Landscape lighting
Commonly used lighting fixtures for landscape lighting include street lamps, high pole lamps, trail and courtyard lamps, foot lamps, low level (lawn) lighting fixtures, projection lighting fixtures (floodlights, relatively small projection lighting fixtures), street lamp post decorative landscape lights, light sketch lights, outdoor wall lights, buried lights, underfloor lights, underwater lights, solar lamps, fiber optic lighting systems, embedded lights, etc.
Selection of landscape lighting sources: High pressure sodium lamps are used on expressways, main roads, secondary roads, and branch roads; Low power metal halide lamps and high-pressure sodium lamps are recommended for mixed traffic roads of motor vehicles and pedestrians in residential areas; Metal halide lamps are generally used on motor vehicle traffic roads with high color recognition requirements in urban centers and bustling commercial centers; Small power metal halide lamps, narrow tube fluorescent lamps, or compact fluorescent lamps can be used on sidewalks on both sides of commercial pedestrian streets, residential pedestrian roads, and motor vehicle traffic roads.
Landscape lighting scheme design:
1) Building landscape lighting: For outdoor building facades, we usually use floodlights to directly illuminate the object’s facade at a certain position calculated by length and angle. By using floodlights and utilizing light, color, and shadow reasonably, we can reconstruct and erect the shape of the building at night. The outline of building objects can be directly delineated using linear light sources (string lights, neon lights, Meinai lights, light pipes, LED light strips, all body luminous fibers, etc.). Indoor lighting or lighting fixtures installed in special locations can be used to transmit light from the inside of the building to the outside.
2) Square landscape lighting: composed of fountains, square floors and landmarks, tree arrays, entrance and exit lights of underground shopping malls or subways, and surrounding green spaces, flower beds, and other environmental lighting. We need to unify the landscape lighting of the buildings around the square with the lighting of the square area, coordinate the lighting of the square and the surrounding roads, and unify the inherent culture.
3) Bridge landscape lighting: Along the road on both sides of the bridge, one artistic light fixture can be placed every 4-5 meters to form a sparkling pearl necklace. The facade floodlighting of the main tower can be divided into three aspects: projecting light from bottom to top, and a platform should also be set up under the road surface to illuminate the upper part of the tower base on the water surface from top to bottom with floodlights, making the lighting effect of the high tower stand like a giant on the river.
4) Landscape lighting of overpasses: Observing the panoramic pattern of the overpass from a high perspective, there are not only lane edge lines and contours, but also lighting compositions and sculptures in green spaces, as well as bright lines formed by street lights in the bridge area. These lighting elements are combined to form an organic overall picture.
5) Landscape lighting of water features: Utilizing water surface scenery and the lighting of trees and railings along the shore to create reflections on the water surface. For fountains and waterfalls, underwater lighting can be used to illuminate the same or different colored underwater lights in a certain pattern, with magical effects and unique charm.
6) The functional lighting of park roads: Roads are the backbone of gardens, guiding visitors to various scenic spots from the entrance. The path twists and turns, creating an effect of different scenery and winding paths. The lighting method should closely adhere to this characteristic.
