Creating a pattern for landscape lighting must be part of any design.
Outdoor lighting systems, as part of home security, rely on motion sensors through changes in the infrared spectrum, as the wave lengths of infrared are longer, and invisible to people, but the downside is that these are activated by animals, and are not as popular as other forms of outdoor landscape lighting.
There are a multitude of different sizes and shapes of solar powered lighting available for landscape lighting, and these have photovoltaic panels that convert solar energy to electricity, which then powers the lights, either along paths and steps, or on specific areas.
Whichever method of providing outdoor lighting for your garden will depend on your budget, and sometimes you can double up the effects – for example lighting strings of lights can be used coloured for Christmas, then plain for the rest of the year.
