Special Effects with Low Voltage Landscape Lighting
Walls and fences tend to tower when you place lights on the ground in front of them and face the lamps to reflect the light upward. Foliage, like ivy, growing along and on top of the walls will be able to show itself off at night with the help of some lighting. You can also bounce light onto your front porch with a hanging lamp or outdoor chandelier.
