The courtyard scenery is meticulously matched and shaped with landscape and plants, making it highly ornamental during the day. However, if the scenery of the courtyard can only be appreciated during the day, it is a pity. Therefore, it is particularly important to present the courtyard scenery better at night. To ensure that the beautiful courtyard scenery does not fade at night, it is necessary to present the beauty of the courtyard at night through lighting design, while also paying attention to its safety, such as lighting the roads, obstacles, and corners in the courtyard. That is to say, the nighttime landscape lighting design of the courtyard should also be an indispensable part of the courtyard landscape design. So, how to design courtyard landscape lighting?
1、 Key points of courtyard lighting layout
1. Subject light
The main light is usually used to illuminate the main objects and their surrounding areas in the scene, and to project the main objects. The main shading relationship is determined by the subject light, including the direction of projection.
2. Auxiliary light
Auxiliary light is used to fill shadow areas and scene areas that have been missed by the main light, to reconcile the contrast between light and dark areas, and to form depth and hierarchy of field. Due to the need to achieve a soft lighting effect, the brightness of the auxiliary light is usually only 50% -80% of the main light.
3. Background light
Its function is to increase the brightness of the background, thereby highlighting the subject and separating the subject object from the background. Generally, floodlights are used, and the brightness should be dim rather than too bright.
2、 Courtyard Landscape Lighting Design

The water feature lighting in courtyard lighting design does not need to be too bright, but should be more artistic and creative in design, improving its viewing ability, and creating a water feature lighting environment atmosphere. Luminaires can be selected with small size, unique design, and good concealment. LED light sources such as underwater lights, decorative lights, music fountain lights, decorative headgear, etc.
2. Plant lighting
Plant floodlights are generally divided into two types: lawn lights and tree floodlights. When used in courtyards, it can create a beautiful night environment atmosphere, but it is also important to use them reasonably according to the environment to prevent excessive or bright light from damaging the overall atmosphere.

Generally, sample lamps or low mini spotlights can be used, and sunken street lamps can also be installed to illuminate the edges of the road or deck, not only illuminating the road, but also aesthetically pleasing.
4. Courtyard entrance
The entrance lighting of the courtyard is designed according to the entrance conditions, and column head lights can be selected, or ordinary lights can be installed inside the door.
