DO's

1. Focus on lighting the house first:

To get started with the outdoor lighting, begin with your house lighting first. You should start with your house first because doing so will give you an exact idea of how much lighting you would need when moving ahead to the pool and yard.

2. Benefit from multiple layering:

This is one of the most impactful and loved techniques, says DC outdoor landscape lighting experts. By multiple layering, they mean to use different lighting options in different angles as a spotlight to other objects instead of using an actual bright spotlight.

3. Creative with pathway light:

When it comes to pathway lighting, experimenting is the best option to explore what fits the best to your yard pathway. 

Try out and go with lighting options that match the vibes and intensity of your pathway. Though not to forget to keep it bright as well on the same hand.

DON’Ts

1. Don’t overdo:

DC outdoor landscape lighting experts actually suggest their client’s to not overdo and put a lot of lighting on their setup because most people end up doing this, which actually destroys the whole exterior lighting fixtures and their effect. Only add/install the lighting which is necessary and looks nice.

2. Don’t place lights in a straight line:

Never ever do this, place your lights in an innovative and creative way, in a pattern, in a shape but never in a straight line. It is not bad to put them in a straight line but it does not look so impressive.
