Water feature lighting has become a new and exciting method for our Atlanta homeowners to showcase their water features and surrounding landscaping.
While many outdoor lighting companies in Atlanta will use submersible pond lighting, we at NightVision prefer to utilize downlighting, in order to showcase the water feature. As opposed to creating glare from within the water, our outdoor lighting designers choose to light from above using low-voltage lighting.
With this method, we can create a unique effect on the water and make it shine gorgeously at night. Here are some additional tips for enhancing your outdoor water features with the right outdoor lighting:
Highlighting Attractive Water Features
Oftentimes, our outdoor lighting technicians will place light fixtures in the trees surrounding your water features and aim them at many different areas of the water feature itself for one amazing effect.
These light fixtures are almost invisible, meaning the light will be coming from an area many may never be able to notice. With that being said, if trees are unavailable in your yard or are too tall, NightVision Outdoor Lighting can also make the water feature look just as incredible using another technique.
Ground Light Fixtures For Spotlighting Water Features
As an alternative to placing fixtures in your trees, you can also highlight water features by using fixtures on the ground, while making sure to try and camouflage them as much as possible.
While these light fixture are usually still somewhat visible, no matter how hard you to try to conceal them, the light is spread evenly nonetheless, and focuses the attention on the water feature itself instead of on the fixtures.
With this technique, your water features and surrounding areas become a huge focal point, making them one of the main features of the entire backyard that will have guests and family amazed.
