Path lights, uplights, downlights and step lights each do a different job. Here is how to combine them for safe, beautiful nights.
Good lighting works in layers. Path lights guide people safely along walks and drives. Uplights wash trees, walls and columns with light, adding drama. Downlights mounted in trees create a soft moonlight effect over patios and lawns. Step and hardscape lights make stairs and walls safe and highlight stone. Spotlights pick out sculptures and special plants. The mix depends on the home, the yard and the way you use the outdoors at night.
Details make the difference. LED fixtures use little power, last for years and come in warm tones that flatter brick and plants. A color temperature near 2700 kelvin gives a classic glow. Low-voltage systems are safer and easier to expand than line voltage. Fixtures should be shielded and aimed to avoid glare. Timers, photocells and smart controllers manage the system without effort. We design the lighting, install it and fine-tune the aiming after dark.
