Landscape Lighting for Yards & Gardens

When it comes to the great outdoors, just any ordinary lighting will not do the trick. Landscape lighting is usually low-voltage and specially designed to illuminate lawns, gardens, and pathways. Oftentimes, it’s also designed to be discrete and easily tucked into shrubs or rock formations. The exception to this is flood lights, which act more as a security measure and are designed to brightly illuminate a vaster expanse of land in an otherwise pitch dark location.

Whether you’re a contractor hired to install landscape lighting at a botanical garden or a homeowner looking to light their front walkway, it’s important to know the different kinds of outdoor and landscape lighting that is available.

Post Top Landscape Lighting

An energy-efficient post top lantern light is an excellent lighting system and is compatible with the standard three-inch post, which is sold separately. The post is topped with the single lighting head of a variety of designs. The one-light LED bulb is equivalent to a 60 watt that uses only 13 watts of energy and gives years of brightness. The whole fixture gives a long-lasting durable performance, is weather-resistant, and is approved for wet locations.

This design usually features a hand-blown frosted cylinder light in an open textured frame, fits in with any exterior theme, and is the most popular light post today.

Landscape Flood Light

Outdoor LED flood lights are one of the best options for enhancing nighttime visibility because they instantly brighten buildings, walkways, parking lots, stage lighting for outdoor concerts and plays, and sports fields with high-intensity artificial light that is typically 75 to 100 lumens/watt. They also increase security, have an instant start-up instead of a necessary warm-up time, have a lower power consumption, and a longer life.

An outdoor sports event can be held during low-light or no-light evening conditions with flood lights, and television broadcasts are made possible because of having the lights.

Wall and Path Light

A stake-mounted path and wall luminary provides full cut-off lighting by using widespread optics that were designed to replace outdated Halogen and Fluorescent lights. When mounted on walls between 8 to 20 feet, the fixture provides accent pattern illumination. They are listed for wet locations, have a sealed compartment, and a clear Polycarbonate vandal-resistant lens.

Landscape accent lighting makes it safe and comfortable for those using the areas at night, as they provide safe guidance along the path with their illumination. The fixtures also come in such a large variety of charming shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, finishes, and prices that you can easily find the one or ones that are perfect to put the finishing touch on your particular outdoor location.
