 |
Spot
Lighting
Engaging architecture and statuary
in and around your landscaping can be spotlighted with
a focused beam of light to set them off after
dark. Best results are achieved when the fixture
is mounted overhead, thereby minimizing glare and
usually providing a direct light path to the structure
to be accented.
|
 |
Silhouetting
Trees and plants having unique
branch structure create an engaging appearance when
silhouetted. This technique is produced by
placing a fixture directly behind the subject and
pointing it at a vertical surface. The resulting
dark image of the subject is displayed when the
observer is viewing from the foreground.
Silhouetting is a good technique to show off the shape
of an object, but not the color or texture.
|
 |
Shadowing
This technique casts a shadow on a
vertical surface by placing a fixture directly in
front of the subject and aiming the light through
it. The shadow can be enlarged by positioning
the luminaire closer to the subject. This is a
great method of showing off the unique branch
structure of unusual greenery and it adds security to
your home.
|
 |
Grazing
Accomplished by positioning a
luminaire within six to eight inches of a facade and
aiming it 90 degrees vertically. This approach
works beautifully with the texture of stone or brick
retaining walls, privacy fences, building facades,
chimneys or anywhere else shadow and light may enhance
the surface quality of masonry materials.

 |
Moon
Lighting
By placing a fixture in a tree and
aiming it downward, art imitates nature by creating
the tranquil appearance of light filtering through the
branches on a moonlit night. A luminaire may be
positioned on the ground as well, pointed upward in
order to illuminate the tree itself. When using
this technique, fixtures should be hidden and
positioned as high as possible.
