Outdoor lighting can turn your backyard into a beautiful moon lit night every night.   Below are some useful tips from Ligthing.com to help you recreate the romantic glow of a perfect evening.

Down Lighting: Place spotlights high up in trees, positioned out of sight. These fixtures shine down to illuminate interesting tree details while lighting the area closely surrounding the tree.

Shadow Lighting: Lights are placed to cast shadows produced from trees, sculpture or other landscape details. These shadows are reminiscent of the contrasting light play the full moon creates.

Up Lighting: Placing lights at the base of structures or trees provides dramatic illumination that captures attention.

Mood Lighting: Working with a mix of lighting intensities, you can set the mood and sculpt your surroundings with light. Layers of soft-washed light, blended with stark shadows and bright spots, captivate the eye.

Moon Lighting: Hide flood lights high up in trees to wash larger areas with light, replicating the shine of the full moon. Angle lights from a series of locations to achieve the best effect.
