Making judicious and safe illumination of territory

coverage of territory - considering options

First of all, practicality, secondarily beauty - so plan coverage of territory, and the entire area as a whole, zealous owners.To some extent they are right, but let us start with the efficiency with long-term view on the aesthetics.For a start, we take care of the lamps around the house, even if the margins of the night you are unlikely to need to go.

space around the house to light it is advisable, at least, for safety reasons.So, to choose from: wall-mounted lamps with shades, pendant lights with brackets, lights on poles, ground lamps with shades.The first two options direct rays of the surrounding territory of the house, the second two - light and the house itself.

bedrooms If you on the first floor, installation of lights, illuminating the exterior walls and window rails in bright rays, it would be the wrong decision.In such cases, reasonable to set the lighting between the windows directly on the wall. on a support at some distance from the house lights can be placed in the case, if a bedroom you have set aside the second floor

.In the living room as an extra source of light will not be a hindrance.

especially important to high-quality lighting, if you are using camera surveillance.The use of motion sensors to include spotlights chain may also be an additional level of security, because suddenly finding themselves in the bright, blinding ray attacker panic and instinct forces him to flee.

Outdoor Lighting house and plot, lanterns and torches

So, outdoor lighting the house is ready, even in the darkest night, all is clear as day.But here's the track, as well as the garden itself hidden in the dark, and if you want to meet the guests was late or, conversely, to escort them to the gate, step into a brightly lit area in the darkness someone is scary, especially a woman or a child.Therefore, in addition to the wall lamps at the entrance should be more along the perimeter of the area in front porch.

Next, we need to highlight the tracks, for example, lights on poles (poles or low rack), on one side or on both sides of the mirror or alternation, then right, then left.Before installation, be sure to calculate the number of points and to dig trenches for cables.However, there is another option - a solar-powered lamps.

near the gate or gates, that is at the entrance to the territory, the lighting should be much brighter than all over the garden paths .Firstly, it is better to be seen visitors who came before dawn, and secondly, and himself be calmer, if you have to go home late at night.It is useful to establish a number of low-power bulbs along the fence, it will be an obstacle for those who want to climb it.

individual light sources will be required near the farm buildings, there is better to put the lamp with shades that are protected from accidental bumps grid or mesh.It would be good to place the garden and around the decorative lighting, especially near the benches and artificial reservoirs.It is also a kind of decoration of the site will be, and fresh air to breathe in the pleasant late-lit space.

Street lighting private homes - how and where to save

Let's define at least approximately, how many light bulbs need to ensure that the entire area was at least to some extent, is illuminated.Along the track lights can be installed with a distance of 30 meters, therefore, even if the total length of all paths of 300 meters, it will turn 10 lamps.A couple at the gate.Next street lighting private homes: one lamp on each corner, and two - at the entrance.Already 18 lighting elements.

If even along the fence to place, even on a plot of 16 acres a perimeter of 160 meters, and it is at least 8 more lights.Near outbuildings backlight does not hurt.So, with the full set of living creatures in the henhouse at least two lamps in the barn for the goats and cows two, near a couple of the garage.On the site there is the gazebo?Determine for each lamp.Well, all sorts of decorative lamps for beds.In general, it turns out a lot, is not less than 50 lamps on the site.

When illuminated from the power-saving in places you visit rarely, it makes sense to install the infrared sensors so that the light comes on only after crossing the beam.

Imagine how much will flow on the counter?If you do not have a windmill, we remember about the lights above with solar panels.Each point has its own battery, rechargeable throughout the day.As soon as it gets dark, the photocell gives a signal to the inclusion and lantern flared at first dimly, and as thickening twilight brighter.Do you think, in cloudy weather, the charge will be missed?And this is despite what the elements in solar panels will stand, there are such that any light capture.

next step to saving - LED lamps.Virtually indistinguishable from the household - the same base and the bulb.But filament no longer needed, instead there are diodes that illuminate the crowd all around at a distance of 30 meters.At the same time the electricity consumed is extremely small, which in combination with solar panels give a great effect - the battery will last not only for the night, but also a reserve will remain, in case of very thick cloud layer.
