As the weather hots up and more and more of us turn to al fresco entertainment, it's a good time to consider how the outside of our homes stack up as a social destination. And just as the right lighting can transform an interior scheme, the same premise applies to outdoor decor too.
The revolutionary new Options range from IQ makes it easy to light up your outdoor life.

The innovative range offers the most flexible outdoor lighting solutions around. There are twelve lantern designs in the collection but what makes Options unique is the separate plug-in 3-in-1 sensor module.

Each lantern operates manually as standard, however by simply plugging this pioneering and unobtrusive sensor into any of the Options lanterns you can choose whether your light is activated by darkness, motion or a combination of both - literally giving you more 'options'.

So if you want a light activated by motion at the front door, by darkness in the back garden and by darkness and motion on the garage, this 3-in-1 sensor allows you to have all three in the same design.

The Options range of lanterns and Options Sensor Module (sold separately) are available from most B&Q Warehouse stores. Retail prices start from £19.98 for the lanterns and £9.98 for the sensor module. For more information visit www.iq-europe.co.uk or log on to www.diy.com.
