Outdoor Lighting Buying Guide

Outdoor Lighting Buying Guide

Lowe's and the Home 101 team show you how to spice up your backyard with a variety of outdoor lighting options. One of the cool things about having your own place is putting your own personal stamp on things. When it comes to lighting, there are a lot of options that go beyond the simplicity of a bare bulb. A combination of wall-mounted lights and decorative lanterns can bring warmth to any patio, porch, or deck area. Known as ambient lighting, decorative lanterns are mostly mood-setters and make a great touch for a patio party or cookout. On the other hand, some lanterns primarily exist for task lighting - a functional piece of equipment for safety or necessity. The best kind of lighting is both ambient and functional. Another cool outdoor lighting technique is uplighting. It can really make your house stand out. Use uplighting to create a wash of light, soften a space, highlight a specific feature, or create a dramatic look and feel. You can also downlight. Wall-mounted downlights have the benefit of casting pools of surface light around areas like doorways, patios, and steps. Path lighting not only illuminates the obvious areas like stairs and sidewalks - you can get creative and use them as directional lines that draw the eye to areas like your porch, patio, or landscaping. These lights can run on current electricity, or - if you're feeling green - are also available in a variety of solar-powered options. For more outdoor lighting ideas and products, visit www.Lowes ...

  1. I just learned the terms down and up lighting, and casting shadows - thanks. I'd like a certain look I've seen, but don't know what it's called. The light cast a triangle shadow from a can light from the overhang on the porch.  I don't want the entire porch necessarily illuminated, I want the specific shadows. Can someone tell me if this sounds familiar or do I sound crazy? ;)

  6. I'm with you on that, shooting at night, especially if it's not in the city where you can assume the light is coming from building or such is difficult to pull off. Basically it's a matter of how you light the scene.

  14. ive watched most of your videos and the problem doesn't seem to be that it is SD, but rather that you have a lot of compression artifacts. Maybe if you change your codec it will be a bit higher quality. They are very good none-the-less

  15. Actually this video was pretty good. I was trying to figure out how to shoot at night and this kind of helped me. But I still really want to know how to shoot in ACTUAL nighttime environment with lights.

  19. Hey guys don't you have over-exposed and under-exposed around the wrong way. Her face in the first set up is under-exposed, the background is over-exposed, her face in the second set up is over-exposed.
