Highlight just one piece of sculpture or architectural detail with an intensely focused beam of light. Spot or narrow spot light. |
One or more ground-mounted fixtures aimed straight-on at a specimen tree, flowering bush or entranceway. Flood or wide flood lamp. |
Position the light source in front of ornamental grass or large-leafed foliage so the enlarged image is projected on a wall or fence. Spot or narrow flood lamp |

Fixtures with graceful daytime appearance add broad, even washes of light at night so the vivid colors may be enjoyed at dusk and beyond. Typical spacing: 6'-8'. |
Concentric circles of light ripple out from the fixture, perfect for walkways and entrances. Typical spacing 8'-12'. |
With the addition of the Photocell/Time Clock option for reliability, and fixtures installed in proximity to the building, property owners can feel comfortably secure while delighting in the effect. Typical spacing: 5'-8' |
These fixtures will complement brick, stone or wood stair walls. |
Placed next to deck or patio stairs, a path light illuminates the risers beautifully so people can move about with confidence. |

A stucco wall, basket-weave fence or stone exterior are ideal surfaces to light because of the inherent surface changes. Position fixtures a considerable distance 12"-16" from the wall. Flood or wide flood lamp. |
Trace the fluting of a Corinthian column all the way up to the ornate capital or send streams of light up to graze textured brick columns. Narrow or very narrow spot lamps. |
Grazing throws the texture of a stucco wall, basket-weave fence or stone exterior into high relief. Fixtures should be located 3"-6" away. Flood or wide flood. |
Marking tends not to illuminate and area, but rather a boundary or end point. Great for driveways and docks. Also consider ProGrade solar lights here. |
