Know the basics
Before actually starting your lighting project, you need to understand the basics. Try to learn how light reacts in open areas. When it comes to lighting outdoor spaces and pathways, you need to think creatively to turn heads. Whatever you do, it should be exclusive and capable of attracting loads of attention. If you are allergic to any type of light color, you should make your plan accordingly.
Lighting issues
As we’ve already said the outdoor lighting is way different from indoor lighting. Reflection isn’t a big issue in outdoor lighting because most of the outdoor objects are dark and don’t reflect light. However, shielding and position can cause the problem.
Glare can affect your outdoor ambiance when your light source is too bright or too big. You need to know the difference between direct light and indirect light. For instance, the light you install on the top of your home’s entry door should fall directly on the objects it is directed at while giving a less-intense light to the surroundings.
Lighting placement
That’s biggie! You need to choose the right spots for lighting. The best areas you can target include but are not limited to Paths, entries, driveway, steps and patios. You can create an awesome feeling with a well-lit path.
