Apologies, we forgot to take photos of what's inside the peep hole of the Poplars Lighting Shed, so we've been back and completed the story.



The Poplars Lighting Shed is part of a shop within a shop concept at Poplars, this one provided by Solar Centre.  The display has been built by Solar Centre and will run for an initial 3 month period.  "We hope it will be as successful as the Burgon and Ball shop which is now a permanent feature," explained Poplars General manager Alastair Goodhand.



While the peep hole gives customers a great display of the solar lighting strings that are on sale, through clever use of mirror panels covering the shed walls, it's the sales of solar powered security lights that has impressed the Poplars team most.  In fact when we visited for the second time, several of the security light lines had sold out and they were awaiting new stocks.



Will this be the first of many "Lighting Sheds" in garden centres?
