Light bulbs for garden
The easiest way to create outdoor lighting on any territory is to use the same type of lamps and standard options for their placement. They are ideal for functional lighting tracks, sites and main alley of gardens. Satih plots should begin to create a light script. Forward the queue, determine the most important alleys and tracks, which overlook the view from the window, from the side of the driveway, from the arbor. If the garden is not so great so that all these factors should be taken into account, you can start with the lighting of the path leading from the gate to the house.

Traditional reception - coverage of alley, tracks and paths with high decorative lanterns, modern or retro style. The low lighting device in winter can be listed in the snow to the very top, and it is not always possible to clean daily tracks in the country. High lights for general lighting, placed along the tracks, create the effect of the light tunnel, quite equally poured around the surrounding area. Pay attention to the intersection of tracks and drops of heights and determine which places need clear symmetry, and where you can place the lanterns in the "creative disorder." Successfully selected lamps at night illuminate the garden, and in the afternoon they become its additional decoration.
Such lighting is a significant disadvantage: lights, as a rule, emit direct light, and the brightness of the lamps in the field of view is usually very high. Simplifies There are even a special term: "The indicator of discomfort from brightness of glitter sources." To lamps do not blind eyes, a special reflector is used in the design of the lamps, redistributing the light stream in space. The matte coating applied to the diffusers, significantly reduces the brilliance (the property of excessively intensive light irritations to adversely affect vision). As a result, the light becomes soft, the shadows lose sharpness, the contrast decreases. Decorative lamps with such characteristics are more suitable for the partner part of the garden (of course, if the design of these lighting devices corresponds to the overall architectural solution of the house and other buildings). Sweet and at the same time, single lanterns look at the small stand, as well as double along the alleys in the garden in combination, for example, with a wall lamp from the same collection attached at the entrance to the house. High lamps are usually placed along the tracks (than it is wider, the higher the lantern should be). The distance between the lanterns can be from two to three to five to eight of their heights.
According to the uncommitable rule, the more light sources are used, the better the whole garden looks like. However, the abundance of garden lamps increases electricity costs. In addition to the specific situation, such expenses can be 5, and 50 kWh in one night. Solves on solar panels will be solved this problem. These devices are able to illuminate the area over the night, and at dawn the sensor will turn off the lamp, and it will be charged during the daylight. We will give only one recommendation: it is desirable to install them in open places that are maximally lit by the sun.

For lighting driveways, sports and playgrounds, lamps with reflected light are perfect. The tracks are not bad to emphasize with the help of cantilever luminaires (the lamps are shined strictly down in them). For narrow paths, small devices are suitable with halogen lamps (they can be hidden in roadside bushes). Larger all-size and compact fluorescent lamps are usually used. Economical solution for night lighting area of the site - LEDs.
Important sources
The light source plays an equally significant role than the luminaire itself (the latter distributes light in space), as it determines the quality of light. It is very important to use a lamp garden to illuminate the garden with good color reproduction - this allows you to admire the seasonal color of the plants every year. The color temperature ("cold" lamps emphasize the juicing of greenery, and in the light of "warm" plants look yellowish). You must also forget about the economy and service life of light sources.

Light attraction
The light is very expressive and can cause a variety of emotions. One movement - and the light scene acquires a spectacular depth. A well-selected luminous point - and the composition gets a well-noticeable structure. AMASTERSKI DRIVED A RULE OF TREEVES Helps to bring a dynamics and rhythm into space ... A mood appears in the garden, and exactly what you yourself dreamed of creating.At the same years, optical fiber cables, LED garlands and neon lamps of futuristic colors are used for artistic landscape illumination, which allows the garden to turn the garden to the real attraction. Along the tracks, the luminous fencing of bizarre forms are drawn, on the lawns "grow" the mushrooms emitting, the multicolored neon butterflies "grow" above the grass, and in the crowns of trees, the Miriada Fireflies flashes. All are suitable for installation on the walls and to decorate the tracks. However, it is not necessary to count on bright light from them - these are just decorative lamps.
Always in the post!
It is much easier to work with functional luminaires. Think over which areas of the site will serve for recreation (including active), pedestrian motion, as well as for communication and picnics. Select lighting techniques for each of the zones, lighting modes (duty / casual / festive, summer / winter, evening / night), lines (groups of lamps that are supposed to be included autonomously).
The defining factor in creating functional lighting is a full and safe use of the territory at night. Denote the steps of stairs, the so-called light markers with LEDs will help the heights and terraces. The marking light will be quite enough to illuminate the tracks - it shows the direction of movement and creates an additional decorative effect. Built into the soil lamps at night perfectly perform their tasks, and during the day they do not interfere with admire the beauty of the landscape.
Functional lamps are usually cheaper than decorative. The devices whose light is directed from the bottom up, give some kind of zone some theatricality and drama, and those that shine on the side, better emphasize the form of the illuminated object. It is extremely simple, but thanks to this, the lamps "Stakes" look especially stylish. Their advantage is that they allow them to do without cumbersome mortgage elements, concreting and related building problems. A full-fledged high-quality lighting system consisting of, for example, from mini-miners, can be mounted in 1-2 days. Keep in mind: In one collection there may be "columns", a wall lamp and lights, which greatly simplifies the problem of choice.

