u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Also known as area lighting, generally used for scene lighting in a small range. If the scene is large, you can split it into several smaller areas for lighting. Generally, there are three lights, which are main light, auxiliary light and background light.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e It is usually used to illuminate the main object in the scene and its surrounding area, and serves as the function of projecting the main object. The main light-dark relationship is determined by the subject light, including the direction of projection.

u003cbru003e The task of subject light can also be completed by several lights as needed. For example, the main light is called forward light at the position of 15 degrees to 30 degrees; the position of 45 degrees to 90 degrees is called side light; and the position of 90 degrees to 120 degrees becomes side backlight. The main light is usually done by spotlights. I like to set the brightness of the subject light to around 240.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e Auxiliary light is also called fill light. A spotlight is used to illuminate the fan-shaped reflective surface to form a uniform, non-direct soft light source, which is used to fill the shadow area and the scene area missed by the main light, and to adjust the light and dark areas The contrast between them can form depth and level of field at the same time, and this wide and uniform lighting feature makes it a base color for the scene and defines the tone of the scene. To achieve the effect of soft lighting, usually the brightness of the auxiliary light is only 50%-80% of the main light.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e The sculptures in the garden lack attractive highlights at night. Appropriate addition of light embellishment is very eye-catching. The warm light reflected on the cold stone sculpture brings a strong contrast effect.

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e

u003cbru003e If it is a fountain, the rushing water in summer makes it steal the limelight, and there is no water decoration in winter, and it suddenly becomes lifeless. The best way is undoubtedly to put on lights, the flowing and flickering lights activate the visual effects, creating an atmospheric and dreamy scene in the center of the garden.

u003cbru003e The lighting of the swimming pool is even more indispensable. Different lighting can add different romantic colors to the swimming pool; the sunset glow on the horizon forms a halo, forming a quiet and romantic picture with the nearby swimming pool lights.

When the flowers and plants are scattered, you might as well use light-wrapped wire balls instead of flowers and plants, and place them on pots in the garden to bring an artistic beauty. You can also use lights to decorate the edge of a fountain or flower pond, so that the garden at night is also clearly defined. The key is to learn to use the shape of plants or utensils for lighting scenery.
