting elements themselves. The 24V plug-and-play design of the Foliar Connect range made this straightforward, with no need for specialist tools or wiring expertise. Black Spike Lights were positioned discreetly within planting areas to highlight shrubs and architectural features, while the black Planter Lights were installed along borders to provide a soft, ambient glow.
The system’s modular design added further versatility. A splitter enabled multiple lights to run from a single feed, while a choice of cable lengths allowed for tailored configurations to suit the layout of the garden. This flexibility meant the lighting could be adapted easily as the garden evolved, with lights repositioned or added without the need for further electrical work.
The finished result was a garden that not only looked inviting after dark but also provided a practical and adaptable solution for future needs. The Spike Lights created striking accents across planting beds, while the Planter Lights offered consistent low-level illumination along pathways and seating areas. Together, they brought a balance of style, safety and functionality.
By combining a professionally installed hub with easy-to-manage, plug-and-play lighting, the Foliar Connect system delivered a solution that is safe, flexible and perfectly suited to residential applications.
