LANDSCAPE LIGHTING

•LANDSCAPE LIGHTING HAS EXCESSIVE POTENTIALTO ENHANCE THE LANDSCAPE AND PROVIDESMANY BENEFITS FOR BOTH
RESIDENTIAL ANDCOMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS.
•LANDSCAPE LIGHTING CAN ADD SAFETY, SECURITY,AMBIANCE, MOOD AND DRAMA TO THE OUTDOORENVIRONMENT.
LIMITED ONLY TO THE DESIGNERSIMAGINATION, THE PRACTICAL FUNCTIONS ANDVARIOUS MOOD EFFECTS OF LANDSCAPE
LIGHTINGARE ENDLESS.
•THE BASIC FUNCTION OF LIGHTING IS TO EXTEND THE HOURS IN THE DAY. VISIBLE LIGHT IS THE LIGHT THAT OUR EYES
DETECT, AND THE AIM OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING IS, ON THE WHOLE, TO PROVIDE CONDITIONS THAT APPROXIMATE NATURAL
LIGHT, SO THAT WE CAN SEE OBJECTS AT NIGHT AS WE DO DURING THE DAY.

POWER OF LIGHTING

ILLUMINATED GARDEN.
LIGHT FIXTURES
FIXTURES TYPES
THERE ARE TWO CATEGORIES OF FIXTURES: DECORATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL. DECORATIVE
FIXTURES NEED TO CONFORM TO TEST OF THE LANDSCAPE DURING THE DAY AND CAN
CONTRIBUTE TO THE LUMINOUS COMPOSITION AT NIGHT. FUNCTIONAL FIXTURES ARE USED
TO CREATE VISUAL EFFECTS THROUGHOUT THE LANDSCAPE AND ARE TYPICALLY HIDDEN
FROM VIEW. SOME FIXTURES FALL INTO OTHER CATEGORIES.

LANTERNS
LANTERNS ARE DECORATI VE FIXTURES.
THE LANTERN CATEGORY INCLUDES MANY STYLES OF TRADITIONAL FIXTURES THAT RECALL
OUTDOOR LIGHTS OF EARLIER TIMES IN HISTORY AND OF DIFFERENT CULTURES. FOR
EXAMPLE; THE JAPANESE CULTURE PRODUCED OTHER PORTABLE AND PERMANENT STONE
LANTERNS. TODAY, LANTERNS TYPICALLY PROVIDE A DECORATIVE ELEMENT IN THE GARDEN,
BUT THEY CAN ALSO ADD SOFT FILL LIGHT. SOME ARE NOT ELECTRIFIED, USING CANDLES OR
GAS TO PRODUCE LIGHT. WHEN THEY ARE ELECTRIFIED, THE WATTAGE OF LAMPS MUST BE
KEPT LOW (3-5VOLTS) TO AVOID HAVING THE LENS OR OPENING BECOME TOO BRIGHT.

