Some Landscape Lighting Techniques
With Lighting Available Through Best Lighting Supply

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.
