In the outdoor lighting industry, you have seen me write or heard me speak about the vast array of fixtures and lamps (light bulbs) available to suit just about any purpose imaginable. Most were created to accommodate a specific primary application.<\/p>\n
There are quite a few landscape lighting projects in the Austin, TX and hill country areas that have used only PAR well lights<\/strong><\/a><\/span> to illuminate a house, trees and everything else.\u00a0 These projects were very likely installed by an irrigation or landscape company that adds a little lighting as an extra revenue stream for their company. Not to say that there aren\u2019t landscape or irrigation companies that can and do install quality landscape lighting systems and take the task seriously, but more are not trained lighting designers.\u00a0 While these PAR landscape lights look better than no lighting at all, it doesn\u2019t look like it should and would if it were designed using the proper fixtures, lamps and lenses for the many desired effects.<\/p>\n
