Properly selected devices are designed to create the most comfortable conditions on each site, taking into account their individual characteristics. There are such types of street lighting:

• functional,
• decorative,
• mixed,
• festive.

Functional

The key function of the devices belonging to this group is evening and night lighting of the entrance and entrance groups of commercial and residential buildings, parking lots, steps, paths, reservoirs and other objects. It is not uncommon to find a well-lit gate and a path leading to the house, as well as the front door. Such lighting is called duty lighting. It is designed to ensure the simplicity and ease of orientation on the site at night, as well as the safety of movement, both the owners of the house and guests.

Decorative

Decorative lighting devices are able to create a special mood in the evening garden, effectively emphasize the author\'s landscape design. On their basis, recreation areas are also arranged: benches, gazebos, courtyards. They are able to turn a night garden into a fascinating element of a fairy tale. Often modern business people, due to their excessive employment, do not have the opportunity to admire their yard during the day, as they return home only closer to night. For them, light street design is an opportunity to admire the beauty of the surrounding space. The main feature of decorative lamps is their extraordinary design, since in the daytime they will act as full-fledged small architectural forms, decorating ponds, paths and plant compositions.

Mixed

Such street lighting is most often used today. It involves the simultaneous solution of both tasks, both functional and decorative. Given the variety of products presented on the modern market of lighting devices, choosing the best option for each country house is not a problem. If necessary, you can use the advice of a designer who will tell you which devices will give your yard a special charm, effectively place accents and create fascinating pictures, both day and night.

Festive

It acts as an addition to the above types of lighting and is aimed at creating a unique holiday atmosphere that will be remembered for a long time by both guests and the hosts themselves. To build it, it is worth adding garlands to the basic lamps. They can be placed along paths, decorate tree branches, gazebo. It is fashionable to use such a "flexible" light on decorative elements, pillars, and the facade of a building.

Classification by purpose

Two groups are classified by purpose: garden lamps used for outdoor lighting and spotlights used to illuminate individual elements of the garden. The former are also endowed with a decorative function. They are placed all over the site, near the entrance to the house, along the paths. The latter, on the contrary, try to hide from view, as they often have the simplest minimalistic design.

Spotlights can be placed both on the ground, highlighting flower beds, low shrubs, winding tree trunks, and in branches. This solution will be especially effective for firs, oaks, linden and other trees with a dense crown. By placing the spotlight a few meters from the tree or bush itself, you will get an original shadow cast on the fence, lawn, building.

In the selection process, we also advise you to pay attention to:

• style of lighting devices (classic, modern, high-tech, Chinese, etc.);
• number of lampshades (one, two, three or more);
• installation method (suspended, cantilever, floor lamp, built-in, wall, etc.);
• the configuration of the lampshades (spherical, conical, cylindrical, stylized as gas lamps, etc.);
• material (stainless steel, bronze, stranded, aluminum, polyamide, etc.).

As you can see, there are quite a lot of options and in order to choose the optimal solution for yourself and buy a street lamp, ideal in all respects, it is important to understand what exactly you want to get in the end.
