PATH
AND WALKWAY LIGHTING
Path and walkway
lighting is one of the most important functions of low level lighting.
These fixtures should cast a symmetrical light pattern and be mounted
at a low enough level as not to be a glare to the eyes and direct
visitors where to walk and highlight plants and shrubberies along
the walkway. |

SPREAD
LIGHTING
Spread lighting
is used for illuminating ground cover and low shrubberies. Bring
out the dazzling colors at night for a more stunning effect. Highlight
areas of interest to focus attention on those special plants which
are your pride and joy. |

SECURITY
LIGHTING
Security lighting
is achieved by placing strategically located spot and flood lights
at key locations around the premises to deter would-be intruders
and to add a more dramatic nighttime depth of field apprearance
to the premises. |

SILHOUETTE
LIGHTING
Silhouetting
or back lighting adds a dramatic effect when lights are projected
onto a wall or flat vertical surface from directly behind an interesting
object or an exceptionally shaped plant or shrubbery. The light
source should be concealed on the ground directly behind the object
being silhouetted. |

|
SHADOW
LIGHTING
Shadowing creates
mystique and is very similar to silhouetting. Shadowing is created
by placing the light source in front of an object, projecting an
image onto a wall or other flat vertical surface. |
 |
 |
SPOT
LIGHTING
Spotlighting
is used to project a beam of light onto interesting objects such
as statuaries, trees, buildings or shrubberies. The lighting should
not be overpowering but rather subtle and used in conjunction
with other lighting.
