Landscape Lighting Techniques
Trees, statues, pools, walkways; what features make up your landscape project? Which elements in an environment should be highlighted, and which should be down-played?
The answers to those questions will determine the lighting fixtures and techniques you’ll ultimately use. Hadco landscape lighting provides you with options to light your entire outdoor area.
Using some basic landscape lighting techniques you can create a dramatic or subtle outdoor lighting scheme.
Down lighting
may seem more natural because we are accustomed to the light of the sun and moon. In fact, most of the lighting that occurs naturally in life is from above. Office lighting, warehouse lighting, sports lighting, and home lighting are all examples of downlighting techniques. Downlighting is also very efficient in that you get to use all the light.
Accent lighting is lighting that focuses attention on a particular object or area. It commands the viewer to take note of a certain subject within the landscape. Examples of accent lighting are spotlighting a statue, path lighting a walkway or highlighting a flower bed with spread lights.
Fill-in lighting is another form of outdoor background lighting. It ties the overall landscape picture together, creating a comfortable transition from one accented area to another. Some examples may be backlighting a tree, washing a wall or fence, or flooding a row of evergreens with soft light.
Outdoor up lighting tends to draw more attention and is often more dramatic. Therefore, it is used for accent lighting purposes more often than downlighting.
Exterior Back lighting is used to silhouette a plant, tree, or structure. Many times the shape of a plant is more interesting than the detail. By gently lighting a wall or fence behind the plant, you identify the shape.

Outdoor Finishes & Materials
Some lighting fixtures should be statements unto themselves; others should blend into the environment they serve. A fixture that improperly stands out from its surroundings will distract from the artistry of the application. That’s why choosing the right material and finish is just as important as choosing the right lamp. To maximize your choices, Philips Hadco offers an assortment of materials in a spectrum of finishes, each painstakingly developed to harmonize and endure in naturally occurring environments.
