To do well in the lighting of the plant landscape, you need to pay attention to the following three points:
1.Lighting design method
The basic lighting methods of plants include top and bottom lighting.
Generally speaking, bottom lighting can increase the natural expressiveness of leaves and form certain special effects, such as the effect of moonlight illumination.
But consider the size of the shadow on the ground or on the wall, and hide the light outlet of the light source as much as possible. This lighting method is to directly illuminate the front of the leaves, so the texture of the leaves will become more vivid and have a better color than during the day.
2.Plant lighting source selection
Plant lighting needs to show its vibrant colors. Generally, white light or light sources similar to plant colors are used, mainly halogen lamps, metal halide lamps, and fluorescent lamps. Among them, metal halide lamps are suitable for medium or large-scale trees, and fluorescent lamps and halogen lamps are suitable for medium and small-scale trees, shrubs, and bushes.
The light color of the light source is particularly important in plant lighting. The same plant may have different color appearance and detail performance under different light sources, and it will give people a completely different feeling. The use of colored light to illuminate plants is also a more artistic lighting method.
3.Selection and arrangement of lamps
The main consideration when choosing a plant lighting fixture is the light control ability of the fixture, that is, the beam angle. Generally, the appropriate beam angle should be selected according to the height, density, shape, etc. of the plants to irradiate them.
According to the beam angle, the lamps can be divided into three types: wide beam, medium beam and narrow beam. Among them, the wide beam is suitable for lighting that needs to emphasize the shape of plants: For trees with dense foliage, use 40°-45° light control to illuminate, you can get an ideal lighting effect; on the contrary, when you need to illuminate a narrow one For tall trees, it is best to choose lamps with a beam angle of 6°-20°.
Buried lamps and projection lamps are often used in green lighting, which are prone to glare. Therefore, lamps with grilles or hoods are often chosen to reduce glare.
