Landscape Lighting Techniques by Focus Industries
  AREA LIGHTING
Fills in low level areas of a landscape with light, and may be used to define perimeters, highlight areas of interest and provide a margin of safety along pathways.
  DOWN LIGHTING
Can high light interesting textures, greenery or statuary. It simulates natural lighting, coming from above.
  BARBECUE LIGHTINGis the elegant alternative to a flashlight and is indispensible to the outdoor chef.
HANGING LIGHTING is a decorative way to illuminate an outdoor area, such as a patio, deck, eave, awning or archway.
 
SHADOWING
will cast a shadow of a foreground object onto a vertical structure behind. Placing the fixture nearer to the object will cast a larger shadow behind.
SILHOUETTING
lights are placed behind an object with interesting structure and best results are obtained when the light is focused onto a vertical surface.
SPOT LIGHTING
ultilizes a tight cone of light to isolate specimen objects or to generate interesting textures from greenery focusing on key elements creating high contrast.
FLOOD LIGHTING
is similar to spot lighting, except it ultilizes a broader spread of light for coverage over a larger area.
PATH LIGHTING
is used to illuminate a safe avenue along a walkway. It may also be used to highlight ground cover and perimeters.
