" Spotlights "

Garden spotlights have a narrow, focused beam and are commonly used to illuminate a specific plant or individual garden feature. When looking to light your garden use small direct spotlights. Plants look great when lighted. Garden spot lighting creates a dramatic effect when used to light up trees, large shrubs, statues and architectural features. It's especially beautiful for light falling snow and autumn leaves.

Spotlights can illuminate sculpture and fountains. Can-type spotlight may be mounted under a roof to illuminate patios and walkways. Wall-mounted barbecue area lighting can enhance after-hours entertaining. You can use a low-voltage pin spotlight to illuminate a garden pond and waterfall under an exterior wall. Spotlights can be staked into the ground or mounted to standard outdoor fixture boxes for installations on walls, trees or posts.

Spotlighting used sparingly to pick out larger plants, trees, statues and architectural features, this technique can produce a most dramatic effect. The effect is particularly compelling if used to highlight features that have natural movement, such as fountains. The technique uses focused and typically more intense light sources. Extend your garden time and backyard fun with outdoor lighting. By lighting certain areas of your garden, you control not only how your garden is perceived but also how it is used at night. Create the effect you want in your night garden with spotlight.

Motion controlled single fixture spotlights are designed for incandescent bulbs and are inexpensive. Spotlights pre-wired to a cable can be used to illuminate landscape features. Fixtures vary from small plastic bulb housings to sealed, low profile enclosures for high-efficiency bulbs. Artificial rock fixtures are also available to completely hide landscape lighting.

Lights enhance a finished landscape by bringing out subtle design elements such as the gorgeous structure of a specimen tree, the curves of a gently lit path or shadows of a shapely winter bush reflected on a wall. Lighting adds atmosphere to an evening garden allowing access at anytime. At night your landscape can wear a different face and have a totally different look from its daytime look.
