What’s in a Light?
To the amateur landscape lighting designer, lighting fixtures may seem interchangeable, but for the professional, each piece plays a role in the broader lighting design. Here are some ways different types of fixtures can add to your overall landscape in aesthetics and function.
- Wall-mounted fixtures – illuminate entryways, garages, and storage sheds with a fixture that can be attached to a structure.
- Post lights – add lighting accents to driveways and walkways with lighted stakes that provide visibility and artistic interest.
- General lighting – this includes spotlights, well lights, and path lights. General lighting can add dramatic appeal to trees and landscaping elements.
- Floodlights – often paired with motion-activated sensors, they help you see near driveways, sheds, and backyards. The wide-angle light is good for illuminating large outdoor areas.
Choosing Lighting Fixtures
When it comes time to choose lighting fixtures, we recommend considering the following things:
- The function of the light—is it for visual interest, entertainment, or safety?
- Does the light’s style match the design aesthetic you had in mind?
- Will the light’s brightness shed enough light for illumination as intended?
- The energy-efficiency of the light—do you prefer solar-powered or wired options?
- Integration of lighting elements—would you like to operate your lighting through a smart automation feature?
