To date, garden or country sites are the very territories in which the owners put all the soul. Some try to create beautiful decorative tracks, others do our best to implement original floral compositions. It is safe to say that within the framework of frequent territory you can create a lot of diverse ideas, starting with the construction of the house, and ending with the creation of the fountain.

Recently, a whole trend among the owners gained the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating lighting. Under garden lighting, it is often implied by the implementation of bold ideas, primarily associated with the design of the site. But at the same time should not forget about the most important appointment of lighting equipment.
It's amazing, but the Internet has a colossal number of options for the implementation of lighting, on the basis of which the usual "gray" section can be turned into a unique territory that will affect its beauty. Unfortunately, not always at the owners it turns out to create something worthy, since it is quite difficult for non-poverty to make some conclusions about the overall style of plot design. In the end, it turns out far from the most successful situation, to fix it is again large financial costs.
In this material, we will look at the main details related to the implementation of garden lighting. Also analyze common lighting options, allowing not only to highlight the territory, but also make it a truly attractive for others.
Features of garden lighting
Immediately it is worth saying that in the case of the creation of garden lighting, a colossal expanser appears for creative thinking. If you can choose only the materials and dimensions of the surface when creating tracks, then with the lighting much more freedom of action. For example, we can talk about the variety of options for the location of the lamps. In addition, you should not forget about creating entire structures on the basis of the lighting tools.
At the same time, it becomes obvious that such events are distinguished by both colossal complexity. This applies to many projects, in which the owners want to create something too exotic. It is necessary to decide in advance with the complexity of the planned work, so as not to face problems, which the specialist cannot be allowed.
For many Dachnikov, the creation of lighting on the plot is far from the event that allows you to create comfortable conditions for working on the site. First of all, we are talking about the decorative component that allows you to make even the most inconspicuous area of \u200b\u200bsomething special for residents and visitors. Of course, this refers far from all options for creating lighting, but there are many examples of how it is necessary to implement the project so that it meets expectations.
It is also interesting that in most situations, garden lighting is therefore a process that needs to be carried out after a number of other events related to the improvement of the site. If there are no tracks or attractive clubs on a specific territory, the lighting will not be able to create the necessary attractiveness.
It is extremely important to realize everything in such a way that the site looks attractive and afternoon, and at night. Obviously, during the daytime, the lighting will not make an inconsistent area outstanding, so it is necessary to approach the transformation of the territory.
If you speak directly about the types of lighting on the plot, then most often we are about the following:
- highlighting tracks;
- home lighting;
- backlighting stairs;
- patio illumination;
- overall lighting of the site;
- festive lighting of objects on the site.
It is also worth saying that the specialists engaged in these issues make it possible that a certain aesthetics of the territory remains when the lighting improvement remains.
Recently, the question associated with the illumination of stones and other components of the flower complex is especially relevant. The so-called glowing stones are distinguished by the so-called luminous stones, which are produced on the basis of phosphorus and some other substances, with which the stone absorbs solar energy, and after that it pleases some time with a pleasant glow.
If we talk about aesthetics in more detail, it is worth paying attention to the fact that each element of lighting should be combined with natural objects on the site. If the wiring is scattered throughout the territory, and the lamps will have a futuristic style, then there is a high probability of realization of a tasteless project, which no one will appreciate.
To date, special highlights are very popular, which are performed in various forms, canceled with the subject of nature. For example, it is often possible to meet plastic elements in the form of butterflies. They are best suited for small flower beds that need extra decoration.
Technical component of the creation of garden lighting
Many owners who decided to make a question of the coverage of the site, primarily worries not the decorative component, but specificity associated with the technical implementation of the project. We are talking about the simplest and most reliable options for the location of the wiring, as well as the means of obtaining electricity.
It is the second question that is the most acute, since electricity today is expensive pleasure. And this is a particularly acute question if you plan to equip many lamps and illumination. Recently, we are increasingly talking about alternative sources of electricity. First of all, this is solar batteries that are becoming more profitable every year for consumers. Small solar panels are the best solution for the site, since they do not occupy a lot of space, and at the same time produce enough electricity for lamps.
The question associated with alternative sources of electricity is particularly important for large areas where the owners want to implement decent lighting. If alternative electricity is not available, it should be borne in mind that the electricity account will be impressive, and perhaps the lighting of the site is better to transfer to the future.
Main options backlit
To begin with, it is worth saying that decorative illumination is primarily necessary for focusing on specific objects. As we have said, it can be tracks, flower beds and other places. At the same time, decorative lighting is often not the main version of the lighting, which, for example, will illuminate the road to move along the site.
- Recently, more and more often you can find the lighting of whole trees, which major they would not be. For this case, other groups of large lamps are often used, which are located under the trees. It ultimately it turns out that the means of lighting in the evening emphasize the crowns of trees. Of course, this is not always a good solution, since the crowns of trees may be far from the most attractive, especially if it is too large. Decorative types of trees have a certain style that will be emphasized by lighting.
- If we talk about the lighting of the tracks on the plot, then this is an extremely important question for the usual movement on the territory. In the dark, you can easily be mistaken and get away from the road, thereby damaging the flowerbed or bed. High-quality lighting of the tracks will be the focus of not only tenants, but also guests of the site. Specialists recommend to make a choice in favor of powerful lamps that are able to provide a specific zone with the desired level of light. Walked luminaires-spots that are located at the soil level. In addition, you can find lamps that resemble small sticks. They are at a certain distance from the surface. It is also a small decorative component, which is usually found in large and modern territories. The lamps are often located on both sides of the tracks, and this allows without any problems to decide on the boundaries of surfaces for walking even to those people who were not previously on the plot. It is advisable to provide a certain step between the lighting means so that everything looks harmoniously.
