The first question you should ask yourself is “What lighting effect am I looking for?”
Basic Outdoor Lighting Effects
GRAZING
Grazing is great to highlight a textured surface, like a tree trunk or stone wall. To create a grazing effect, a light source is placed about one foot from the surface and aimed parallel to that surface.
DOWNLIGHTING
Downlighting illuminates an object or area from above. This is how we produce a moonlight effect in your yard and garden.
UPLIGHTING
Uplighting illuminates an object from below. A great way to illuminate trees and shrubs.
SHADOWING
Shadowing A shadow effect is created by placing a light source in front of an object and projecting a shadow onto a surface behind that object.
