Inviting Backyard
The front of the house isn't the only
place to use landscape lights. Here,
tree-mounted downlights and upward-
pointing well lights show off this tree's
branch structure and invite people to
come out and enjoy the swing.
Shown: PortaleEnfer well light with 11-
watt LED array, about $135 each, and
TrellisSolare downlight with 20-watt
bulb, about $65 each; FX Luminaire
Glowing Garden
To properly illuminate a bed, garden fixtures
must be taller than the plantings, such as
these succulents, that you want to showcase.
Similar to shown: Terralight Tudor Series
LVW6319 with 18-watt bulb; about $120 each;
Hanover Lantern
Party-Ready Patio
Because you can't just dial up a full moon,
sometimes you need some extra illumination.
In addition to providing light to grill by, a
handful of tree-mounted lights bathe this
stone patio in a mood-setting glow.
Shown: Lunar downlight with 20-watt halogen,
about $140 each; Unique Lighting Systems
With a little know how (or by hiring a
professional to assist) you can transform the
exterior of your home into a work of art to be
seen after the sun goes down.
