During the daylight hours, passers-by marvel at the beautiful landscape you've created. Don't let the darkness cover it up. The addition of low voltage landscape lighting to your home increases the appeal and enjoyment of your home long after the sun has set.
With landscape lighting the term “Less is more” is very true. The pictures below we can see how low voltage lighting can create an ambiance in a persons garden at night, and the correct placement will enhance a homes features and security.
Here are some tips to keep in mind when deciding where to install low voltage lighting in your garden:
- For walkways, avoid lining each side of the path with lights for an airport runway look. Alternate edge lights on either side of walkways to direct light down and spread light out.
- Don't dot your landscape willy-nilly with lights. This creates a birthday cake effect.
- For hedges, trees, and vertical plantings, use floodlights or spotlights that direct light upwards.
- Position lights at the beginning of a path or steps to mark the entrance.
- Create contrast in the garden by planning lighted spaces and dark areas instead of illuminating the entire area like a parking lot.
