SpanishA good courtyard lighting layout not only highlights the natural features of the landscape but also establishes a visual connection with the living space. Well-matched light invites people to linger and will make sense to bathe outdoor lounges and dining areas in a cozy glow.
Sotllot New Energy will introduce the following 6 garden lighting methods to help homeowners refine lighting and use the right lighting fixtures to further create a unique garden landscape.
1. Arrange stereo lighting
Stereoscopic lighting refers to the use of multiple lights to achieve multi-dimensional spatial effects.
In this arrangement, we must first understand the spatial distribution of light: a part is illuminated by the upper light, and a part is illuminated by the lower light. These lights come from the eaves, walls, ground, deck, and water respectively. Beams that are perpendicular or cross each other add depth to the space and make the courtyard appear wider and larger than really is.
Second, understand the shades of light: light in bright areas and light in dark areas. Homeowners can use different shades of lights or combine different types of lights to help homeowners create various emotional atmospheres so that the homeowner’s courtyard space presents a rich layering and artistic sense.
Stereo lighting enables homeowners to move around in any area of the yard and always see light surrounding them.
Polar up and down spot light facade lighting emphasizes the width, depth, and height of the homeowner’s house bringing out the texture of the facade of the villa’s exterior wall and creating a beautiful art wall.
2. Emphasize branches and textures
Different plants have different structural, shape, and textural characteristics.
Homeowners can enhance the beauty of their yard landscape by using spotlights or floodlights to create an eye-catching effect for trees. Homeowners can consider accent lighting from the following two perspectives.
Highlight tree shapes and branches: express the spine and lines of trees, especially in winter, the lights will make those bare trees full of life.
Highlight detailed textures: If a homeowner has bamboo growing in their yard, this would make a great lighting object. Bamboo’s ring-shaped knots and needle-shaped leaves provide a nice textural element to the landscaping, making the surrounding environment appear clean and grace.
Even trees without leaves can be the protagonists of a homeowner’s garden. Use polar spot lights to make interesting trees stand out in the landscape.
3. Shape the background light
Backlighting can add interest, depth, and color to a space, here are two ways:
Backlighting: Creates a backlight for an object by shining light from behind, creating a glowing effect. This works especially well if the homeowner’s yard has a neat row of trees or potted plants.
Frontal illumination: cast the light on the wall and illuminate the object from the front, which can create a bright and transparent background wall. This effect is often used in the Water Wall Fountain of high-end hotels, restaurants, and resorts, which makes people feel interested and attractive.

4. Increase the brightness of the active area
Lighting can be used to define the perception of day and night.
A reminder to work during the day and a reminder to relax at night. But for many people, nighttime is also a time of activity.
Lighting helps the body stay awake and active, and bright lighting allows homeowners to move around safely. By adding brightness to the yard, homeowners can have more outdoor activities on cool summer nights, such as dining, reading, walking the dog, playing basketball, and playing with the children in the yard.

5. Use tint to change temperature perception
Light can make people have different temperature perceptions.
An icy white light, ideal for accentuating sharp architectural details, and a warm amber light, similar to a fireside glow, for a warmer feel.
If homeowners want their yards to look cooler in the summer, cool white lights can be used to illuminate water feature rocks, light-colored walls, and tall, leafy plants. If the homeowner wants to add warmth to the winter, the homeowner can use warm white light to illuminate yellow, orange, red, and other colorful plants, or use colored lights to decorate the courtyard to enhance the lively atmosphere.
Decorate the house with smart outdoor light strips in winter, and the house will look warm and cozy even in a cold environment.
6. Use light to change the perspective of the scene
Lighting has the power to change the perspective of a scene.
Beautiful lighting draws the eye and encourages homeowners to move from the indoors to the outdoors.
At this time, the homeowner will think of moving the indoor dining room to the outdoor terrace, moving the indoor living room to the outdoor pergola, or moving the focus of sight to the pond or garden to inspire people to discover more vivid and interesting spaces.
