Here are the lighting techniques for your outdoors:  

1. Downlighting

Achieved by illuminating an area or object from above. High mounting heights and wide 
beam spreads provide broad, uniform illumination. Lower mounting heights or narrow 
beam spreads can be used for accent lighting. 

2. Uplighting

This technique uses direct burial fixtures, wall lights, and grade-mounted bullet fixtures 
which are aimed upward to illuminate trees, sculptures, walls, and flags. 

3. Accent lighting

Using higher light levels, uplights or downlights can be used to accent key features 
and create focal points, by separating them from objects or areas of lesser importance. 

4. Shadowing

Projecting light onto an object and casting shadows onto the vertical surface behind 
that object will create a shadow effect, similar to downlighting. The shadows from 
these palms create a visually appealing backdrop to an outdoor space.

5. Silhouetting

Lighting a vertical surface behind an object makes that object appear as a dark shape 
(in silhouette) against the light reflective surface.

6. Backlighting

Backlighting objects is perfect for accenting unique elements or features to your 
home. During the daylight, artistic pieces around your home add beauty and flair 
to your outdoor spaces. By adding backlighting, they need not disappear into the 
dark at night!

7. Grazing

Light is aimed parallel to a surface to bring out its texture.
