ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Outdoor House Lighting

Wall Sconce

Outdoor lighting sconces, wall fixtures and ground level spot lamps create a wall washing effect. Best at intervals in interplay with plantings and shrubbery, rather than overall light up, integrates with landscape creating night time intrigue. Remember accent lighting is the goal, rather than complete wall-washing illumination.

Exterior recessed fixtures, outdoor ceiling fixtures, even light pendants provide function and esthetic for covered decks, porches, cantilevers and overhangs. Soffit lighting is an effective use for recessed pots.

BACK YARD LANDSCAPE LIGHTING IDEAS

· Outdoor Patio Lighting turns decks and patios into enjoyable outdoor living spaces when lit well for night time using a variety of patio light fixtures. Use Solar or low voltage lighting around the perimeters and landscape. Add in some height variations with solar lamp posts, etc.

· For covered decks, overhead general lighting may be hardwired in. This is also an excellent place to introduce Solar Energy if you've never used it before. Overhead outdoor ceiling fans create a breeze on hot summer days. Outdoor table lamps in covered seating areas are another lighting option. Coach lanterns with candles inside are a beautiful source of cozy romantic light.

Back Yard Landscape Lighting Ideas

· Again, think of walkways, steps and other back yard functions.

· PONDS & WATERFALLS are magical at night with landscape lighting fixtures. Again low voltage and solar garden lighting systems of varying heights are excellent choices among the plantings and landscaping.

· PATIO UMBRELLA LIGHTS are fun and functional for night time dining, games and socializing.

· FLOATING SOLAR POND and pool lights are very beautiful for special occasions.

· Don’t forget those patio lanterns – there are some that can be used very nicely.

· Remember the portability of coach lanterns create cozy ambience along walkways, in seating areas and for outdoor dining.
