If you're adding outdoor lights, here are five types you can consider, according to Kyle McKelvy, president of Oregon Outdoor Lighting in Oregon City:

Post lights: These offer a decorative way to provide light for a well-traveled path, stairs or steps that will be used at night. For the light itself, prices start at $100 on up.

Low-voltage lighting: LED lighting, low-voltage lights, path lights, spot lights, up lights, accent lights and eyebrow lights all generally fall in this category, which offers the widest range of options.

For the DIYer, prices start at $30 per light and go to $100 or more. This doesn't include wire, connections to get the light in the ground, the landscape lighting wire transformer or labor. Starting price for a professional grade fixture that's installed is $250 per light and can go up to $500 per light.

String lights: Flickering white lights can be added to tree branches. Prices range depending on the length of the string lights (generally 10 to 50 feet in length) and quality, but generally start at $10 or $25 for commercial grade.

Underwater lighting: This is a sub-category of low-voltage or LED lighting, with the difference being that these fixtures need to be watertight.

As such, prices generally start at $50, though a high quality colored light can run as high as $400. Professional grade installed starts at $400.

ATLANTA Circuit of The Americas (COTA), is a world-class performance, education and business center and home to the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix and 2014 ESPN Summer X Games. COTA now features Acuity Brands, Inc. (NYSE:AYI) outdoor lighting controls for site and maintenance management of its lighting systems. COTA selected the ROAMview wireless lighting monitoring and control system to help manage the outdoor lighting of its 1,335-acre site including the racetrack, associated facilities and parking lots.

The ROAMview system uses an automated central system with software that reports which lights are on and off, allowing COTA to more closely control lighting and maintenance and react immediately to lighting failures. ROAMview offers the flexibility to wirelessly adjust lighting at an individual fixture level on a daily basis for a variety of events. System benefits include reducing energy consumption and maintenance time and costs.

The system is exceeding expectations; it successfully maintains parking lot, roadway and public walkway lighting with flexibility, said Leo Garcia, COTA head electrician of energy management. It has created a safe and manageable environment for a multitude of events and situations.

COTA installed 139 ROAMview control nodes across the campus. The majority of the nodes were placed on metal halide fixtures within parking lots, along the main street at the venue (COTA Boulevard) as well as on new pedestrian walkways and roadways. ROAMview nodes were also installed in a newly constructed paddock area used for staging equipment.

COTA uses five lighting control scenarios with 10 individual zones to ensure the perfect lighting for every event such as concerts and Grand Prix races. The different scenarios and zones maintain traffic control and safety for pedestrians.

After installing and operating the ROAMview system, the control abilities at COTA have proved versatile and achieved positive feedback. Venue staff has expressed a high level of satisfaction, said Garcia. The ability to easily adjust light settings across such a large area from one central location has made turning on and off lights really flexible for staff, so we hear a lot of positive feedback.

Lighting is an important yet often overlooked landscape element. Properly placed, it enhances curb appeal, safety and security and also can set a mood and spotlight architectural details.

Use outdoor lighting to showcase a dramatic flowering vine or shrub, accent a sculptural tree or draw out texture within plants. Light up a path or walkway leading to your front entry or identify a point of interest or other visual destination. Create visual effects on a secluded gazebo or outdoor dining room. Or use lighting to capture a waterfall, fountain or other water feature in motion.

Start at the beginning

To begin your outdoor lighting plan, first start with how you currently use and hope to use your yard. Think about the areas that need to be well-lit for safety such as walkways and pathways as well as barbecue and prep areas for outdoor entertaining. Task lighting provides a practical solution for these type of areas or when performing specific activities.

Another way to bring in light is to flank pathways and walkways with solar lights or path lighting. Use built-in step lights to effectively illuminate stairs or place lights on a wall adjacent to the stairwell. Another way to light up steps is to mount "eyebrow" lights on deck rails or posts.

Add accent and ambient lighting

Spotlights and uplights create shadow play and visual effects that cleverly summons the eye to a sculptural tree, statuary or other focal point.

The key to creating accent lighting is to feel its effect without seeing the light source. Shine the light on the feature you want to accent while camouflaging the light source behind a plant, rock or another small structure.

Ambient lighting provides overall illumination, creating a magical ambiance found beneath the star-studded sky and soft glow of a full moon. Often referred to as the "moonlight effect," the goal is to create a beautiful balance between shadows and intense highlights. One way to accomplish that is to weave flickering white lights in the branches of a tree or to mount a few light fixtures on a stable tree limb.

Consider the power source
