The Advantages of Landscape Lighting

• Appearance

The lights make your home and landscaping visible even after dark. When positioned properly, landscape lights make architectural features of the home pop out. Lights pointed at your favorite plants make the most of your landscaping at all times of night and day. Outdoor lights add a sense of drama to your landscaping.

Functionality Landscape lighting increases the functionality of your outdoor spaces. With proper lighting, you can use your front and backyard long after the sun goes down. Lights attached to deck posts illuminate the area for late-night dining or conversations. For additional lighting around a table.  Personal Safety The safety of your family and guests when outside or entering the home is another benefit of outdoor lighting. Home exteriors are full of potential dangers, like stairs, drop-offs, pools, and tripping hazards. Lighting near those hazards makes them visible to prevent a fall or other injury. Where to use Landscape Lighting- Just like indoor lighting, start by thinking about the types of light–ambient (general lighting), task (helps you perform specific tasks, such as preparing and cooking food), and accent (to highlight and add drama to architectural or landscape features). Specific areas that could benefit from lightings, such as the front door, a pool, steps, driveways, garage doors, pathways, decks or patios, address plates, landscaping, flagpoles and outdoor cooking areas. Some areas do not need lighting, but it is that space that you want to highlight because of its uniqueness. While you’re figuring out where you need light, assessing the beam angles is also one of the priorities. How do you want the lighting to be- Do you want your outdoor lights to mimic the style of your indoor lighting in order to connect the two? Do you have a completely different architectural home exterior and want to accentuate that instead? Or, do you want to take the minimalist approach, so the fixtures almost disappear?  So for the same, we have to take into consideration these notions so that you achieve the best-desired lighting solutions     Types of Landscape Lighting Fixtures Spotlights – This type of fixture is extremely popular in order to create up-lighting, most commonly used on trees. These fixtures are also known by other names like up-lights, downlights, directional lights, and floodlights. It is better to place two 20-watt downlights as high in a tree as possible and point them so that their beams do not cross. Floodlights – Floodlights are typically used to add extra security lighting to your yard, especially for larger areas around your property and in dark corners. Not only do floodlights utilize a higher wattage, but they are also beneficial to cover a wider angle. Path Lights – The most popular use for this type of lighting fixture is to keep walkways, or paths, well lit. Depending on the fixture used, light can be directed down and to the side or down and around the entire area. This lighting style works well along driveways, by in ground pool decking areas and garden trails.     Principles of Landscape Lighting Design Balance - A good sense of balance and proportion is crucial to the feeling you give others who come to visit. Use the right amount of lighting and shadows to achieve this goal. Cohesion - Your space should have a visual flow and carry your eye around the whole yard. Depth - You can create depth by the different types of light you are using, and the placement of the light can set up an illusion to make certain features look farther or closer than they are. Focal Points - A statue, water fountain, gazebo, or unique trees are all good examples of focal points. Illuminating a special feature for attention when the sun goes down will add visual interest to your property. Visual Comfort - Make sure the light is not too strong or too dull. It can become distracting to the viewer if there is an offset light fixture or the light is reflecting off another object.   When you’re ready to execute your outdoor lighting strategy or for more inspirational ideas be sure to check our lighting and products.
