Spot lights are a powerful light used for a variety of reasons on the outside of your home. We probably hear the term most often associated with fame or stage performances, although when we talk about spotlights for the outside of your home, it’s not exactly the same thing. It is the same type of lighting, though. The cool thing is, there are a lot more purposes for spot lights besides the ‘spot light’ effect. With that being said, you can definitely use spotlights at your own home to create a ‘spot light’ effect for a particular statue, or something else that you want to require visual attention.
The other uses for spot lights include Up Lighting, Silhouetting, Shadowing, and Moon Lighting. Up Lighting is a lighting effect usually used on trees, which uses a spot light pointed upwards at the trunk or canopy of the tree to create dramatic shadows for a stylish and spectacular effect.
Silhouetting is a technique used to create dramatic outlines of particular shapes in your yard. This technique makes the light itself almost invisible, while creating a brilliant highlight for your favorite pieces in your yard.
Shadowing is a type of lighting that uses shadows as an addition to the style of the outside of your house in and of themselves. Say you have a particular statue, tree, or other item in the outside of your home that has the potential to produce an interesting shadow in your yard, a spot light is the perfect kind of lighting to produce the desired look.
Moon lighting is an aptly named style of lighting that involves placing a spotlight high up in a tree, faced down at the other branches and the rest of the ground. It creates a bright, moonlight effect to produce ample lighting on the outdoor landscape of your home.
