In recent years, residential areas are mostly designed as garden-style outdoor environments. Therefore, garden lighting plays a very important role in residential area lighting. It has the function of eliminating dead spots of lighting, facilitating people's activities and reducing crime, which is the organic composition and extension of the clear vision function. As a place for residents to walk and rest outdoors, the garden should strive for a feeling of relaxation, comfort and safety. Therefore, the garden lighting is mostly low-key, and the overall illuminance should be low rather than high.
1. Garden path lights
The illumination of garden path lights is generally 5-10lx, and the road with more pedestrians and emphasis on traffic function is about 20lx. Garden path lights have various styles such as Chinese nationality, Western Europe, Japan, etc. When selecting models, attention must be paid to the harmony and unity of the surrounding buildings. The shape is simple and artistic without luxury, which is in line with the characteristics of residential areas. Attention should be paid to controlling glare. The height of the light source is selected according to the road width and the height of surrounding buildings, usually 0.6 to 1.2 times the road width, but should not be higher than 3.5m. On the premise of satisfying pedestrians' sense of safety, the illuminance should be reduced as much as possible. The installation distance of the lamps is small, usually 15-25m, which gives people a quiet and comfortable feeling. In addition, when the installation height of the lamps is lower than 2.5m, in order to avoid Glare, opal glass or frosted glass lamps should be used.
2. Plant flood light
Plant floodlights are usually two kinds of lawn lights and tree floodlights. Appropriate use in residential areas can adjust the atmosphere at night, but should pay attention to key use, avoid too much or too bright, so as not to damage the quiet resting environment.

The installation should be careful to avoid glare from entering people's field of vision. When installing on the lawn near the road, you should pay attention to concealment, or choose artistic lamps for decoration, so that the lamps themselves are integrated into the landscape.

According to the specific shape and focus of the sketch, the position and arrangement of the lighting points are arranged, and the light color and light are carefully selected. Strong, adjust the projection angle, projection surface, etc., to create a sharp outline effect and accent through shadows and different brightness.

Simply put, it is necessary to highlight the main body of the sketch without destroying the coordination of the overall environment of the community. This is the basic design principle of garden sketch lighting.
