Overview of Outdoor Landscape Lighting

Outdoor landscape lighting enhances beauty, safety, and functionality using fixtures like floodlights, spike lights, and inground lights. Techniques such as up-lighting, down-lighting, and moonlighting create ambiance, while high-quality lighting focuses on durability and reducing glare. Energy-efficient LEDs minimize environmental impact, and thoughtful design ensures safety, security, and accessibility. Proper lighting also highlights architectural and natural features, creating a cohesive outdoor space.
