Understanding Different Types of Landscape Lighting

---

There are many steps to follow in order to make your home look beautiful. But, it’s not all about the interior – when was the last time you gave the outside of your home some thought? With landscape lighting you can transform your home and highlight its beauty with the flip of a switch. Want to put your house on a beautiful display for the whole block to see? First, you have to know the landscape lighting basics:

Lighting types:
Choosing the right lighting is more than just picking the right hardware, you’re also artistically creating a lighting scheme.
Garden– This type of light fixture reflects down into planting beds. It can also be used as pathway markers.
Wash – A wash casts a soft, diffused light for brightening flat facades, fences, and garden walls.
Bullet – These light fixtures are versatile and compact. They project a narrow beam of light – good for lighting house features, trees, and garden structures.
Well – This light is buried inside the ground so you get light without seeing a fixture. Use well lights to illuminate plants or the base of a facade.
Downlight – A downlight is often located high in trees to be aimed downwards at lawns or pathways.
Flood – Due to their bright light, use flood lights sparingly to illuminate tall trees or wide areas.

Lighting designs:
Plot out your ideas to help you decide which fixture style you want and where. Avoid overly bright and dark areas.
Home facade – Focus attention on your home and their most appealing architectural elements.
Standout trees – When illuminating trees, make sure to light up the trunk as well as the foliage.
Backyard – The front of the house isn’t the only place to use landscape lighting. Make your yard a bit more inviting with the help of some lighting.
Garden – Properly illuminate your garden by using light fixtures that beam down on your plants.
Patio – Add extra illumination to your patio by providing a mood-setting glow and a light to grill by.
