Urban landscape lighting engineering is not only a science, but also an artistic creation. It requires the use of artistic thinking, scientific methods, and modern technology to continuously improve design and create a graceful and beautiful lighting landscape. We have compiled methods for doing well in garden landscape lighting.

1. In the selection of light sources, urban landscape lighting should try to choose light sources with better direction and control, use customized lighting fixtures as much as possible, and reduce the use of ordinary floodlighting fixtures.

2. In the selection of light color, urban landscape lighting should fully utilize the characteristics of light intensity changes, reasonable color matching, and strong light irradiation, so that various landscape elements in the garden can shine brightly and move after nightfall, so as to fully express the characteristics of the night scene and showcase the design style of architects and landscape designers, in order to achieve satisfactory lighting effects.

3. The lighting techniques for each type of garden element are different. Urban landscape lighting engineering is mainly divided into several forms, including water area lighting, plant lighting, sculpture lighting, and architectural sketch lighting. Most of the architectural landscapes in urban gardens include pavilions, corridors, gardens, bridges, etc. When designing lighting, it is necessary to combine the physical characteristics of the structure and its surrounding landscape, and use different lighting techniques and lamp types to showcase the beauty of the garden structure's form and the charm of the night scene.

The key to urban landscape lighting design is to use light and shadow effects to better highlight landscape elements such as terrain, vegetation, and water features, create a more subtle scenery, and even create better microclimate conditions for plant growth. This is the essential difference from other landscape lighting such as architectural lighting and highway lighting.

In the planning and design of landscape lighting in gardens, the principle of people-oriented should be adhered to. Considering the influence of various light elements on the basic properties of the landscape at night, observers can obtain good lighting and psychological feelings at any position relative to the landscape, enabling them to accurately understand the landscape impression of the design. Although landscape lighting designs are different, the selection of lamp types and light sources must be harmonious and unified with the landscape style of the lighting installation site.
