Warm August sees garden lighting sales surge

Just like last year, the warm August evenings sparked a huge increase in volume sales of garden lighting, as reported in GTN Bestsellers'  latest Garden Products Chart.

While overall Top 50 volumes are down 20% year-on-year for the week, lighting matches last year and climbs 31%. This year sees a record 16 lighting lines in the Top 50 – more than 30% of sales.

  • Smart Solar’s Eureka! Neo Light Bulb Lantern is the highest placed lighting line at No 5.
  • Premier Decorations Coloured LED Pull Light & Bulb, a favourite for parasols, moves up 5 to No 7.
  • Miracle-Gro plant food saw a sales surge to re-enter at No 1.
