Different Types of Landscape Lighting

Pathway Lighting

Pathway lights are exterior lights that enhance your outdoor experience. Pathway lighting is great for adding style along your paths during the day while keeping them properly lit at night.

Pathway lights are great options because they are weather resistant and durable, meaning they bring long lasting performance.

Outline your walkway with a unique fixture, like this tulip glass 3W Dabmar LED Path Light, or a classic lantern style 2.5W Dabmar fixture.

Bollard path lights create a tall lighted border around your walkway. Bollard lights come in elegant designs, like this Eurofase Bollard Light, or practical designs such as this LEDVANCE Sylvania Bollard light.

Deck and Step Lighting

Deck lighting install directly into or near your deck surface. Deck lights can add visibility along the steps and edges of the hardscape. Installing deck lighting can also improve your home's property value if you ever choose to sell your home.

Other deck lighting options can include post-top lights and outdoor wall lights on brick surfaces. When looking for deck lighting, make sure to find products that are weather-resistant for added longevity.

Step Lighting

Step lighting is outdoor lighting that adds light and safety to stairs. Like deck lighting, they can create a safe environment and provide an appealing look to the house.

Step lights should be installed on the front or side of the step. This will add a more focused and direct lighting experience.

In-Ground Well Lighting

In-ground lights, or well lights, one of the most common types of landscape lighting, install recessed into the ground. This means you can light up an area of your landscape without having a fixture disrupt the view.

They work perfectly for lighting up trees, plants, bushes, shrubs, or as up-lighting to illuminate objects or other features of your landscape.

While in-ground well lights are great outdoor light fixtures, the placement of each fixture matters. You can place them near sidewalks or soft landscaping areas.

However, do not place them near large trees. Placing the well lights near large trees can lead to unnatural growth of the tree. It can also lead to you cutting the tree down and disrupting the ecosystem.

To make the most of the in-ground well light, purchase energy-efficient LED lights. Since LED light bulbs consume less energy, it will help you save energy while also saving money for the long term.

Underwater Lighting

Underwater lights provide a soft glow in ponds, pools, and fountains. Make eye-catching water features with different colors underwater lights. You can choose between red, green, blue, yellow, or classic white light color temperatures. With underwater lighting, you can draw attention to these visually pleasing outdoor aspects of your home or commercial building.

Flood and Spotlighting

Floodlights are another option for landscape lighting. These light fixtures produce a broad amount of light to a large area. Flood lights typically illuminate fields, parking lots or other outdoor spaces. The term "flood light" describes light fixtures that flood areas with light.

Flood lights are also perfect for security lighting because of their wide beam angle. They also offer flood lights with motion sensor options.

We recommend LED flood lights because of their reduced energy consumption and high performance.

LED Flood lights are great for a number of reasons. These reasons are:

• Energy Efficiency: LED floodlights consume less energy than traditional HID flood lights.
• Durability: Longer lifespan than traditional flood lights keeping replacement costs low.
• Directional lighting: LED flood lights provide more focused and controlled lighting, without flickering.

Spotlighting

Spotlights offer a much narrower beam angle than outdoor led flood lights. Use spotlights for illuminating specific aspects of your landscape, like objects, decorations, or decorative shrubs and bushes.

Much like flood lights, you can use spot lights for landscape and architectural lighting as well as security purposes. Focus light on areas that need constant visibility or are hard to see at night.
