Bright Ideas: Landscape Lighting Tips

 

Bright Ideas: Landscape Lighting Tips

It’s getting darker earlier, and here are a few tips to make your landscape lighting more effective:
1. Design with light, not fixtures. Figure out what to illuminate and find the best fixture to create the effect
2. Don’t light everything. Creating shadows is just as important as creating light
3. Light trees properly. Consider viewing angles and style of tree
4. Select the correct beam angle & lumen output. Don’t use a one-size-fits-all LED lamp
5. Be careful of light trespass. last thing you want is for your light to shine into your neighbors’ windows
6. Don’t design without a plan. Even simple landscapes have a balance and theme that pulls the design together

What are your thoughts on landscape lighting?
