Lumify has 8 lighting modes including all sorts of flashing and alternating sequences as well as steady on where all lights stay on all the time with no flashing. Steady on is by far the most popular mode among our own customers so we have made this mode the first mode and the default mode on Lumify. Once you have selected your favourite mode Lumify will remember that setting and light up in that mode automatically each night. This can include supporting valuable habitats for wildlife, trees, historic buildings and monuments, as well as spaces for events, sport, active travel routes and traffic-free places. The Solar Centre was the first company to bring solar fairy lights and solar string lights to the UK market. Lumify have been designed to be used outdoors where they will withstand everything the British weather can throw at them, but that doesn't mean you can't use them indoors too! Simply remove the battery, disconnect the solar panel and plug them in to a USB charging source where they can operate indoors like normal mains powered lights.

It is hoped the new lighting in these popular areas can help reassure park users and encourage people to visit or travel through parks and open spaces.

Years of selling and designing solar lights have taught us that solar lights with separate solar panels always perform better. Lumify is a 3 piece system consisting of the solar panel, control tube and light string. The solar panel is connected to control tube by a 2m cable and there is 2m of cable between the control tube and the first LED bulb on the light string. This means that you can get your solar panel in a great location (the higher up the better) but still have your control tube within easy reach. Post-pandemic our parks and open spaces throughout the city have increased even further in popularity and continue be essential to modern life in the capital. They also provide havens for wildlife as well as important routes for people to move around the city by cycle and on foot.

Each of the proposed lighting designs must also consider improving lines of sight, the proximity of entrances and exits, vegetation overgrowth, use of the space, and the importance of routes to local communities. Up and down wall lights are a contemporary choice for exterior door lighting, with a sleek fitting that emits light from the top to the bottom of the light to illuminate your wall. Supplied complete with their fixings and fitting instructions for easy installation, our water-resistant lights are simple to install. The Depute Lord Provost Lezley Marion Cameron will give a short proclamation and Vestland County Council will declare the lights on. However, for many, these can be unwelcoming places, especially after dark, when fear of crime and concerns for personal safety are heightened. We of course recognise the community’s concerns and the need for these spaces to be safe and accessible for all users so I’m delighted that we are able to progress with illuminating existing paths in many of our parks and open spaces. We know where the first changes will be made but I hope through match funding we can roll these improvements out further across the city. We must also of course consider getting the right balance for needs of people and wildlife and steps will be taken to ensure the new lighting is not at the expense of biodiversity.”Culture and Communities Convener Cllr Val Walker, said: “In Edinburgh we’re extremely fortunate to have nearly 200 parks and open spaces to visit across the city and we want to make sure that they all remain accessible, safe, sustainable and of course open to the public for generations to come.

There are host of Christmas events taking place in Edinburgh this festive period, from markets to ice skating, Santa's Grottos and funfairs.If you are thinking of hosting an outdoor party and want to do so in the evening, then you will probably be thinking of two functional and decorative elements that will add life to the party and create the perfect party atmosphere. At the same time, you also want something reliable that will last. In recent years, requests for park lighting have increased. This is in part due to increased numbers of people having enjoyed opportunities for exploring local parks and open spaces during the pandemic, as well as improving safety within and through parks, particularly for women and young girls who often feel most at risk at night when walking alone in or near open spaces.
