Deck and Outdoor Lighting Zones
When deciding your outdoor lighting zones and design, it's important to consider what the areas will be used for and how you want the overall portion of the living space to feel when out at night. Also, are there specific landscape or architectural features you want to highlight throughout the night? Would you want to have a bright backyard space in one area and a mildly illuminated section on the other side of the yard?
Why Plan Outdoor Lighting Zones?
Because each outdoor lighting zone will be grouped on a single system connected to the main transformer or based off of its own lighting transformer. Each deck lighting zone then can be controlled independently from the others depending upon how the homeowner is using their space.
