Landscape Moonlighting FAQs

What is moonlighting in landscape lighting?

Moonlighting is a lighting technique where fixtures are placed high in trees or on structures to create a soft, diffused light that mimics the moon’s natural glow, casting gentle shadows below. A moonlighting landscape lighting system provides subtle luminance, adding ambiance and nighttime visibility around your home and yard.

What’s the difference between moonlighting, downlighting, and uplighting?

Downlighting casts light from above, often for broader illumination. Moonlighting is a type of downlighting that involves mounting lights high to mimic the moon’s evening shine, creating soft shadows. Uplighting directs light from the ground upward, emphasizing trees or structures.

What landscape lighting can be used to create a moonlight effect?

Lighting Warehouse has curated this selection of outdoor moonlighting lights, but there are ways to create a landscape lighting moonlight effect with other exterior lights. Use softer LED landscape lights mounted high in trees or structures to achieve a moonlight effect. Angle the lights downward to create the look of natural lighting that emulates the night.

How do I install moonlighting in my landscape?

To install moonlighting, mount fixtures high in trees or structures, aiming the light downwards for a natural, moonlit effect. Consult a professional for optimal placement and wiring, especially for high installations.

Can I combine moonlighting with other landscape lighting techniques?

Yes, moonlighting can be combined with dark sky approved lights, path lighting, and various uplighting or downlighting styles for a layered lighting design that adds depth, highlights specific features, and creates a balanced ambiance in your landscape.
