There is a very old saying that all cats look grey at night. Today, thanks partly to the growing trend to furnish private homes and gardens with sophisticated outdoor lighting, that saying is no longer as true as it once was. Facades subtly accentuated by light and encircled by greenery imbue such buildings with an inviting, homely atmosphere. Illuminated gardens extend the domestic living space outwards, illuminated boundaries enable the space to be experienced as a whole, even in winter. | 15 Good Outdoor Lighting for the Home 15 Good Outdoor Lighting for the Home 2 Editorial There is a very old saying that all cats look grey at night. Today thanks partly to the growing trend to furnish private homes and gardens with sophisticated outdoor lighting that saying is no longer as true as it once was. Facades subtly accentuated by light and encircled by greenery imbue such buildings with an inviting homely atmosphere. Illuminated gardens extend the domestic living space outwards illuminated boundaries enable the space to be experienced as a whole even in winter. The result is a sense of security orientation and comfort - enhanced by the light that shines through the windows through the eyes as it were of the building. Ensuring the right results calls for professional lighting planning conducted in close cooperation between client architect interior designer landscape designer and lighting designer. Part of the challenge lies in crafting a solution that achieves harmony and balance while successfully underlining the design statement of facades and accentuating the design of the exterior facilities. The most important thing to consider at all times however is the personal space of those who live in the building. Tailoring the colours contours and materials of the architecture to personal lifestyle is crucially important for the wellbeing of those occupying the space. So too is the task of defining and meeting the lighting requirements presented. Especially where the client wishes to fit outdoor lighting with more conventional more energy-intensive lamps - which may seem a more economical option at first because of the lower initial outlay - thought should at least be given to harnessing the extensive possibilities of modern building services technology. Efficient automation of electrical installations is a vital requirement for resource conservation and sustainability so is the use of lamps that use less energy to deliver .
