Landscape Lighting vs. Architectural Lighting
Give Your Property the Beauty it Deserves
When it comes to beautifying your property, there are different lighting strategies and ideas that will bring your home to life. Both landscape lighting and architectural lighting can make your home look beautiful, improve safety, and create a fun and inviting outdoor atmosphere. However, while the two terms are often used interchangeably, they are quite different.
What is architectural lighting?
Often used to describe the design of lighting systems, the term ‘architectural lighting’ refers strictly to lighting building exteriors. The primary purpose for lighting up the exterior of a building is to make it look nice. Before installing them, there must be a plan on where they will be installed and how they will look. There are also some things that should be considered before installing architectural lighting:
- Make sure that fixtures look consistent between different structures on the property.
- Figure out exactly how much illumination is needed; too much or too little can both be equally disastrous.
- Make sure that growing plants won’t someday impede the architectural lights.
- Do our best to disguise lights and help them blend into their surroundings.
- Strategically placing them behind manageable shrubs or bushes can bring them to life.
- Coordinate architectural lighting with landscape lighting, as both lend illumination to help enjoy your outdoor space.
- Use high quality light fixtures.
What is landscape lighting?
Landscape lighting refers to the light systems designed to illuminate landscaping and outdoor spaces. Landscape lighting includes footpaths, gardens, patios, walkways, swimming pool areas, outside decks, and even the front porch light. The secret to landscape lighting is indirect light, but just like architectural lighting, there are things that must be considered before installing landscape lighting:
- Placement of lights.
- Size of lights.
- Whether incorporating certain types of lights is necessary.
- Will your lighting incorporate well with the other features and amenities of your home.
