Lighting design is the creation of an artificial lighting environment applicable to both architecture and landscape.


Nature itself has made it so that a person needs artificial lighting for a significant part of his time. And if we have been familiar with functional, i.e. necessary for life, lighting for a long time (lighting of streets or roads), then the aesthetic content of the concept of "lighting design" became possible only with the widespread development of light sources and especially LED
Remember that it is the illuminated places in the city that create a greater sense of safety than dark alleys. A beautiful building attracts attention not only during the day but also at night due to its illumination. And what New Year can do without festive illumination?
All these tasks and goals are applicable not only to the urban environment, but also to your home and garden. Lighting of paths, trails, stairs, passages and driveways will make movement safer. Architectural lighting of the house will highlight it and make returning home more emotional. A garden illuminated in the right way will not get lost after sunset, but on the contrary will give new emotions and impressions.
Of course, the main light dominant of the site most often becomes the house. Even the most ordinary building without architectural delights can be transformed by lighting: contour lighting to form a general pattern, accent lighting to highlight certain elements, or dynamic lighting to create a three-dimensional light picture.
The second most necessary lighting area is paths, and this is logical, because our entire stay on the site is associated with movement. The most popular way to illuminate the paths of movement is small columnar lamps called bollards (from the English "pole"). It is mandatory, for safety, to illuminate any differences in height: stairs, descents and retaining walls
Whether to illuminate or backlight the fence is up to each individual to decide. But eye-pleasing lighting design will improve the external perception of the site, and sometimes will allow you to illuminate the area adjacent to the house - not everywhere has street lighting yet
It is necessary to illuminate reservoirs or approaches to them, regardless of whether this object is artificial or natural. It is necessary to illuminate the contour of the reservoir, approaches to it and the water surface if desired. For such purposes, of course, it is necessary to use special lamps
Well, the most spectacular, but also the most difficult lighting zone is all those green spaces that are on the site, from flower beds to trees. The best solution is chosen based on the overall design of the site, lighting tasks, types of vegetation and many other factors. But the result is undoubtedly worth it to make plant lighting

The best result will be achieved if the design and installation of lighting equipment is done by professionals. It should be borne in mind that lighting equipment can have high voltage and, if the lamps are chosen incorrectly or if the installation is poor, it can cause dangerous injuries. Also, buying any lamp you like and spontaneously placing it on the site will never give the desired effect, since there are a huge number of parameters calculated for a specific task: luminous flux, brightness, illumination, color temperature, light intensity curve and other parameters that must be taken into account when calculating and selecting light sources.


Practical advice
  • The main rule of lighting design is that the light source should not be visible! Any lamp in which you see the light source will blind more than illuminate.
  • A lamp that illuminates "itself" is quite a common phenomenon. Therefore, when choosing a lamp and its installation location, always answer the question: what do I want to illuminate?
  • Choose light sources with a uniform color temperature for the entire area. If in doubt, choose neutral, from 2700-4000K (2700-4000 Kelvin)
  • Always illuminate stairs and other hazardous areas, as well as water features.
  • Be sure to choose lamps intended for the street, pay attention to the IP index. It is desirable to have a value of at least 65
  • If your lights have removable light sources, buy them at once with a double supply
  • Never waste money on solar powered lights
  • Buy a portable flashlight with different beam types or color temperatures. Walk around the area, setting it up on different sides of trees or bushes, directing the light in different directions or from different heights. This way, you can roughly determine what and how can be illuminated on the site, and it will be easier for you to select the appropriate equipment.
  • If you decide to install a 220 V lighting system on your property, please contact a specialist. The risk is not worth the savings.
