Read on to discover what moon lighting is and the wonders it will do for your Oakville home!

Ask Your Outdoor Lighting Service About Moon Lighting!

Moon lighting, as the name implies, mimics the light of the moon. It creates a soft, ethereal moonlight effect that shines down on your landscape. In addition to the light, its other effect is to create a natural shadow, similar to the moon. Romantic and whimsical, moonlighting is a great way to set the mood on a back patio, beside a pool, or on a front porch.

The residential lighting experts at Nite Time Décor use brass or copper fixtures in lighting installations, in order to add to the otherworldly feeling that moon lighting can create. These fixtures won’t stick out in your yard or garden; rather, they’ll blend nicely as if they were a natural part of your landscape.

Advice for Adding Moon Lighting to Your Oakville Landscape Lighting System

Moon lighting is typically done from large trees (25 feet or higher), and the light filters through the branches of the tree. This results in a soft, full moon glow, regardless of the actual moon or the weather. As such, a tree with a large canopy is the best candidate for a moonlighting installation.

For the right effect, you may have to use numerous lights. But numerous lights won’t necessarily mean numerous digits on your hydro bill. Ask Nite Time Decor about LED technology.

Flood lights are the most common products used. These will need to be placed at different angles and areas of the tree, depending on what you want to highlight.

To create more shadows and a lower light effect, place the lighting fixtures close to the trunk and higher up in the tree.

For lighter and less shadowing, ask your outdoor lighting service to mount the lights near the edge of the canopy and closer to the ground.

If you want to highlight just the tree trunk, place a light lower in the tree, just above the trunk and point it straight at the ground.

To save energy, try automating your lighting. Ask Nite Time Décor about our landscape lighting automation options.
