Hardscape Lighting Basics
The three basic components of outdoor hardscape lighting kit
1. Program
Stairway lighting emphasizes the aesthetics of this feature and provides a safe and visible route at night. You can install a simple LED light brick in the riser at each step, or you can insert an
exterior light under the shade for each step.
2. Railings and sconces
Bridges can be illuminated with a variety of bridge post lights made of cast aluminum and cast brass (such as crescent lights). Another option is to use new garden light hidden under the edge of
the railing to highlight the railing on the deck.
3. Sitting Walls
Outdoor hardscape lighting can be incorporated into brick and stone walls during construction.Many different types of outdoor lights are usually installed under the coping on a seating or retaining
wall, usually before the coping is attached to the wall. You may need to have a Hardscape contractor create a channel for the equipment wiring.
