For small patios found in the likes of London apartments, suburban terrace homes and government housing flats, standard 70W halogen bulbs are ideal. The compact but mighty solutions are capable of illuminating spaces measuring up to 9m². For larger spaces of up to 25m² upgrading to 120W bulbs will ensure ample radiance while spaces measuring in at over 100m² should be fitted out with ultra-luminous 250W models.

Home and business owners wanting to illuminate back gardens, terraces and courtyards of up to 50m² should opt for 120W standard halogen solutions. For those with the luxury of space, 250W bulbs offer additional range for medium to larger sized gardens of up to 200m². Those keen to show off the exteriors of their properties should opt for weather proof 120W bulbs. The brilliant glow is ideal for lighting up building facades of all shapes and sizes.
