Uplighting and Downlighting Your Home With Gemstone Lights Flood Lights

When it comes to illuminating the exterior of your home, there are more things to consider than simply brightening up the dark spaces on your property. You may want to highlight some architectural features, draw attention to plants or sculptures in your garden, or make a path the focal point of your yard. Uplighting and downlighting can help you do all of this, and Gemstone Lights flood lights and Gemstone Lights outdoor LED soffit lights are the perfect permanent outdoor LED lights for the job!

What is Uplighting?

Uplighting is pretty much what it sounds like. Lights are positioned close to (or on) the ground and cast light up (for example, with the Gemstone Lights Flood Lights), illuminating things from below. Uplighting can be used for security lighting for pathways and walkways so people don’t trip, defining the boundaries of an outdoor space by lighting the perimeter, highlighting plants (or sculptures or fountains) on the property that you want people to notice, or adding a sense of depth to surfaces such as fences or outdoor walls that can otherwise appear flat.

What is Downlighting?

Downlighting is the opposite of uplighting – but it’s also exactly what the name suggests. With downlighting, lights are positioned above the features you want to highlight (such as Gemstone Lights’ original soffit lighting system), and the light is cast downwards onto objects you want to be illuminated. Downlighting can be used to highlight things close to the ground – so gardens, landscaped beds, even pools and ponds can be highlighted using downlighting. Downlighting is also the best way to light up an area – so an outdoor dining or social space should be lit up from above rather than below.
