How to choose landscape lighting for parks?

Therefore, a good park lighting design is not only to illuminate the park, but also to design the lighting according to the characteristics of the park to create a nighttime atmosphere in the park. There are many landscapes in the park, including pavilions, flowers, trees, statues, rockeries, lakes, etc. Different landscapes should show their own characteristics and at the same time coordinate with the overall park style. The lighting effect of the scenery is achieved by the lighting design of the lamps. There are many kinds of lamps, and their shapes, characteristics and functions are also different. In the process of designing the park landscape lighting, we need to choose the appropriate one according to the effect to be obtained by the landscape lighting.

How to do park landscape lighting design?

1. Define the theme and style of the park. Do not set general lighting fixtures, but combine the characteristics of the park and garden landscape, and create a lighting design scheme with clear key points and clear layers through the contrast of strength and weakness of landscape lighting, implicit contrast and virtual and actual contrast, which can best reflect the landscape under the light.

2. For the lighting of water surface and waterscape, pay attention to reflection and other issues, especially for small building in parks, it is the best way to use outdoor wall wash lighting. The waterscapes in the park include open waters, fountains, streams, artificial pools and waterfalls, etc. The waterscape lighting design is mainly composed of the water surface beautification, the reflection of the water surface formed by the lighting of the railings and trees on the shore, and the real scene and the reflection in the water set off each other. , complement each other. At the same time, do a good job of personnel protection and lighting in the wading dangerous area, so as to avoid the accidental entry of personnel and cause falling into the water. At the same time, for the waterfront area, adequate protective facilities such as guardrails should be made.

3. The direction and color temperature of the lighting should be based on the premise of increasing the atmosphere of trees, shrubs and flowers. Plants will show different colors under different light colors. White light can more naturally express the natural color of the plant, making people feel that the plant is clear and clear, reflecting the layering of the plant, while the high-pressure sodium lamp is used for yellow plants that need to highlight the sense of color, and the effect will be better. Don’t just light up all of them for the sake of brightness.

4. The service life and maintenance of park lighting should be considered. As a public facility, the service life and maintainability of lighting fixtures are very critical to the operating cost of the park. At the same time, high safety also provides a safety guarantee for tourists.
