Green Effect Lighting

Landscape lighting for your home, garden, patio, or deck is a great home improvement project. It is a way to enhance esthetic appeal and atmosphere by lighting your property to its best advantage. For highlighting flower beds, paths or steps, a downlight is positioned close to the ground. Uplighting a light source is when a light is aimed upwards and is effective when used to highlight interesting features like trees, fountains, or textured wall surfaces. Some fixtures, such as well lights, can be near buried to conceal them.

For spread or diffused lighting, the light source creates circular patterns of low-level light on flowerbeds, shrubs or ground cover. Spotlighting can control an intense beam to highlight the focal points in a garden such as flowers, small shrubs and statuary.
