Light up your house this summer!

Whether you are looking for lighting to suit a specific event or to decorate your garden all year round, there is no shortage of choice available to you. Light Gallery Plus boasts a huge collection of decorative and functional lighting features to brighten up your outdoor environment. Think of what you want lit and how best to light it. Consider these basic lighting techniques:

• Uplighting: Good for highlighting a tree – a bare tree in winter can be dramatic. Also called wall-washing when you light up a wall.
• Downlighting or Moonlighting: Casts a smooth glow and is perfect for entry courtyards and in landscaping.
• Spread or Path lighting: Used to create pools of light along a walkway or driveway or in a planter bed for visual appeal. Best when staggered; avoid that landing-strip look.
• Backlighting or Silhouette lighting: A special effect that lights a background, such as a wall, and causes the object in front to appear as a silhouette.
• Shadowing: An effect that lights the front of an object and casts its shadow onto a wall behind it.
