Among the numerous city lighting fixtures, modern landscape lights stand out. Landscape lights play a crucial role in modern cities, as they not only serve an ornamental purpose but also embody significant artistic and cultural aspects. In ancient city scenic spots, landscape lights exude rich historical culture, integrating seamlessly with their surroundings. Different colors convey varying scenery; for instance, red landscape lights create a festive atmosphere while green landscape lights evoke tropical vibes.
Landscape lights
are suitable for squares, residential areas, and public green spaces.
Today, let’s explore some important considerations when designing landscape lights:
Firstly, landscape lights typically exist in the form of diffuse light, which differs from direct light as it does not produce excessive shadows. Consequently, colors appear softer when brightened or darkened. However, a critical issue with diffuse light landscape lights is the excessively high surface temperature of the light source. Few products on the market successfully address this problem.
Next, we must consider the calculations of elevation angle and shoulder distance. By calculating these angles, one can achieve a good balance between functionality and aesthetic appeal. For example, if the elevation angle is designed with the corresponding landscape design in mind, it can better reflect the landscape’s role while also meeting functional needs. High brightness points or strong brightness contrasts within one’s field of view can cause pupil constriction, creating spots of light in the eye that disrupt the visual system’s adaptation to surrounding physical space, leading to discomfort or visual decline. Glare primarily results from the high brightness of the light source. The higher the brightness of the source, the more severe the glare. Keeping the light source’s brightness constant, glare will be more pronounced in darker surroundings, closer distances to the viewer, larger apparent areas of the light source, or in environments with numerous light sources.
