Path light photometric chart<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn the landscape lighting industry, manufacturers provide these charts for every fixture. They are available for a very wide variety of fixtures and lamps, such as spot lights, flood lights and even path lights. Professional lighting designers will be able to consult these charts to determine exactly how many path lights will be needed along a certain distance, and how much light will actually be produced to illuminate that pathway. For moon lighting, we are able to determine how wide the beam of light will be, and how much will be on the ground if we place a fixture 25\u2019 high in a tree, for example. Using photometry and the corresponding fixture chart, our skilled designers are able to determine how many of these down lights are needed in a certain tree, and where they should be aimed to achieve our lighting goals for the client.<\/p>\n
Although we consider ourselves experts in the artistry of outdoor lighting design, the science behind light behavior and measurement is a critical tool that contributes to the final portrait we wish to create.
