Landscape lighting is lighting
for outdoor areas such as the garden at home and public sports arenas or
parks.  This lighting has the same
purpose as indoor lighting, which is not only to provide light but also to
increase the aesthetics of a home’s exterior, as well as to provide
much-needed security at night.  Most
people are used to having only one source of outdoor lighting, but this is
often the least that usually serves to provide the light needed to see where
the door is.  This article discusses
the different types of landscape lighting techniques and fixtures that come
with it.

  • The best landscape luminaires for this
    include the low voltage headlight and the canister lighting.  The metal halide lamp can be considered for
    this task, as it finds very versatile use compared to the sodium vapor lamps.  Spotlights can also be used, although the
    effect achieved will not be the
    same.
  • Wall
    washing

  • The best landscape
    luminaires to use here are the spotlight, for example the bulb lamp.  They are low voltage luminaires that can
    sometimes be used with LED lights. 
    They can also have flood lights, depending on the type of ball fixture
    you choose.
  • This type of landscape lighting
    involves lighting walls to create a smooth and calming effect on it.  This is achieved by placing the lamp on the
    ground, a few meters from the wall.

  • The best
    landscape luminaires to use for this are the path luminaires, which are
    available in a variety of shapes and styles. 
    You will find both solar and electric luminaires for this type, which
    is a pretty good way to save money if you choose the latter
    option.
  • Marking

    As
    the name suggests, lighting is an outdoor function, such as a statue, a tree
    or a bush.  This is primarily for
    aesthetic purposes, which increases the visual appeal of the best features of
    nature during the night.

    Path Lighting

    This
    is the lighting of paths along sidewalks, patios, walkways or driveways.  This is similar to task lighting, as the
    lighting is intended to help an individual see where they are going.  The placement of these luminaires should be
    carefully considered, as poor placement can lead to poor lighting or t kick
    or touch the luminaire, depending on how it is installed.  It should also not obstruct the
    lawnmower.
