Pathlighting
It's never seen in nature, so its unusual effect demands attention. Uplighting is dramatic and
is usually reserved for highlighting focal points. This technique's flair for drama augments
large shadows that could be considered design elements in the scene themselves. Uplighting is
achieved by locating the source, the fixture, close to the ground and aiming the light upwards.
Wall washing and grazing, sign lighting and large specimen tree lighting are all achieved through Uplighting techniques. Uplighting is generally a large portion of a commercial lighting system and NightscapingŪ has designed and engineered many different tools and fixtures to create those effects.
