GARDEN LIGHTING TRANSFORM YOUR GARDEN WITH MAGIC TREE LIGHTING Magic at dusk.... guests greeted in style with champgne, the bursting bubbles barely heard over appreciative murmurs of friendly approval. The heat of the day evaporates as the golden orb of the sun retreats revealing a magical wonderland of lanterns glowing under a canopy of trees and fairylight vistas curving through hedges and archways. Your party has begun, the only discordant note the screeching of parrakeets retreating to a companiable roost.

I will visit your venue (preferably in the evening) to discuss the many options and combinations (and price ranges) that may suit your special event. I will bring a wide selection of photographs of lighting displays I have done so that you can see how the different lights, when carefully combined, produce a spectacular, elegant magical vista. All prices include delivery, installation, and removal for an over night hire. Generally, the lights are installed late afternoon and early evening a day or two in advance of your special event at no extra charge unless it is a very busy period, or it becomes clear you are holding more than one event. Extra days of formal use are charged at 20% of the first day's hire for every extra day. FAIRYLIGHTS - Ideal for Cocktail Parties, Weddings, Birthday, Fashion Parades. FAIRY LIGHTS look best when used in generous quantities on foliage of shrubs & trees, hedges, garden beds, fences, pergolas, railings, ceilings & market brollies. INSTALLED & REMOVE HIRE FEE $ 27.50 for a standard fairy light including transformers extension cords etc.(minimum garden lighting budget $ 165) LANTERNS - White Ricepaper Lanterns & Colourful Star Lanterns Soft illumination to bring out the MAGIC in your garden. They may be hung from trees, Pergolas, or stands; or strung along a partylight cable. New rules mean only low voltage lamps are used in outdoor lantern displays. This means there are limitations on the distance between lamp & low voltage transformers.

Rectangular or BeeHive Shaped GROUND or FLOOR MOUNTING LANTERNSIdeal for following Pathways or LIGHTING HARD TO SEE STAIRS OR OBSTRUCTIONS INSTALLED(hung from existing tree, pergola)Ricepaper or Star lanterns. HIRE FEES $16.50, or shade + stand $23.10 FLOODLIGHTS & SPOTS (UPLIGHTS & DOWNLIGHTS) Spotlights mounted on structures for general utility & security reasons frequently cause glare & discomfort to PARTY GUESTS. Carefully placed floods & spots can add to the MAGIC already happening with your FAIRYLIGHTS & LANTERNS. Palms, tall gums, jacarandas, poincianas, figs, mangos are just some of the trees where spots (with or without lanterns & fairylights) can add a gentle & mysterious glow to your setting.

High Power Halogen Floods on stand 500 watt $22,00 Outdoor Power Distribution Box For larger gardens and areas distant from sheltered power points we use a power box similar to a builders power box. This allows us to plug in a large number of outdoor transformers and outdoor floodlights safely. (The box has a safety switch and circuit breaker).

For smaller distribution tasks the Power Stake is used (has an overload cutout and on-off switch).
