Outdoor wall lights that transform your facade, fence and pergola

Wall lighting is the most direct way to give your outdoor space a warm, inviting appearance in the evening. The Garden Lights wall lights operate on safe 12V and combine sleek, timeless design with energy-efficient LED technology. They are mounted on facades, fences, pergolas or garden walls and illuminate both the wall itself and the surrounding area with warm, diffuse light.

Whereas indoor wall lights create cosiness in your living room, outdoor wall lights do the same for your garden. The right wall lighting turns your terrace into a proper outdoor living space — even after sunset.

Five places where wall lighting makes a difference

• Facades and rear walls — give your home's facade a warm, welcoming appearance from the garden
• Fences and screening — light up the boundary with your neighbours atmospherically instead of leaving it dark and cold
• Pergolas and covered structures — turn your canopy into a cosy outdoor room with soft wall lighting on the posts and beams
• Garden walls and retaining walls — accentuate low or high brick walls with a decorative light effect
• Garage doors and entrances — functional lighting at the front door or garage that also enhances your home's appearance

Up-down wall lights: light upwards and downwards

A special category within Garden Lights wall lighting are the up-down fittings: wall lights that emit light both upwards and downwards. This creates a charming two-way effect along facades and pergolas and is popular in modern garden styles. Combine multiple up-down wall lights at equal intervals along a fence or pergola for a rhythmic, professional result.

Materials and finishes

Garden Lights wall fittings are made from stainless steel, aluminium or technopolymer — materials specially selected for outdoor durability. They do not rust, discolour or require maintenance. Available in black, anthracite and silver grey for any garden design. The protection rating is a minimum of IP44 (splash-resistant) for use in sheltered locations, or IP54 for fully exposed installation in the rain.

Installing wall lighting on 12V: how it works

Garden Lights wall lights connect to the 12V flex cable system via the push-in connector. The cable runs along or through the wall to the fitting — you can neatly conceal it in a cable trunking or leave it visible along the wall with clips. The light itself is secured with screws:

• On wood (fence, pergola) — use wood screws, optionally with plugs for harder wood types
• On concrete or masonry — drill with a masonry bit and use wall plugs
• On facade cladding (render, HPL) — use anchor bolts or cavity wall plugs for a secure fixing

Combine multiple wall lights on one transformer for consistent lighting along your entire facade. Allow for total wattage: a 60W transformer provides space for approximately 10–15 wall lights of 4–6W.

Spacing: how far apart should you hang wall lights?

The ideal distance between wall lights depends on the function and desired effect:

• Atmospheric lighting along a fence — 1.5 to 2.5 metres spacing for a calm, cohesive light line
• Functional lighting at entrance or garage — 2 to 3 metres, or one light on each side of the door for symmetry
• Accent lighting along a pergola — one light per post or per 2 metres of beam for a professional result

Combine wall lighting for maximum atmosphere

Wall lighting looks best as part of a layered lighting scheme. Combine the wall lights with spotlights on trees and borders, deck lights along the decking and standing poles along the path.
