We design and install permanent festoon lighting for gardens, patios, pergolas and outdoor living spaces across Hertfordshire. All work is completed by NICEIC-certified electricians to BS 7671 and Part P requirements.
Festoon lighting is a simple and effective way to add warmth, atmosphere and character to outdoor spaces. At KG Electrical Contractors, we design and install permanent festoon lighting for patios, pergolas, garden rooms and entertaining areas, helping you enjoy your garden long after sunset.
Every installation is tailored to your outdoor space. Whether you’re defining a seating area, framing a pergola or creating ambient lighting for entertaining, we carefully plan cable routes, fixing points and light spacing to achieve a clean, professional finish.
Trusted by homeowners, landscapers and garden designers across Hertfordshire, we combine specialist outdoor lighting expertise with qualified electrical knowledge to deliver safe, durable and energy-efficient festoon lighting that enhances outdoor living throughout the year.
For most permanent festoon lighting installations, we recommend LED filament globes at 2200K to 2700K for a warm, welcoming glow that complements gardens and outdoor living spaces.
| Bulb Type | Colour Temperature | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| LED Globe (G40/G45/G50) | 2200K–2700K | The most popular choice. Provides a warm Edison-style glow, long lifespan and low energy consumption. Suitable for almost every garden setting. |
| LED Filament Globe | 2200K–2400K | Creates a traditional festoon appearance with visible filaments and LED efficiency. Popular for patios and pergolas. |
| Vintage Edison | 2200K Warm Amber | Distinctive elongated bulbs with spiral filaments. Best where the lamps are visible and form part of the design. |
| Polycarbonate Shatterproof | 2700K–3000K | Durable bulbs designed for high-traffic areas, events and lower-level installations where breakage is a concern. |
| Multi-Colour LED | Various | Typically used for seasonal displays and events rather than permanent patio and pergola lighting schemes. |
We installed discreet lighting and power across three designer gardens at RHS Wisley. Using 32 lights and six power supplies to highlight rare plants and create a calming, immersive evening experience.
During a £14 million spa refurbishment, we worked with leading designers to install lighting for a tranquil courtyard garden — a scheme that brings calm, elegance, and atmosphere as day turns to night.
Working alongside lighting and garden designers, we delivered a bespoke scheme for this six acre estate in Chesham covering ancient trees, meadows, fountains, and formal gardens.
