What to Know About Landscape Lighting

Home improvement trends come and go, and one trend that has become wildly popular in recent years is recognizable in yards every night Landscape lighting has transfor med how people see and enjoy their properties at night, making it one of the more sought-after upgrades among moder n homeowners

Are there different types of landscape lighting?

When considering landscape lighting, homeowners should know that there are various options to consider According to the lighting experts at Lumens, spotlights project a concentrated and narrow beam of light that’s usually around 45 degrees Spotlights are often chosen to highlight specific features on a property, like a component of the landscaping Individuals who want to cast light over wider, more general areas may consider floodlights, which Lumens notes spread light up to 120 degrees

Inground lighting is among the more sophisticated landscape lighting options Lumens notes that inground lighting illuminates the whole of a tree or structure, often creating a dramatic look These circle-shaped lights also are great at illuminating walkways and driveways