EXAMPLES OF LANTERNS
POST, WALL-MOUNTED AND HANGING FIXTURES
•THE MAIN PURPOSE OF POST, WALL MOUNTED, AND HANGING FIXTURES IS VISUAL
DECORATION, BUT THEY CAN PROVIDE WALK WAY LIGHT, IDENTIFICATION, OR GENERAL
ILLUMINATION.
• POST FIXTURES ARE OFTEN USED AT A DRIVE OR WALK WAY ENTRANCE, WHILE WALL AND
HANGING FIXTURES OFTEN ADORN ENTRANCES TO BUILDINGS.
•THE WATTAGE RANGE OF INCANDESCENT SOURCES FOR RESIDENTIAL WALL MOUNTED OR
HANGING FIXTURES SHOULD BE BETWEEN 3 AND 25 WATTS. THE WATTAGE FOR POST
FIXTURES MAY BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER (UP TO 0 WATTS). COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS BELOW
3 WATTS ALSO WORK OR COMMERCIAL PROJECTS, BOTH COMPACT FLUORESCENT (2 WATTS
AND 6 BELOW) ANDID ( 0 WATTS AND 7 BELOW) SOURCES ARE USED.
BOLLARD AND PATH FIXTURES
•BOLLARDS PROVIDE TASK LIGHT FOR WALKWAYS AND CARRY A VISUAL DESIGN STYLE
THROUGH THE SITE.. TYPICALLY, BOLLARDS HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL SIZE AND STRONG
CONSTRUCTION TO WITHSTAND THE ROUGH CONDITIONS EXPERIENCED IN COMMERCIAL
PROJECTS.
•PATH FIXTURES WILL BE SMALLER IN SIZE AND MORE RESIDENTIAL IN APPEARANCE. ALL
FAMILIES OF LAMPS, INCANDESCENT, FLUORESCENT, AND HID ARE REPRESENTED IN THIS
CATEGORY. BOLLARDS TYPICALLY USE COMPACT FLUORESCENT OR LOW-WATTAGE HID
SOURCES.
• THE FLUORESCENT WATTAGES MAY BE AS HIGH AS 6 WATTS AND THE HID IN THE RANGE
OF 35 TO 70 WATTS. HOWEVER, MOST PATH LIGHT FIXTURES WILL USE EITHER
INCANDESCENT OR COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS. INCANDESCENT WATTAGES RANGE
FROM 7 TO 10 AND COMPACT FLUORESCENT FROM 5 TO 13 WATTS.
SURFACE-MOUNTED FIXTURES
•FIXTURES INTENDED TO ILLUMINATE STEPS CAN BE RECESSED INTO EITHER THE SIDEWALLS OF
STAIRS, INTO THE RISERS, OR UNDER THE NOSE OF A TREAD. THESE FIXTURES ARE OFTEN
QUITE SMALL IN ORDER TO RECESS INTO WALLS OF LIMITED THICKNESS.
• THEIR SIZE ALSO NEEDS TO RELATE TO THE SCALE OF THE STAIRS. SEVERAL MANUFACTURERS
MAKE UNITS THE SIZE OF A STANDARD BRICK SO THAT A FIXTURE CAN EASILY BE INTEGRATED
INTO A BRICK WALL. THESE FIXTURES RANGE IN WATTAGE FROM 20 WATTS (OR LESS) IN LOW -
VOLTAGE SUBCOMPACT 0 TO 6WATTS (OR SLIGHTLY HIGHER) IN A-LAMP INCANDESCENT, 5 TO
6 WATTS IN COMPACT FLUORESCENT, AND 30 TO 50 WATTS IN ID.
• DESIGNERS NEED TO EXAMINE THE FACEPLATE APPEARANCE. ANY FIXTURE WITH A LENS
WILL ATTRACT ATTENTION TO ITSELF RATHER THAN INCONSPICUOUSLY LIGHTING THE STEPS.
FIXTURES WITH LOUVRES OR SHROUDS DRAW LESS ATTENTION TO THEMSELVES, BUT
DESIGNERS SHOULD TEST THESE FIXTURES PRIOR TO SPECIFYING THEM, AS SOME CAST
LOUVRE SHADOWS.

EXAMPLES OF STEP LIGHT FIXTURES.

FACTORS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION
BRIGHTNESS
IN CREATIVE GARDEN LIGHTING, IT IS ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO AVOID GLARE, WHICH
WILL INSTANTLY RUIN AN OTHERWISE WELL-LIT SCENE. BRIGHTNESS AND GLARE,
HOWEVER, ARE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN.

A COMBINATION OF LIGHTING UNDER THE BRIDGE, UNDERWATER LIGHTING, AND UPLIGHTING

OF THE WATERFALLS BRINGS THIS SCENE TO LIFE AFTER DARK.