How to light the flower garden?
The lantern will not allow to create an emphasis on the flower bed: the light is evenly broken through the territory, and at the same time the illumination of flower beds may be insufficient. It is often necessary to obtain glowing points of small size and low brightness: for example, for the lighting of flower beds, in which marble crumbs and lake pebbles are used, as well as to create a "starry sky under the legs". Optical fiber and LED technologies help stars among marble crumbs. The transformation occurs at night: a weak glow of crystals scattered chaotic or evenly, in accordance with the flower bed geometry, creates an interesting image. The center of flower beds can be used to use "light columns". Since the height of these devices above the surface of the Earth is small, they do not provide lighting as such, but perform the function of the light marker.
Trees and shrubs are constantly growing, so the possibility is important to adjust the direction of the light beam. For summer lighting, trees do not recommend using colored lamps. In contrast, these plants will look unnaturally monochrome and will lose the wealth of natural seasonal paints. When going to buy lamps, do not forget to choose the right color temperature. For embedded luminaires, high-quality drainage of the site should be carried out. If there is water on the territory, prepare for troubles: in summer, the automatic lighting system will malfunctions, and in winter ice can generally push the lamp on the surface.

Backlight of trees
If the tree has a thick, opaque crown, the lamp is installed in a certain distance from it so that the light poured the crown outside. The device can also be accommodated in close proximity to the tree and send inside the transparent crown to highlight the leaves. High pyramidal trees (for example, spruce) illuminate spotlights from a distance of 5-10m, and one of them emphasizes the texture of the trunk, and the other is the form of the crown. To illuminate a tree with a thick rounded crown, the lamp can also be arranged at a sufficient distance from it.At the same time, it is necessary to avoid the appearance of bright spots on the foliage. A successful solution is the use of the lighting device adjustable in height. The vest trees are illuminated from the bottom - it is easier to install lamps. Lighting from above is less contrast, which makes a favorable emotional impression. At the top backlight, separate fragments of the composition and seasonal color of the plants are better distinguished. From the distance between the instrument and the object depends on how much it will be possible to select the relief of the barrel, transfer the wood texture. Sliding light is very expressive when illuminated by alive hedges from shrubs. The volume of foliage on the bushes and trees emphasizes the "intelligent" light into it. On the branches of the tree placed garlands with small light bulbs, light guides with side luminescence or light cables. Although the latter can destructively influence the development of the tree itself, since light cables with incandescent lamps are strongly heated when working.
Games with water
Thanks to the wonderful optical properties of water, the coverage of waterfalls, streams, fountains and ponds allows you to create amazing effects. When organizing a light scene of a find, even a simple reflection of an interesting composition of trees in a reservoir mirror can become even a simple reflection. Current or falling water can be highlighted from the inside. When working with water, flexible fiber light guides are used, which are safe due to the complete absence of contacting the current-carrying parts with moisture. Single filters, colored lamps, LEDs and optical fiber Easy to "paint" light and create unusual light mice.
Opinion of a specialist
Outdoor lighting of the house and garden is an art in which the use of technologies is combined with a plan of a landscape designer, taking into account the natural beauty of plants. Lamps in the garden should solve practical tasks: it is possible to freely move on the site, light house and technical premises, as well as be safe to use. Modern LED lamps save up to 80% of electricity, and also allow you to gradually reduce the level of brightness depending on the time of day. When buying, pay attention to the degree of protection of the IP is the tightness of the case. High IP (44-65) guarantees a long service life, allows not to pass moisture and dust.
