Adding lighting to your hardscaping can not only enhance the aesthetics but also improve safety and functionality. These lights illuminate pathways, accentuate architectural features, and create ambiance, making landscapes more inviting and secure during evening hours.

Types of lights

Here are some common types of lights used in hardscaping:

Path Lights:

Path Lights  are usually low-level lights that provide a gentle, guiding illumination to help people navigate safely at night. Typically low to the ground, they provide safety and aesthetics by guiding individuals along pathways. Solar-powered options are eco-friendly, while LED technology ensures energy efficiency.

Deck and Step Lights:

They provide subtle illumination for decks, stairs, and pathways, reducing tripping hazards and creating a welcoming ambiance. Available in various styles, including recessed and surface-mounted, they blend seamlessly with outdoor environments, adding both beauty and functionality.

Wall Wash Lights:

 Wall wash lights are mounted on walls or other vertical surfaces to create a soft, even illumination that can highlight the texture of the hardscaping elements. Wall wash lights are fixtures designed to evenly illuminate vertical surfaces, such as walls or architectural elements, creating a soft and uniform lighting effect. 

Floodlights:

 Floodlights are used for broader area illumination and can be positioned to highlight specific hardscape features, like a water feature, a large tree, or a stone wall. They are commonly used in sports stadiums, construction sites, and outdoor events to provide ample and uniform lighting.

Smart Lighting:

 Many hardscaping lighting systems can be integrated with smart home technology, allowing you to control them remotely through a smartphone app or even with voice commands. Smart lighting elevates outdoor living experiences.

The number of lumens needed for outdoor lighting can vary widely depending on the specific outdoor area, its intended purpose, and personal preferences. Here are some general guidelines for common outdoor lighting applications:

•         For Pathway and Walkway Lighting safety and aesthetics, you typically want about 100-200 lumens per square foot. So, if your pathway is 10 square feet, you’d want a light fixture that provides 1,000-2,000 lumens.
•         Brighter lighting is typically desired for security purposes. Security lights can range from 700 to 1300 lumens or more, depending on the specific area you want to cover and the level of security you want.
•         When highlighting specific landscape features like trees or shrubs, you can use lower lumen levels, such as 50-300 lumens per fixture, depending on the size of the feature.
•         Floodlights are used for wide-area illumination and can range from 700 lumens for a small residential floodlight to several thousand lumens for larger areas.