GLARE
GLARE IS A COMMON PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF THE LIGHT SOURCE IS ITSELF VISIBLE. THERE ARE TWO MAIN TYPES OF
GLARE:
DISCOMFORT GLARE IS THE NAME GIVEN TO THE TYPE OF LIGHT IN WHICH IT IS POSSIBLE TO PERFORM A DESIRED
FUNCTION BUT WITH SOME DEGREE OF DISCOMFORT. W E HAVE TO SQ UNIT THROUGH THE GLARE TOWARDS AN
OBJECT OR SHIELD OUR EYES WITH A HAND IN ORDER TO SEE THE ILLUMINATED AREA BELOW OR BEYOND THE GLARE.
DISABILITY GLARE IS THE TERM FOR THE LIGHT IN WHICH NORMAL VISION IS IMPOSSIBLE, AND WE MAY EVEN BECOME
DISORIENTED BECAUSE NOTHING USEFUL IS VISIBLE. IT IS OFTEN THE RESULT OF UNEXPECTED EXPOSURE TO VERY
BRIGHT LIGHTING AND IS THE THEORY BEHIND SECURITY FLOOD LIGHTING.

 1.BACKGROUND DEPTH
2.MIDGROUND
3.FOREGROUND VARYING THE AMOUNT OF BRIGHTNESS INTRODUCED INTO AREAS OF A
SCENE DETERMINES THE APPEARANCE OF DEPTH IN THE SPACE. TO
MANIPULATE DEPTH, IDENTIFY THREE ZONES IN THE SCENE:
FOREGROUND, MIDGROUND, AND BACKGROUND. THE GENERAL RULE IN
CREATING DEPTH CALLS FOR PROVIDING THE BRIGHTEST LIGHT IN THE
BACKGROUND, WITH THE FOREGROUND SECOND IN BRIGHTNESS, AND
THE MIDGROUND DARKEST. THE FOREGROUND ZONE PROVIDES THE
VISUAL TRANSPORTATION FROM THE HIGHER LIGHT LEVELS OF THE
INTERIOR SPACE TO THE DARKER ENVIRONMENT OF THE EXTERIOR.ANY
IN THIS FIRST SKETCH, THE
CIRCUMSTANCES CALL FOR BREAKING THIS GENERAL RULE:

IN EACH ZONE EITHER INCREASES OR DECREASES DEPTH IN THE COMPOSITION. HIGHEST LEVEL OF LIGHT IN THE FRONT DIMINISHES DEPTH.
HIGHEST LEVEL IN BACK EMPHASIZES DEPTH, MAKING THE SPACE FEEL LARGER. THE DRAWING SHOWS RANKING THE ZONES TO INCREASE
DEPTH.
POSITIONING
A HIGHER WATTAGE BULB DOES NOT NECESSARILY
PRODUCE A BRIGHTER EFFECT. SPOT LIGHTING BY USING A
NARROW-BEAM HALOGEN BULB WILL PRODUCE A MORE
INTENSE CIRCLE OF LIGHT THAN A WIDER BEAM OF THE
SAME WATTAGE AND A NARROW BEAM REFLECTOR MORE
TIGHTLY FOCUSES THE LIGHT. THIS NOT ONLY MAKES BEST
USE OF THE WATTAGE CAPABILITY OF A LIGHT BULB BUT
ALSO SERVES TO MAKE THE SUBJECT THAT IS BEING LIT
MORE PROMINENT THAN THE OTHER OBJECTS AROUND IT.
HIGHER WATTAGE, WIDE BEAM BULBS ARE OFTEN USED
FOR THE GENERAL ILLUMINATION OF MAJOR SHRUB
BORDERS AND SPREADING TREES, WHILE LOWER WATT
USED T O ACCENT INDIVIDUAL FEATURES.

LIGHT BULB LIFE

LIGHT BULB LIFE IS ANOTHER FACTOR TO

CONSIDER, PARTICULARLY FOR LIGHTING
THAT IS IN REGULAR USE – FOR EXAMPLE,
IF IT IS SWITCHED ON EVERY NIGHT BY A
TIMER OR PHOTOCELL. ALOGEN BULBS

