Guide visitors to
your garden?s focal points. Important features take on
an extra depth and contour when lit from behind. Shelter
lights from direct view to avoid uncomfortable
glare. | |
 |
The diffused light
from fittings positioned high in tree branches create a
soft flickering carpet of moving light on the ground as
the foliage blows in the breeze, similar to a full moon
effect. | |
A continuous ribbon
of light along paths and driveways increases safety and
security. Fittings are usually low, shielded for eye
comfort and positioned so the light creates elegant
lines and contours in the garden. |
 | |
A strong beam of
light cast directly on an object, plant or tree, bathes
the feature in a brilliant wash of white or coloured
light. Take care to avoid uncomfortable glare from
incorrectly positioned lights. |

 |
Multiple light sources highlight a
series of objects or plants along a line of sight. Dim
foreground lighting with a brightly lit focal point at
the end is a variation which creates the illusion of
distance. | |
 |
A distinctive tree,
shrub or object takes on an extra charm when its
backdrop is light. The object appears in stark black
relief against its bright background as it would at
sunset. | |
Trees or shrubs,
illuminated from the front, cast ?larger than life?
shadows on the surface behind. Careful light positioning
will achieve dramatic results by varying the size of the
shadows. |
 | |
Carefully spaced,
concealed lights create a soft, subtle effect to change
a garden?s mood from day into night. A technique which
also provides efficient, unobtrusive security
lighting. |
