Garden lighting requires proper planning to maintain the attractiveness in its contemplation and use. The garden lived at night has its points of interest, its areas of light and shadow, which make the space functional during those hours of darkness.

Lighting is part of landscaping in gardening, it is one more step to take advantage of the garden for longer. A good planning of the garden lighting makes the space acquire interest due to the visual attraction it achieves and the well-being caused by using the garden at night.

One of the goals of lighting is to make shadows work well. When designing lighting, it is just as important that it illuminate well, as that it does not illuminate more, focusing on things or spaces that are not necessary or providing more light than is necessary.

With the appropriate lighting we produce dualities of light and shadow and avoid excessive contrasts. When we say that it is important not to illuminate more, we mean not to include elements that are not necessary or to produce more light intensity than required.
