Types of Landscape Lighting:

1. Accent Lighting:

Focusing and directing light at objects or areas of interest to enhance and highlight their look.

3. In-ground/In-grade:

Accent lights placed in-grade to highlight walkways, steps or areas around pools.

4. Mini Flood/Wall Washer:

Small, intense lights used to highlight trees or accent features on walls or buildings.

5. Path Lighting:

Small bollards that help light pathways while adding great esthetic look.

6. Step Lighting:

Low voltage lighting that is used to accent and beautify stairs or steps.

7. Underwater:

In-grade lighting that is rated for applications in or under water. Pools, waterfalls and ponds are the main application.

Traditional incandescent products are not energy efficient, have poor bulb life, and are limited in color temperatures.

2.) Cost & Complexity

Higher-end LED systems can be expensive and require programming and detailed design.

3.) Longevity

Landscape lighting products require annual maintenance to keep the system looking great.
