In addition to providing brightness, carefully placed lighting can help create a mood or ambiance in your garden. While it’s easy to understand the benefits of outdoor lighting, it’s a bit more overwhelming to figure out what type of lighting to select, as there are a lot of options.
Let’s look at the brightest trends for this year.
The Brightest Trends in Outdoor Lighting

You can use the filters with white lights to bring out extra warmth or create a cool tone. To create dramatic settings and focus attention on landscape highlights you can use color filters.