BECOMING INCREASINGLY POPULAR FOR

STRING LIGHTING
MOST FAMILIAR AS THE
SMALL LIGHTS STRUNG
ON CHRISTMAS TREES,
AS THE BULB LIFE IS
QUITE SHORT. MOST
CHRISTMAS LIGHTING
PRODUCTS ARE 110
VOLTS AND ARE DESCRIBED AS BEING SUITABLE FOR
EXTERIOR USE.
A VARIATION IS ROPE LIGHTING WHERE A LIGHTING STRING
IS THREADED THROUGH A CLEAR, FLEXIBLE, PLASTIC HOSE.
THE BULB LIFE IS ALSO RELATIVELY SHORT, BUT THIS IS A
POPULAR FORM OF INEXPENSIVE OUTDOOR LIGHTING FOR
PARTIES AND OTHER FESTIVE OCCASIONS.
ROPE LIGHTING IS OFTEN WOUND AROUND THE TRUNKS OF
PALM TREES IN MIDDLE -EASTERN COUNTRIES. ROPE LIGHT
IS USUALLY A 11 -VOLT PRODUCT, SO PROPER INSTALLATION
OUTSIDE IS ESSENTIAL, AND USE NEAR WATER IS NOT
ADVISED.
LONG-LIFE STRING LIGHTING IS A MORE PERMANENT
DISPLAY. THE MOST STYLISH WAY OF USING STRING
LIGHTING IS TO ACHIEVE AN OUTLINING EFFECT ON A TREE
WITH A LESS DENSE CANOPY.
TAPE LIGHTING
OUTLINING HAS FURTHER DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE LINEAR
LIGHTING IN A MORE EASILY CONCEALED STRIP FORMAT.
THE CONDUCTORS ARE CONTAINED WITHIN A FLAT,
INSULATED PLASTIC TAPE, WHICH CAN BE FIXED TO FLAT
SURFACES OR IN MINIATURE VERSIONS WHERE THE LIGHT
STRING IS CONCEALED WITHIN PLASTIC OR METAL STRIP FOR
FIXING UNDER STEPS, FOR EXAMPLE.
FIBRE OPTIC LIGHTING
IT IS A NEW TECHNOLOGY. IT IS AVAILABLE IN TWO FORMS:
SIDE -EMITTING AND END-EMITTING. SIDE-EMITTING FIBER
IS USED FOR OUTLINING. END-EMITTING FIBER-OPTIC
LIGHTING IS USED TO PROVIDE A PINPOINT OF LIGHT OR TO
PROJECT A BEAM OF LIGHT ON A SUBJECT. IT IS RELATIVELY
EXPENSIVE FOR WIDE-SPREAD USE IN DOMESTIC GARDENS.
THE FACT THAT THE FIBER-OPTIC CABLE CARRIES NO HEAT
OR ELECTRICITY, WHICH MAKES IT VERY USEFUL IN WATER
FEATURES. ONLY ONE BULB NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR A
WHOLE LIGHTING ARRAY, AND A COLOUR-WHEEL OPTION
MEANS THAT CHANGING COLOUR EFFECTS CAN BE
ACHIEVED FAIRLY SIMPLY, IF RE UIRED. POPULAR UPLIGHTING FROM BELOW
APPLICATIONS INCLUDE OUTLINING AROUND THE EDGE OF GALVANIZED MESH
A POOL AND ACCENT LIGHTING WITHIN COMPLEX WATER REFLECTS FROM MIRRORS

WIRING APPROACHES FOR LANDSCAPE LIGHTING
THE BASIC GUIDELINE FOR WIRING STARTS WITH CIRCUIT LOAD. THE TOTAL LOAD THAT CAN BE ATTACHED TO A WIRE DEPENDS ON THE WIRE CAPACITY, THE
SYSTEM VOLTAGE, AND THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS SIZE (IN AMPERES) BACK AT THE MAIN PANEL. ADDITIONALLY, THE NEC REQUIRES THAT NO CIRCUIT BE
LOADED MORE THAN 8 0 PERCENT. ON A 20-VOLT CIRCUIT, THE BREAKER WILL TYPICALLY BE EITHER 15 OR 20 AMPERES. TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE 80
PERCENT LOADING RESTRICTION, THIS TRANSLATES INTO A TOTAL LOAD OF EITHER 1440 OR 1980 WATTS.
PRIOR TO LAYING OUT THE WIRING
APPROACH, DETERMINE WHICH FIXTURES
WILL BE CONTROLLED TOGETHER AND
