Landscape lighting is a key feature that can set a building or landscape apart, as it plays with light and dark, creating contrast, shadows, and silhouettes. It provides curb appeal at night, introducing drama and intimate spaces softly washed in light, or well-lit spaces that invite you to sit and stay. Landscape lighting is both aesthetic and functional, highlighting features that might go unnoticed during the day. Numerous exterior lighting techniques and technologies are available, all aided by LED innovation. Unique features in a yard such as a pond, a sculpture, or a large tree may be spotlighted. Walls can provide a grounding backdrop when grazed with light and shadow. Stairs or pathways are lit to ensure the safety of those traversing the space. The entryway is the final calling card, welcoming visitors with a wash of light delivered by wall sconces. Remember that the goal of landscape lighting is to only see the effect of the light, not the light source itself, save for path lighting, which is designed to be decorative and on display.
