As the landscaping complements the architecture creating visually pleasing landscapes, nice also for the welfare, lighting complements the landscaping and architecture. And to use the garden or courtyard in the evening requires a good lighting design that enhances the space. The lighting will emphasize not only the beauty but will also provide reassurance.

To make a garden lighting project, the first step is to keep the space ready or preferably a landscaping project. With it we can see the plant species and sizes of them, and this myth is important to know because each type of bulb will also make a different effect, such as flares more closed or more open beams illuminate an entire crown of a tree.

Knowing the ways of access to be able to define a type of lamp that can mark out that path in this case the luminaire can not be a strong light, as its name implies, has to mark out and no dazzle the eyes of who is walking in place.

Also very careful when it comes to designing for not putting out spot of light on everything and not have the thoroughness create highlights, and theatrical background figure. And you think in a green plant, too, is that we can not harm their photosynthesis process so you must determine what you want to illuminate and make an assessment of energy consumption.

Okay, now let's go to the most practical:
The first step as we said above, is to have a landscaping project defined, species, heights and textures Image Source Site Landscaping Brazil .

The second step is knowing what is in the market for lighting fixtures and lamps that can assist you in designing and expected effect. I selected some types of fixtures that can be used, but this is a tiny research, because today we have a wide variety of types, finishes and effect.

Lamp on the left is a source of surface and ground, the lamp on the left is popularly called spit, its advantage is the articulation of the direction of light. Image source site Interlight .

On the left is a type of projector with internal reflector, with light beam long-range, and the right to a lamp post and when needed a general light and security. Image source site Interlight .

I made a selection of pictures of gardens ready to serve with the illumination of inspiration.

In this case the illumination is directed at the tree and shrubs, thus creating more volume to the element. Image Source Magazine L + D .

The light is directed toward the stem and crown of palms in order to achieve this purpose it is necessary that the lamp has a more closed angle possible, so that it is a concentrated beam of light. Image source site Light Design . J

Already in this case the light beam is directed into the trunk of the trees and reflected more light on the circulation area of the pool. Image source site Light Design .

The light became statuesque in this case, we can see that the bush is small, but when the light beam is directed to the plant it creates a shadow on a much larger scale in the back wall. When you have a small shrub can be used lamp par 20, and have the flexibility of targeting the luminaire is recommended a skewer. In the mirror I imagine that the ladder was used to mark embedded with LED access. Image source site in Interlight .

To this effect can be used with ground source Par 20, or LED. Image source site Home & garden .

The professional who designed this space preferred reverse the beam, reversing the effect that the light is not directed to the plant, but to the back wall. And with that has created more emphasis on plant and forming a bottom wall bamboo figure. Image Source sit and La Lampe.
