Landscape uplighting and downlighting highlight trees, buildings, and outdoor features, adding depth and interest at night. Uplighting shines light upward from the ground, while downlighting is placed high up and shines downward for a natural, moonlit effect. For downlighting, integrated fixtures are best because they’re sealed, more durable, and need less maintenance—especially since they’re often installed in hard-to-reach spots. They also offer better protection from the elements and longer-lasting performance.
