An outdoor LED spot light is a directional luminaire that produces a narrow beam of light to illuminate a specifically defined area. Accent lighting using spot lights can create visual hierarchies within the landscape, enabling attention to be drawn to and focused on certain objects. A spot light features a tight beam with a field angle less than 30°. The high intensity illumination over a smaller area is used to show off key focal points in the landscape. The focal points are generally trees, shrubs, fountains, statues, monuments, and architectural installations. It helps to add drama, enhance the prominence, and bring out the intrinsic charm of these focal points.
Landscape lighting designers often install spot lights to create a point of particular interest. LED spot lights are used to implement a variety of landscape lighting techniques which contributes to a layered nightscape. Some of the popular techniques that are created by spot lights include spot lighting, uplighting, moonlighting, grazing, silhouetting, and shadowing.
