• Architectural lighting and the grazing techniques are used to accentuate texture variations and architectural features common to stone and brick work. Architectural lighting also applies to statues, fountains or gateways.

• Path lighting in combination with adjacent landscape lighting provides safety and security by illuminating driveways and walkways.

• Moon lighting and down-lighting are accomplished by mounted fixtures in tree branches to create a moonlight effect. This method encourages cast shadows to produce a variety of patterns on the lawn and other ground surfaces.

• Shadowing and backlighting incorporate background light to silhouette landscape and structural features.

• Cross lighting integrates intersecting light beams at deliberate angles to produce depth of field from the blend of light and shadows.

• Up-lighting involves casting light upward to highlight the texture, size, color and features at night.
