Bollard Lighting Techniques
Path lighting is basically spread lighting but at a lower height. This technique of lighting is ideal for illuminating pathways, borders, steps, and driveways. In this type of lighting, a high degree of light shielding is necessary to prevent glare. Spread lighting produces patterns of concentric circles of light downward for illuminating flower beds, low shrubs, and ground cover. In general, the size of the light-spread area is determined by the height, size, and lamp wattage of the lighting fixture used. Down lighting is often used to create several lighting effects. By mounting the fixtures low on the trees, a "path lighting" or "spread lighting" effect will be achieved, illuminating walkways or paths. Mounting fixtures higher in the trees pointing downward can provide general lighting for safety and security. Use lower-wattage lights positioned close to areas that could potentially cause tripping or other safety hazards. Use overlapping pools of light for beauty, safety, and to provide adequate lighting for sure footing.
