Why do you need pond lighting?

Although most people do not take advantage of this because they can't see how much difference it does to your whole area. In here, we're going to talk about some of the Best Pond Lighting Ideas for you to try out into your own space and explore the luminous vibe of incorporating Pond Lighting Fixtures.

Pond lighting ideas for your landscape

Here are a few simple pond lighting tricks that you can implement in your garden to make it even more beautiful as they are. All it takes is a little bit of creativity and imagination to achieve your dream garden pond finally. 

Light Up Your Waterfalls from the Top - If you're working on improving your overall garden pond's look, you're going to have a ton of lighting design opportunities through your waterfalls. There's just something about those live water that constantly flows, creating the atmosphere through silent water sounds. Lighting them up is a huge step forward in making them as magical as they already are. You can do this by simply placing a lighting fixture up from where the water is coming from. This creates an illusion that the waterfalls came from some mystical source and just made it all around more beautiful as it glares slightly through the falls themselves.

Glow Effect from Lights Under Falls - Another significant waterfalls effect is placing the lighting under the falls itself by using submersible lighting that can glow underneath the water. This is excellent to create that mysterious water vibe that radiates as it flows underneath. Illusion is your best friend when it comes to pond lighting designs, and utilizing different types of lighting schemes would make so much more difference—transforming your waterfalls from lovely to extraordinary.

Let Your Pond Lights Float - There are virtually no rules when it comes to design and creativity. Using pond lights that float like water lilies and look like lanterns is excellent to add depth to your overall pond design. This outdoor design and feel are ideal for party occasions, creating lovely scenery for you and your guests.

Hide Your Lightings On Your Rocks for Glare Effect - Using everything in your arsenal is excellent for achieving extraordinary results. Most ponds have rocks that add texture to the whole outdoor space. This is a perfect opportunity for you to hide lights underneath them and create a glowing illusion. The idea is not to allow you or your guests to see where the lights are coming from. This will captivate your guests' attention and is a great way to showcase your creativity regarding landscaping design.

Explore Color Changing Lights for Your Pond - Do not hesitate to add different and multiple colors into your garden pond landscape design. There are many lighting schemes and patterns to choose from instead of settling for just one. This adds life to your garden pond and creates captivating scenery at night.

Exterior Lights Around Your Pond is Necessary Too - One of the most common mistakes of pond landscaping is not illuminating the exterior part area surrounding the pond. This will result in a dull and incomplete feel even if you already have lighting fixtures set under or above the pond itself. Lightings don't have to be excessive. Just understanding the positioning or corners makes the difference, like night and day.

Light Up Featured Elements - The key to an outstanding landscape design is utilizing the items you already understand, what you want to highlight, and be seen by your guests. This also works for the elements around your garden pond. Suppose you have a small fountain or figurine, don't hesitate to light them up as they will create more depth and personality to your own space. 

Use Pond Lights to Illumintate Water Features - There is nothing more soothing than a beautiful water feature in a stunning landscape design. Ponds and water fountains grace the properties of those homeowners who desire a reflective surface and a mix of everything nature has to offer. If you are the illustrious owner of a beautiful water element, you know that lighting is the key to making it stand out to become a key feature in your landscape design. Pond lights are available in a wide variety of styles and colors and they are easy to install. They can be used to illuminate the area from underneath the water or as a reflective ambiance on the surface to provide a stunning view when the sun goes down.

Types of Pond Lights

Choose your pond lights based on whether you want to light a small section of the pond or make it a standout feature. Some homeowners use ponds as accessories and light them dimly to subtly enhance the entire landscape. Others feature water elements and make them the main focus. In these cases, the lights would need to be strong enough to illuminate the entire feature.

For a subdued illumination that lights the surface of the water in a subtle way, select floating pond lights. They float on top of the water and direct light away from the surface while offering a mild glow. These types of lights can also be purchased as submersible LED pond lights. Place them under the water so the light is directed upward creating a unique and slightly dramatic effect on the surface of the water.

Homeowners love LED lights because they last long and are inexpensive to operate due to the low voltage. They also come in many different colors and some offer programmable color settings.

If you really want to highlight a water feature and draw every eye to it, install spotlights. Use them under the water to highlight stunning waterfalls or elegant pond statues. Experiment with different colors to change the look and style of the water. Research the brightness of each light before you purchase so you can match what you want correctly.

Installation Tips

Planning is the first step top any landscape lighting design. Consider first what you envision in terms of style and design. Sketch your plan and include safety limitations, required power and the number of lights. This step is very important and if done correctly, it can save you hours of future headaches.

Uniting water with electricity is not always an easy task. There are many variables to consider from a safety standpoint. If you are at all hesitant or you are a complete novice, consider hiring a professional. If your budget is tight, hire a consultant to help you plan out the details and give you pointers on installing the lights safely. Perform the necessary research beforehand and take extra caution to work slowly.

A lit water feature takes a landscape from ordinary to extraordinary in a short period of time. A few pond lights can make a drastic difference and give you the feeling of landscape luxury you always wanted.
