Water Effects
Water features make a great addition to any landscape project, bringing in a unique point of interest and subtle ambiance to any backyard or home landscape. Keep the ambiance going when the light begins to fade with the addition of lighting effects to create another element of magical luxury to statement landscape water features and small ponds.
Types of Water Feature Lighting
Water feature lighting involves more than just illuminating the areas around and inside water features and ponds. Well-applied lighting combines the landscape elements around a pond or fountain and allows the light to play with the water’s movement, creating a dynamic and interesting display. This approach to lighting installation and design expands from just traditional illumination, converting a daytime focal point into a nighttime attraction.
Submersible Lighting Fixtures – Submersible lights are waterproof, underwater fixtures that can be placed directly in a pond or fountain to cast light upward from the bottom, inward from the walls, or downward to illuminate the bottom surface. They are perfect for creating a natural glow from within a waterfall or highlighting the contours of submerged objects.
Uplighting/Spotlights – The addition of uplighting and spotlights around a water feature or pond can draw attention to the feature itself as well as tie in the surrounding natural elements. Uplighting and spotlights are the perfect consideration for ponds with surrounding rock features or water features that involve an element of height, such as a waterfall. They are an ideal solution for highlighting the textures of rocks or foliage and the dramatic cascade of a waterfall.
Underwater LED Light Strips – Create a hidden lighting element with submersible LED light strips that can be custom cut and placed beneath the ledge around a small man-made pond. This creates a continuous soft glow that defines the perimeter of a man-made pond while remaining hidden during the daytime hours.
Floating Lights – Floating lights are a great, low-cost, low-impact option to add light to small man-made garden ponds. With so many options available, these make a great addition to an existing outdoor lighting setup, or even an easy, stand-alone option. Floating lights come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and even offer solar options that allow for all-night illumination.
Spillway & Waterfall Lights – Spillway and waterfall lights can be placed directly in the water feature or waterfall, allowing the current and flow of water to play with the projected light and create dramatic lighting effects. These lights are specifically designed to be integrated into the construction of your waterfall, making the moving water a centerpiece of your nighttime landscape.
Benefits of Water Feature Lights
Adding Aesthetics & Ambiance – Water features themselves add to the ambiance of your backyard, creating a space for alternative plants to grow and creatures to congregate. The addition of professional outdoor lighting makes ponds and fountains stand out, creating a nighttime showpiece that adds to the soothing atmosphere of running water.
Safety & Visibility – Increased visibility around your property is never a bad thing, especially when you’re dealing with water. Don’t let your water feature become a water hazard. Adding outdoor lighting around water elements helps family and guests navigate your outdoor space safely, without getting wet.
Unique Features – A water feature is one of the most unique features you can add to your property. Don’t let it go unseen. The addition of outdoor lighting and water feature lighting allows your property to stand out, creating immersive lighting effects and extending its usefulness, along with your enjoyment.
