Everything natural is beautiful, true, but man's creativity enables us to realize nature in its true splendor even when nature dissolves in the dark, hiding its glorious beauty from human vision. Landscape lighting is one such garden art that unveils the beauty of nature to our senses and adds to the appearance of homes. Creativity apart, professional landscape lighting also serves as a smart precautionary measure to keep trespassers at bay after dark.
Types of Background Illumination. Up illumination-This type of background illumination is used when illumination is to be focused on specific background elements- plant beds, shrubs, potted plants, trees tops, etc., . As the name of the technique indicates, the path of illumination is ascending with the sources appropriately placed to shed enough light creating an attractive and appealing ambiance. Down illumination- In Down illumination, the illumination is focused downward, showering light on the target background element from above.
Background illumination fixtures can be plugged into the mains via a plug and play system using low voltage illumination. There is no need for an electrician to install them, almost anybody can do it. You may also wish to choose to install solar background lights.
Exterior lighting fixtures come in some different styles - mural, lantern, column, and pedestal. There are also background lights that are fitted to a chain or installed on a bracket. Some of them are more traditional and create a Victorian atmosphere. Others are more modern. Some serve to create atmosphere, others are more festive. Some exterior lights are used to simply light the way to the house or the porch.
Area Illumination- Area Illumination focuses on the desired area. Flood lights or spot lights are used to illuminate larger areas such as playgrounds, patios, etc., or areas that require more illumination. They also serve as security illumination protecting your home from trespassers.

Your average high for accent/spot lights runs about 20 watts. Is that enough? Commercially purchased single units run 20+ watt bulbs for border and path lights and 35+ watts for accent and spot lights, you may get the picture that, for some applications, the lights included in some kits are simply too dim.
Background lights that combine decoration and security can be installed in the garden. These will switch on automatically, activated by a movement sensor.
