A Beautifully Lit Garden: Elevate Your Outdoor Space

A beautifully lit garden extends the enjoyment of your outdoor space long after the sun sets.

Unfortunately, many homeowners and landscape designers face a real problem: poor-quality lighting solutions on the market that deteriorate quickly and need constant maintenance or replacement.

Fear not, we at Hudson Lighting are here to rewrite that narrative, with our long-lasting and expertly crafted lighting solutions that are both durable and aesthetically excellent.

First of All, Why Invest in Durable Garden Lighting?

Well, investing in high-quality outdoor lighting is about long-term value. Cheaper alternatives may seem appealing at first, but replacements and maintenance costs will quickly add up.

Hudson Lighting’s solutions eliminate these concerns by providing fixtures that are made to last, to give you reliability—not long-term expenses.

Additionally, well-designed garden lighting enhances security, adds curb appeal and increases the usability of outdoor spaces. So, if you like to host summer evening gatherings or just enjoy a quiet moment in a well-lit garden by yourself, high-quality lighting makes the world of a difference.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Experience

Founded by Chris Hudson in 2017, Hudson Lighting was born out of frustration with the shortcomings of conventional outdoor lighting.

With over a decade of experience installing lighting for elite landscape gardening firms, Chris recognised that many garden light fittings were prone to water ingress, leading to frequent service calls and unsatisfied customers.

His answer to that is robust, waterproof lighting solutions that stand the test of time. And that is what he did.

At Hudson Lighting, every product undergoes rigorous quality checks, including underwater testing, to make sure that each fixture can stand up to harsh weather conditions. Our dedication to excellence means that our lights are more than just waterproof—they are fully submersible, a feature that sets them apart in the industry.

British Craftsmanship, Global Standards

Our commitment to quality can be seen in our hands-on approach to manufacturing. Our workshop in Surrey is equipped with cutting-edge Nakamura lathes, so our team can precision-machine stainless steel and aluminum components in-house.

From crafting circuit boards to assembling the final product, every step is meticulously managed by a skilled team.

The result is a product range that offers unparalleled resilience whilst enhancing the beauty of your garden, whether you are using it for pathway lighting, dramatic uplighting or architectural accent lighting.

Durability Meets Thoughtful Placement

One of the key considerations in garden lighting is not just durability but also placement. David Keegan, an award-winning landscape designer from DK Garden Design, emphasises the importance of strategic lighting installation.

"Garden lighting is more than just functional—it creates mood, highlights focal points and adds depth to the space."

However, according to David, one of the most common mistakes in garden design is over-lighting, which washes out the natural beauty of a garden. Instead, he recommends a combination of uplights, downlights and subtle pathway lighting to create balance and drama.

David has also handpicked the Micro Spike Spot, as its hood allows directional lighting without glare, and the IP 68 rating means it works well whatever the weather. Another favourite is the Downward Spike Spot, which can be used to illuminate a pathway or boardwalk without shining in your eye as you pass.

Our product range is perfect to support his design approach, complementing any landscape styles and needs. Its precision-engineered lights ensure that the ambiance is undisturbed—not even in the most demanding conditions.
