Natural changes occur to make the landscape show its own charm at night; the street lights on both sides of the park road should have uniform and continuous illumination to meet the needs of safety.
Floodlights are generally placed on the pavement, and the sorting method is clarified according to the type and appearance of the landscape flowers and trees in the garden; a string of low-output LED lamp beads can be installed on the branches to obtain the actual effect of the decorative design; For sculptures, often illuminate the part of the subject of the face and the front face of the image.
