Decorative and functional site lighting

⠀🔅 Functional lighting. ⠀
Its tasks are simple and clear. If decorative lighting is used far from every suburban area, then it is impossible to do without general lighting. When illuminating all important elements in order to increase the safety of movement around the territory, it is worth remembering that accents in lighting should be put on arbors, patios, houses and other buildings - garden paths should not be flooded with too bright light, otherwise walking along them will experience great discomfort. The most illuminated place on the site is the facade of the house and the porch: it will be more comfortable to move from less lighted areas to brighter. It is important that even late at night functional lighting allows you to see the boundaries of the site. ⠀

✳ It is also necessary to highlight bridges, stairs, borders and other most dangerous objects. Along the tracks, the luminaires must be evenly spaced. The light sources can be lanterns, floor lamps with diffusers made of frosted glass, bright spotlights, spherical lamps and other elements. ⠀

🔅 Decorative lighting ⠀
It is necessary for recreation areas and objects that you want to admire even after dark. Typically, flower beds, trees, shrubs, fountains, ponds, alpine slides, garden sculptures, as well as arbors, patios and benches are provided with additional illumination. Decorative lighting complements the main and gives a dim light, creating a romantic and slightly mysterious atmosphere. There are a lot of ways to organize it - it all depends on the style of the site and the owner’s imagination. ⠀

✳ In order not to be mistaken with the choice of style of fixtures for the site, you can use a simple rule. The more elaborate and many-sided landscape design of the garden, the more simple and concise should be the lighting items. If the style of the site is close to minimalism, then you can use lamps of the most bizarre and non-standard forms, focusing on decorating the garden on them.
