What types of lighting do we use?

UP-LIGHTING is a technique that is utilized frequently by Columbia SC landscape lighting designers to emphasize a particular feature in the yard. Suitable subjects for this technique include open structured, ornamental trees, Japanese maples, and dogwoods. The light fixtures will be shielded from view to avoid glare.

DOWN LIGHT is used if you have an abundance of mature trees in your garden, we can install lights high up in the canopy above branches and leaves. This will cast interesting shadows down onto the surrounding areas while at the same time, creating an inviting level of illumination in the surrounding area.

BACK LIGHT involves positioning a light in the same plane as an interestingly textured surface such as a brick or stone wall. This light will bring out the texture while providing reflected light into the surroundings.

PATHWAY LIGHT provides a soft subtle light for the walkway or stairway. The fixtures protrude about 20" above ground and are usually made of solid brass.

LOW VOLTAGE

By far the most suitable lighting systems for installation in the garden environment, are known as LOW VOLTAGE. These are normally 12 volts and are therefore inherently safe. Not only are they more economical to install, they grow and develop with the garden.

Lighting

Low profile lights or landscaping lights give subtle illumination around the perimeter, and underwater and fiber optic lights can give swimmers a colorful underwater display.

Lighting not only enables the pool to be used during the evening, but in most cases in is integral to the overall decorative design of a pool. Lighting can be built in your pool during installation, although some you can add on to an already existing in or above-ground model.

Underwater lighting consists of light fixtures placed underwater either in the floor or walls of the pool. Underwater lights are made with strong and resistant glass and often use halogen or incandescent bulbs. Underwater lighting rims can be made of stainless steel, plastic or chrome. They are offered in different volt and watt options and feature different cord lengths. Some prefer underwater lighting for its exceptional ability to offer a lot of lighting to a pool.

Solar lights work by capturing the sun's energy and as a result they do not use any costly electricity. Some are floatable while others have a long post similar to a torch that you simply put in the ground. Solar lighting often uses batteries and is offered in a variety of different designs and colors. Fiber optic lighting has become an increasingly popular choice for many as it truly gives a pool extra panache.

Fiber optic lights run through a cable that can be placed underwater or surround the pool's rim. The cable that carries the lighting does not use electricity; rather they are housed in an external component. Fiber optic lighting offers many unique fluorescent color options and offers the homeowner great versatility. In many cases, fiber optic lighting systems provide your pool with a mini-light show.
