When your LED landscape lighting is strategically placed, you will be inviting families to drive by to pass judgment on your creation. By mixing the areas where the lights cast across your pathways, trees and garden beds, your landscape comes alive when it mixes with the moonlight.
The Importance of Blending Ideas
As you drive by other family homes and commercial premises, you will quickly notice that the best LED landscape lighting is provided by a mixture of different types and styles of lighting. Instead of one substantial focus, lots of small ideas often work better.
Where you intend to grow plants, it is easy to imagine how your LED landscape lighting will work in the future. However, where trees and shrubs have been planted and will grow considerably more over the years, you can consider how these will work within your lighting plan now or make changes in the future.
Pathway lighting is a common choice because it brings safety and security to the area. Finding the right balance between lighting the areas around pathways and potentially illuminating too much is a difficult choice. It may be better, to begin with, fewer lights in the beginning and add more lighting at a later stage.
Do the Lights All the Landscaping Come First?
Where you work with a blank canvas, you can plan both your landscaping and your lighting strategy and design in advance. Should you need to work with the landscaping already in place, it will be easier to work with what you have as landscaping and add appropriate lighting.
Your LED landscape lighting will help provide a brilliant light for years ahead and require very little maintenance apart from occasional cleaning, especially when you are using solar power energy, which requires the power surfaces to be cleaned regularly.
Where you are unsure, you can meet with and discuss your landscape lighting with experienced professional lighting experts who will offer you a range of options for you to consider. The final choices always yours.
