Path and Walkway Lighting
While path and walkway illumination is low level lighting, it is also a key feature of a well-illuminated garden or backyard. The symmetrical placement of the lights creates intriguing meandering patterns through the darkness, not only lighting the way for a garden stroll but also making sure the walk is a safe one.
Security Lighting
This is the least subtle and most utilitarian of all the lighting techniques. Normally security lighting involves the use of large floodlights placed at key points for the sole purpose of discouraging criminal activity. The lighting can be dramatic, but for the most part it is a harsh and purely functional lighting scheme that eliminates shadows and areas in which an intruder could hide.
What should I do before I start a Lighting Project?
Although any home improvement project can be a "do it yourself" endeavor with the right amount of determination and elbow grease, working with electricity can be dangerous. For a large scale lighting project, it's probably best to work with a licensed electrician at the very least and a landscape lighting company if your budget will bear the cost. Before you talk with any professional about your project, draw out the layout of your backyard with your own ideas. This will give the workman with whom you consult a sense of the scope of the project, the goals you have in mind, and at least a starting point for discussions and refinements of your basic ideas.
Normally landscape lighting projects can be completed in a day unless the scheme requires some lights to be mounted on poles. Since the poles are set in concrete, the substance has to be given time to harden. Don't hesitate to ask a landscape professional to draw up the project in stages so you can do a little work, allow the budget to recover, and then move on to the next stage.
Consult an outdoor lighting guide for more information and for outdoor lighting tips that will help you to incorporate lighting into your yard or garden. Outdoor lighting ideas need to be tailored to your specific landscape, but with good use of the appropriate outdoor lighting technique the transformation can be stunning.
