Whether you opt for candles, fixed lamps or fairy lights, outdoor lighting is a great way of giving your garden character and making your space that bit more inviting at this time of year. Here's our pick of the brightest and best outdoor lights around.

Barnstormer

Simple and classic, the design of this barn lamp is based on similar traditional lights used on farm outbuildings. The lamp comes in a number of natural colours and two sizes. It works as either an indoor or an outdoor light, but we think it would look great on your porch.

Inspired by the design for an old Swiss shepherd's lantern, these traditional lamps are a great way of introducing candles to your outdoor space without having the wind constantly blowing them out. Simply drop a tealight into the glass tube and place on a step or hang on a tree branch. Cluster a few together for maximum impact.
