Most of the lighting design courses for landscaping are focused on selecting the luminaire, the theory of landscape lighting, and installation. They lack the “How-to” for lighting calculation and specifications. Landscaping is indeed more of an “Art”, but the safety and security of the user are greatly considered in this application. Therefore lighting standards, proper design, and specifications are highly recommended.
