Making the most of the SZMP light-and-fountain
This SZMP is really two products in one — a daytime fountain and a night light — so it is worth setting up with both in mind.
Give it a full day of sun for a long evening glow
The LEDs run on whatever the battery banks during the day, so the sunnier the spot, the longer and brighter the night show. Keep the glass panel clean and clear of shade, and the fountain will still be glowing well into the evening.
Fit the anti-drift fixers before you float it
Clip the four fixers on and adjust them to your basin before you set it going. They stop the disc drifting to the rim and spraying over the edge — the difference between a tidy centrepiece and a puddle on the patio.
Match the nozzle to the basin
In a smaller bird bath, a low dome keeps the water inside and still catches the light beautifully. Save the tall plume for a wider basin where there is room for it to fall back in.
