Types of Outdoor and Garden Lights

Garden

Includes posts with canopies 18-24 inches off the ground that reflect lights onto your planting beds. They can also be installed along walkways to act as markers.

Bullet

These are made of long, cylindrical, and compact fixtures that are fitted with bulbs to project a narrow beam of light. They are good for upward lighting of tree trunks, garden structures, and stone walls.

Wash

They throw out a soft, scattered (spread out) light. This ability to disperse light over large areas is ideal for use with flat surfaces such as garden walls and privacy fences.

Well

As the name well suggests, these lights are usually buried in the ground. It is made up of a waterproof housing that protects and hides the bulb from natural elements and other destructions.

The applications include lighting the underside of plant foliage or grazing the base of a facade.

Down-light

Down-light lighting fixtures are usually installed high overhead on either tree trunks or branches to achieve the effect of real moonlight. The bulbs are housed by a cowl-shaped shroud to prevent a side glare.

Flood

They are like bullet lights but cast a wider beam that is brighter than that of a wash light. The fixture is fitted with a collar to eliminate side glare. They are used in the lighting of wide and tall facades.

Selection of Lights for Outdoor Spaces 

  • Trees; well, flood, bullet, or down-light. Installation of a ground light should be such that the light bathes the trunk too to remove a hanging effect of the foliage. Installation of downlights should be high above in the tree and the beams should not overlap.
  • Planting beds; Use a garden light. The fixtures should be well apart (not less than 20 feet). The effect leads your eye from one plant to another.
  • Garden walls; Well, flood, or bullet lights. Fixtures are positioned close to the ground to bring out the textures of the shrubs.
  • Home facade; Wash and bullet lights. Bullet lights are installed near the edges and aimed at the corners of your house while wash lights are installed in between them to fill any remaining spaces.
  • Focal points; bullet, flood, or well lights. Elements such as pools, fountains, or arbors require attention. Aim two or more lights at them to achieve this.