- Lighting arbors and terraces. Most often, the owners want to create a situation at which in the evening it was possible to immediately find seats for recreation. Accordingly, lighting for the terraces and arbors is an extremely important issue. Also lighting allows you to observe the beauty of places to relax in cloudy weather, when it does not work out for the threshold of the house. It is advisable in such situations to use dull lamps (such often there are equipment based on solar cells). As for specifically, the arbors, which in the country sites are constantly meeting, should be borne in mind that the best option will be the use of point lamps. They are truly successful means of illumination of small spaces. Point lamps are advisable to place on the ceiling surface, but nothing bad happens if the lighting is located elsewhere. The most important thing is uniform lighting, which will make the gazebo even more attractive than it really is. In addition, to create an original style you can use and quite original items. For example, it can be bottles with glasses of different colors, plastic elements. On this basis, you can create an appropriate atmosphere - warm or cold.
- Security lighting. Often, under security lighting, the use of lamps to control the territory is meant. These relevant means are located in strategically important places on the site (near the entrance, gate, near the garage, etc.), which can be the goal for intruders. Even with little lighting, it is clearly controlled so that no bully is penetrated into the territory, and did not make his dirty business. By the way, few people even think to penetrate the territory where high-quality lighting of objects is present. LED lamps are most commonly used, which have unprecedented brightness. At the same time, it is impossible to do so that the created lighting system is located without some logic. Everything must fit a specific style, and that security lighting for others seemed decorative. This is not always a simple task, as much depends on the specific object, within which improvement will occur. Bad news is that to ensure security lighting, the usual source of electricity will be required, and, accordingly, considerable financial losses are unlikely to be able to avoid. Of course, you can always arrange a major searchlight, which without unnecessary problems will fill the entire territory, but such solutions are often used in industrial facilities, and within the framework of an attractive plot, this is not the best option.
- Lighting at home. The house does not always need high-quality backlight. The situation is in such a way that many owners consider decorative components on the site everything except at home. However, the best solution will be the creation of dim lighting, with which the space will be really attractive outwardly in the evening, even if the house itself does not represent anything special. It is advisable to highlight the roof by placing the backlight on the edges. You can try to apply the same solutions to the corners of the structure. Ultimately, the house will be, the outlines of which will be visible at night. If you do everything competently, and do not rearrange with the number of backlight, it will be harmonious and modern. It is obvious that with the help of various examples available on the Internet, you can achieve the most optimal result.
Production of lamps
To date, many owners try to make their plot really original and unusual. It is worth paying attention to the fact that it is expensive to acquire various lamps and plaffers - this is expensive pleasure, as the manufacturers are trying to make it possible to pay for such customers. Thus, it makes sense to draw attention to the lamps manufactured by their own hands.
The good news is that even remedies will be used to create such things, which until that moment was completely uncommon.
- Glass bottles. As we have said, glass bottles are often peculiar plates for lighting media. But at the same time, it is worth paying attention to the fact that ordinary beer bottles will not become the best solution, since with their help create the original design of the site will definitely fail. On the Internet you can find a lot of options related to the lighting using bottles. The situation is in such a way that the bottle themselves may have original forms, as well as an unusual color of glass. It is desirable to pick up bottles of about the same sizes so that they are good among themselves. As for the fastening of such lamps, the bottom of the bottle is advisable to remove. Through the neck of the neck, the wiring is loaded, the cartridge is located at the bottom. Then the light bulb is simply twisted. It is worth noting that for such a lamp you need an additional fastening that allows you to use the lamp without unnecessary problems, and it is not afraid that the wiring will turn around. Sources of light can be fastened with any other ways, we in the material indicate one of the common solutions. It is also interesting that you can associate several bottles based on a kind of chandelier, which allows you to highlight a large area and create an original decorative style. Again, do not forget about high-quality mount, since the weight of such a structure will be considerable. Surprisingly, there are so many options for creating lamps from bottles on the Internet, that the eyes simply scatter. Some options are extremely difficult to implement, so often you have to pay attention to simple ideas.
- Glass jars. It is also an excellent option for lighting, especially if there are many similar containers. Often in banks are placed candles, which are light sources. This option is appropriate, as it is cheap and positively affects the overall style of the site. Such lamps can be placed along the tracks, and if necessary to light the candles. Ultimately, something like lighting from the covers of fabulous collections is possible. You can also add decoration of such light using sand or stones that are placed at the bottom of the tank. For hanging cans, chains are often used. It is worth keeping in mind that the most common glass banks are far from the best solution for design, so it is better to go to the store and find containers with an interesting form or original design.
- Cans. In the farm, many remain metal containers, which, as it turned out, can be applied to create high-quality lighting within the home. It is important to note the fact that, as in the case of glass banks, it is necessary to select enough attractive externally capacities capable of creating a pleasant atmosphere within the site. Next, when the desired number of cans is found, it is necessary to implement a small idea associated with lighting. It is necessary to arm a hammer and nails, with which a certain number of holes are preparing. Ultimately, it should be so that inside the bank will be the light source (light bulb or candle), which will pass through the holes. If you create approximately the same holes on tin cans, the glow will be original. Obviously, it is impossible to call full such light, so it will perform an exclusively decorative function. If you use a lot of tanks, you will get a good composition.
- Other materials. Practice shows that creating original garden lighting can be based on any accessories. It can be dishes, plastic elements and much more. The most important thing is to ensure the attractiveness of space, since many scorched materials make the plot of tasteless, and in some situations it is even better to do without lighting. Therefore, as we said, it is advisable to pay attention to the already ready-made options on the Internet.
