Lighting is a powerful, yet often overlooked tool when it comes to outfitting your landscape. With a few well-placed fixtures, it can not only enhance your home’s curb appeal, but also create a more functional outdoor living space. In this article, we'll go over the concept of landscape lighting, its uses,  and some tips on how to get started.

What Are Landscape Lights?

Landscape lights are a type of lighting that is used to accentuate certain features in your yard or garden. They're designed to be minimal in size and blend in with their surroundings, and serve as an unobtrusive way to add light to your outdoor space.

What's The Difference Between Landscape Lights And Traditional Lights?

The main difference between landscape lights and traditional lights is the fact that landscape lights are specifically designed for use in landscapes. What does this mean? Although they both use similar technology in generating light, landscape lights are designed for outdoor settings, so they're typically structured to be weather resistant. They also have a much wider beam angle, so that the light they create is diffused over a larger area. This makes them ideal for use in gardens and other outdoor spaces where you want to add a bit of light without being too overwhelming. Traditional lights can also be used for landscape lighting, but they may not be as effective at accentuating certain features or providing a soft, ambient light.

The Different Types Of Landscape Lights That Exist

When it comes to configuration options, you can get landscape lights in a number of unique varieties. The following is a breakdown of some of the most popular. 

Spotlights

Spotlights are a rather broad category used to describe lighting that points in only one direction. They can range in brightness levels and coverage area, and are often  used to accentuate specific features in your landscape. For example, you might use a spotlight to highlight a statuesque tree in your garden, or to cast light on an interesting architectural feature of your home.

Floodlights

Floodlights are similar to spotlights in that they also emit light in only one direction. However, they differ in terms of the intensity and coverage area of their light. Floodlights tend to be much brighter than spotlights, and their beam angle is also wider. This makes them ideal for use in larger outdoor spaces where you need more light to cover a larger area. You might use floodlights to light up your driveway, or to provide extra light in your backyard at night. 

Step Lights

Step lights are designed to be placed on stairs or other raised surfaces, and they provide a gentle light that illuminates the area around them. They're often used in conjunction with other types of landscape lights to provide a well-rounded lighting scheme.

In-Ground Lights

In-ground lights are designed to be placed directly into the ground, and they're often used to provide accent lighting along pathways or driveways. They tend to be smaller in size than spotlights and floodlights, and their light is usually more diffused. This makes them a good option if you're looking for landscape lights that are less obtrusive.
