More Creative Ideas...     Uplighting This term describes the illumination of an object, area or surface from below. Walls, fences and overhanging tree branches are typical objects suitable for uplighting.     Spotlighting This technique employs a focused beam of light, from above or below, to draw attention to especially attractive plants, trees, objects, or areas. Spotlights should be shielded to protect eyes from glare.     Downlighting (Moonlighting) Downlighting describes the illumination of an object, area or surface from above. Moonlighting creates the most natural looking outdoor light: the light source, usually mounted high inside the canopy of a tree, bathes the ground with a soft glow.     Deck Lighting Small fixtures, designed to complement wood decks, are used to provide safety and accent lighting.     Shadowing The shadow of an object is projected against a vertical surface by a light source located in front of the object.     Crosslighting To illuminate an object or area more thoroughly, use two or more fixtures. This technique softens shadows.     Grazing Emphasize a textured surface (tree trunk, stone well, climbing ivy, etc.) by placing a light source within one foot of that surface and aiming the light beam parallel to that surface.     Silhouetting Also called Backlighting, this technique is used to dramatize an unusually-shaped object. The light source is placed behind the object and aimed at a vertical surface further behind the object.     Path Lighting This type of lighting enhances flower beds and borders while safely illuminating pathways.     Step Lighting These fixtures are specifically designed to safely illuminate stairways.
