Up Lighting Outdoor Lighting TechniqueUp Lighting Outdoor Lighting Technique

Architectural and landscape elements become visually dramatic features when illuminated from below. Sometimes called highlighting, it is a common technique used to accent key focal points in the landscape and create shadows on walls. It is often used to illuminate a specimen plant by placing two or more spot light fixtures at the base and angling them upward, illuminating both the bark and canopy. Boulders, sculptures and garden structures can also be highlighted.

Because up lighting is not a natural way of lighting, it tends to draw our attention to the object being featured in the up light.  To prevent direct glare, fixtures are aimed away from observers. Fixtures may be camouflaged by placing the accent lights behind shrubbery to keep a natural looking landscape. This technique is the most common landscape lighting process in the Tampa Bay area, highlighting palm trees and structures.
