Why We Love Landscape Lighting
Landscape lights allow you to continue to enjoy the beauty of your yard even when it's dark out. And it can even make your landscape more dramatic, with well-placed outdoor spotlights and washes casting intriguing shadows and highlighting the best plants, water features with underwater lights and other aspects. While focusing attention on your landscape's most important details, landscape lighting also helps people to safely traverse across it with path lighting and deck lighting guiding the way.
Where Outdoor Landscape Lighting Works Best
Most outdoor landscape lighting is unobtrusive, designed to discretely illuminate and keep the landscape at the center of attention. As such, outdoor landscape lighting fixtures are best hidden within bushes or rock formations and properly oriented to highlight the leaves in a tall tree or wash up a textural wall. Arrange glare-free downlights -- specifically path lighting or deck and patio lighting -- at regular intervals to ensure safe travel along pathways and up and down stairs. Backyard ponds benefit from underwater lights, while in-ground lights provide an elegant, warm glow. With the right selection of fixtures, you'll have no problem highlighting your landscape.

How to Choose the Best Landscape Light Fixtures
Depending on the area in your yard, you'll find a different purpose for each style of landscape lighting. While path lights are ideal for grassy areas and gardens, well lights are the perfect option for a light source that sits flush with the ground. And bollard lights are the ideal solution for large landscapes, often found in commercial spaces and big, open backyards. Landscape lights are also available in different voltages - 12 volt and 120 volt. You'll need to determine the application of your landscape lighting and make sure you have the right voltage you need.
