Decorating Landscapes With Exterior Lighting

Posted 2010-01-26 00:00:00

Having exterior lightings can make your house stand out even at nigh time. Choosing the appropriate lighting fixtures could enhance the beauty of your house and your yard while keeping it safe from unwanted intruders. Therefore, installing exterior lightings to your property ensures your safety while giving your house a gorgeous look.

To provide natural aesthetic look, you may want to recreate the lighting effects produced by the sun at different times of the day or the bright moon during the night. You may want to have those dramatic effects to accentuate certain focal points on your garden and house. Exterior lightings that can highlight the architectural design of your house, sculptures, ponds or even trees and plants are some of the light fixtures you may want to install.

It is not just about putting lights outdoors. It needs an appropriate balance between light and dark to provide the desired lighting effects. Using exterior lighting creatively and imaginatively can definitely give you the illumination you needed in a dramatic effect.

Moonlighting. It is one of the most popular lighting techniques used for outdoor lighting. It is a lighting design wherein you are able to reflect the unique and exquisite qualities of your house and your landscape. You need to put your lights high, one good choice would be tall trees, and should be properly angled. As the light diffuses on the leaves, it creates a soft, attractive shadow and lighting patterns on the ground below just as the bright moon at night.

Up Lighting. Up lighting is a lighting method used to feature certain architectural and landscape elements by illuminating them below. It looks even better when these elements are adjacent to walls as the light creates dramatic backdrops. It could be boulders, certain plants or trees, sculptures or any other garden structures. With this method, people's attention is drawn to the object being illuminated.

Silhouetting. Also known as backlighting, this method is creating by fixing lights directly behind the object of choice and cast a melodramatic shadow to the wall close to it. Usually, it is used to architectural elements, plants or other garden accessories to make them distinct from the wall.

Shadowing. This technique is very much similar to silhouetting but instead of placing the lights directly behind the object, lighting fixtures are installed in front of them. Shadowing can create more attractive and dramatic lighting effects that silhouetting as the shadows are greatly enlarged, evoking strong moods in the garden at night.

Step Lighting. Step lighting illuminates probably dangerous or accident prone areas in your yard. This is commonly used in stairs, whether it is a single step or an entire staircase. In this way, it provides sufficient lighting for better visualization to avoid unnecessary accidents.
