Power Options

Outdoor lighting is available in 120V or 12V systems. The 12V systems are the best choice for most homeowners because they usually can be installed without hiring an electrician and without adding additional circuits to your electrical panel. The cords typically are buried, but if you use a 12V system they don`t pose a safety risk and need not be buried v

Picking Bulbs

Halogen bulbs traditionally have been used in landscape lighting, but recent advances in LED lights make them the best alternative. LED fixtures are comparable in cost of the old halogens, and they`re more energy-efficient, more reliable in cold weather and can last more than 10 times as long. Make sure to select ones that are rated to be used in enclosed fixtures. Fluorescent bulbs usually are best avoided. They often create light of an unpleasant color and fail in cold weat

Moonlighting

Moonlighting is a special downlighting technique. Downlights are hung on tree branches above the lowest branches so that the light filters through the leaves of those low branches, creating a dappled, natural-looking light-and-shadow effect. Other lights might be mounted in these trees, pointed up to highlight the foliage canopy. Mount these lights around

Downlighting

Downlighting is a good way to light outdoor activity areas, such as outdoor dining tables or cooking areas. They are also very good at lighting planting areas and for projecting a wash of light across grassy areas. Downlights can be mounted on eaves, trellises, gazebos or the branches of mature trees. Their cords can be run down the side of the tree that

Path lighting

Path lighting makes strolling on walkways safer after dark, but handled improperly, path lights can make a yard look like an airport runway. To help mitigate this effect, vary the side of the walkway that path lights are placed on, and vary the distance between lights. This creates visual interest and breaks up the runway effect. For safety, place a path light at any point in the walkway where there is a step or change in surface. Select opaque m

Silhouetting

Also known as backlighting, silhouetting is a dramatic uplighting technique appropriate when shrubs or trees with strong sculptural shapes, such as magnolias or evergreens, are located in front of a wall or fence. For this application, a row of uplights is aimed to illuminate the wall or fence behind these trees or shrubs to achieve the desired [wallwashing" effect. The distance between uplights generally should be equal to the distance between the uplights and the wall for t

Uplighting

These accent lights are positioned on or in the ground and pointed up to dramatically illuminate lawn features such as trees, sculpture or gazebos. Uplights that are recessed into the ground are known as well lights. Ones that are mounted above grade are called ground-mounted directional fixtures. Choose directional lights with hoods or shades so that you

Doorway lighting

Most houses already have one or two fixtures mounted beside the front door. Many homeowners put uncomfortably bright bulbs inside these fixtures, thinking that more light is better. It really just creates more glare and causes the decorative fixtures to take over visually. Instead, install 25W or 40W bulbs to illuminate entryways while minimizing harsh glare and shadows. LED bulbs are now available in traditional shapes, including flame tip. You can get the light output of th

What is the Best Landscape Lighting?

Most landscape lighting today is low voltage, and with good reason. Unlike 120-volt systems, it's safer to work with and less costly to install. And though low-voltage lights receive one-tenth the power, thanks to a step-down transformer, there's no limit to the effects they can achieve, from ethereal moonlight beamed down from a tree canopy to a subtle glow that washes over a low garden wall. More than just picking the right hardware, a pleasing lighting scheme is also about artistry.

Deck lighting

Decks need to be illuminated well to avoid trips and falls, especially when guests are around. As an outdoor space with a high frequency of post-dusk usage, the deck`s lighting design needs to factor in the steps, the deck rails and the approach path. In-ground LED lights can be used to indicate the perimeter of the deck while bulkheads or sconces on the wall will increase brightness in th

Alfresco dining area lighting

A sit-down alfresco dinner with friends or family needs the right ambience, which can be achieved with an optimal level of lighting. Portable lights such as decorative lanterns are charming conversation pieces that can also be moved around at will. If the dining area is in a niche or recessed space, use LED wall lighting or wall sconces with an open bottom, flush mounted to the wall to cast plenty of light on the table below. Use string lights, festoon lights or exposed globe lights placed in a

Open courtyard lighting

When you are relaxing under the open sky at night, add to the starry effect by running a few strands of string lights overhead. Drape festoon lights from tree branches or use uplights at the base of the tree trunk to cast ambient light. For additional illumination, install lanterns or uplights on your home`s exterior walls. Select waterproof, preferably solar-powered LED string lights to e

Use adjustable spotlights to uplight tall trees, plant small well lights within bushes or shrubs, place uplights between planters, use edge-lighting to border the lawn or along low walls, hang festoon lights on tree branches, and install accent lights for arches or any other garden structure with the play of light and shadow creating just the right amount of intrigue.

Pool lighting

Safety is a critical component of pool lighting design, and so is ambience. Begin with the walkways and steps around the pool, using recessed lighting or ground lights along the perimeter of the path to light up the area and prevent tripping incidents. Underwater lighting using coloured lights placed in a layered style will add to the party atmosphere. String up fairy lights above the pool and on tree branches for a fun, festive and starry effect.

Pathway lighting

A well-lit pathway to your backyard or your garden serves two purposes: It not only guides your guests safely to the backyard but also aesthetically highlights the walkway. Installing lights at a lower height on the ground on both sides of the path will create a magical effect on the paving. You could also try edge-lighting along the borders, especially around planter or flower beds. Standalone solar lanterns or lamps mounted on a stake are a great idea for pathway lighting as they eliminate

Mixed lighting

The mixed lighting mainly adopts the combination of edge outline and floodlighting. According to the morphological characteristics of the building, it uses a variety of lighting technology to create a beautiful visual art image of the building. In the selection of lamp position, attention should be paid to the position setting of lamps and lanterns as low as possible, so that the light can be flat or upward projected on the building. For mixed lighting, the direction of light emission should be controlled to avoid contact with water surface.

Floodlighting

Floodlighting is a point light source which can be adjusted in all directions to produce shadows and highlight the ups and downs of the building facade. The shadow scale of floodlighting depends on the fluctuation of building surface and the incident angle of light. The average illumination direction angle is 45 ° and the incident angle must be greater than 45 ° if the fluctuation of building surface is small.

Transmission lighting

There are three main lighting methods: (1) make full use of the indoor light at night to form a luminous surface or light-emitting belt on the glass, and let the light transmit to the outside of the building through the glass and glass curtain wall; (2) set up the internal light transmission lighting equipment around the windows inside the building or some special doors that need to be illuminated to form a unique luminous body to show the unique artistic effect; (3) The high-tech lighting setting method is used, and the luminous elements formed by

Outline lighting

Usually, incandescent lamps are installed continuously according to a certain distance to form a light band effect. Linear lamps such as neon lamp, Meinai lamp and linear optical fiber can also be used to outline the building outline. For the modern buildings with rich contour or characteristic modeling buildings, the combination of contour lighting and local projection lighting is suitable.
