When it comes to landscape lighting, many people may think it only applies to buildings, but it is not limited to that. For example, garden landscape lighting is also an important aspect. Below, I will introduce the types of lighting and the selection of commonly used light sources in garden landscape lighting design.

Types of lighting in garden landscape lighting design:

This lighting system is generally divided into functional lighting and landscape lighting. The former usually refers to the design of courtyard lights and lawn lights responsible for road lighting; the latter refers to the design of lighting for specific architectural features, landscapes, and trees according to garden requirements.

1. Regarding road lighting. The appropriate fixtures should be selected based on the width of the road. The light source for courtyard lights is generally energy-saving lamps, while metal halide lamps are used at intersections. The lighting in parking lots within parks generally uses courtyard lights with metal halide lamps as the light source.

2. Regarding landscape lighting. The fixtures generally include stone lights, wall lights, tree lights, buried decorative lights, underwater lights, bench lights, step lights, decorative light poles, and spotlighting for pavilions, etc. In the design, it is necessary to select the appropriate power and type of fixtures based on the specific conditions of the illuminated objects and actual requirements, and ensure safe and reliable installation.

Selection of commonly used light sources in garden landscape lighting design:

Stone lights are generally installed with metal halide lamps on the ground.

Wall lights use metal halide lamps and are installed underground.

The power and color of the light source should be determined based on the height and color of the wall.

Tree lights use metal halide lamps and can be installed underground on paved surfaces or as ground-mounted fixtures in green areas.

The light source color is white, and they can be installed on the front or side of the steps depending on the different heights of the steps.

Decorative light poles generally use ceramic metal halide lamps or high-pressure sodium lamps, with a white light source, set around the square for landscape lighting.

Spotlights for pavilions use metal halide lamps, with a white light source, installed at the edge of the top of the pavilion.
