3. Combining uplighting and downlighting

Downlighting should be used for ground-level points of interest, like ponds and water features. Bodies of water are particularly good candidates because they reflect light from above in a spectacular fashion. Downlighting is also used to illuminate large outdoor living areas, often to mimic moonlight and remain fairly unnoticed.

Upward lighting is usually used less because it usually contains more visual impact. Well-chosen focal points and neglected, almost featureless areas of the landscape are common candidates for upward lighting. It is often used to accentuate a home's nighttime presence by accentuating its architectural elements.

Uplighting softens areas that are lit downwards from the ground, making them more subtle and therefore more natural looking.

The two technologies combine to add multiple light angles for a more natural feel - just like you would see in nature.
