Landscape lighting is one of those finishing touches that helps to complete any outdoor space, explains Donny Duke. director of design, Engledow Estates. Landscape lighting is used for not only security of your property, but also helps add to the ambiance of your outdoor living space.
Lighting technology has advanced rapidly in recent years and we are here to talk about some of these innovations.
Upgrading your landscape lighting will soon become a necessity. US government has phased out the use of incandescent bulbs by this year, meaning that many peoples landscape lights will soon have to be replaced with something else. Most people will start using LED bulbs in their landscape lighting. LEDs, although they have a higher up-front cost, will be better for you in the long run.

The phase-out of traditional incandescent bulbs in the U.S. and elsewhere, as well as a growing interest in energy efficiency, has given LED lighting a sales boost. However, that trend could be short-lived as key materials known as rare earth elements become more expensive. Scientists have now designed new materials for making household LED bulbs without using these ingredients. They report their development in ACS' Journal of the American Chemical Society.
LED lighting, which can last years longer than conventional bulbs, is an energy-efficient alternative. Switching lighting to LEDs over the next two decades, reports the U.S. Department of Energy, "could save the country $250 billion in energy costs over that period, reduce the electricity consumption for lighting by nearly one half, and avoid 1,800 million metric tons of carbon emission." White LED bulbs are already on store shelves, but the light is generally "colder" than the warm glow of traditional bulbs. Plus, most of these lights are made with rare earth elements that are increasingly in-demand for use in almost all other high-tech devices, thus adding to the cost of the technology. Jing Li's research team set out to solve the issues of material sources and pricing.
The researchers designed a family of materials that don't include rare earths but instead are made out of copper iodide, which is an abundant compound. They tuned them to glow a warm white shade or various other colors using a low-cost solution process. "Combining these features, this material class shows significant promise for use in general lighting applications," the scientists conclude.

A brighter design emerges for low-cost, 'greener' LED light bulbs

A pair of researchers with the New Zealand research institute Scion, has found that flying invertebrates are more attracted to LED lights than to conventional outdoor lighting. In their paper published in the journal, Ecological Applications, Stephen Pawson and Martin Bader describe a simple study they carried out to see how attractive lighting was to flying bugs and what they found in doing so.
LEDs are in the news of course, because the trio of researchers that invented the blue-light variety just won the Nobel Prize in physics. Their work has led to LEDs that are bright enough to use in regular lighting applications but use far less energy and last much longer. In this new effort, the research pair suggests that there is a side-effect of LED lighting that might cause ecological problems.
Modern street lights are generally sodium vapor lampsthey're more efficient than most other pre-LED lighting and emit yellow rather than white light. Insects, as we all know are attracted to light, white or yellow, but it seems they are even more attracted to blue light, and that's the kind of light that is generated by LED bulbsthey only look white because of a phosphor coating that stretches much of the light into a longer wavelength. We may not be able to see the blue light, but bugs can.
To find out just how much more attractive moths, flies, etc., find LEDs (as compared to sodium vapor lamps) the researchers set sticky paper next to both types of lights out in a field for a period of time at night, then collected the results and counted how many specimens they'd captured. They found that the paper next to the LEDs had approximately 48 percent more bugs than those next to traditional lighting. This could be a problem they suggest because it could mean LEDs are interfering with food webs or drawing more flying critters into urban areasin one extreme example they note putting LED lights at seaports could contribute to the spread of invasive species such as gypsy moths.
The researchers also tried the same experiment using different LED brands and types and with different filters but found the results remained the samethe bugs came at all of them in hordes.
