LED art lighting landscape is a new lighting term formed in the new century. LED art lighting landscape is the light source adopting LED lamps, based on specific art effect design and circuit control software and hardware system design, and completed by professional construction services, with artistic and ornamental Sexual art lighting landscape.

Because LED has small size, long life, environmental protection and strong controllability, especially in art lighting landscape, color light is often used. When using colored light, the efficiency of LED is more than twenty times that of incandescent lamp, not only energy saving. The effect is obvious and the price is competitive. When the art lighting landscape needs to use dynamic scenes, the advantages of LED are highlighted. So far, the application of LED as a light source in the art lighting landscape has been the mainstream.

2. LED art lighting landscape and similar lighting terminology

The terms similar to the art lighting landscape include floodlighting, lighting engineering, facade lighting, architectural lighting, landscape lighting, outdoor lighting, etc., which are now separately analyzed.

Flood Lighting: The term originated in the 1970s, because early buildings used high-power floodlights (or floodlights) to brighten the exterior walls of buildings. This term is used to describe the lighting method of a building exterior wall.

Lighting Project: The term originated in the 1990s, when government departments promoted the city's lighting projects. Therefore, some cities are also called lighting projects, which are mostly used in government departments. The term is broad in scope, and sometimes road lighting, temporary holiday decorations are included, and the use of the term is decreasing due to unclear connotations.

Cascade Lighting: The use of architectural design institutes is increasing to replace the term “flooding lighting”, which is the illumination of the exterior walls of buildings, especially with various curtain walls. Obviously the term is limited to buildings and has a narrow range. . In addition, the term "lighting" is intuitive in the sense of Chinese, which is more illuminating and more functional. In addition to the meaning of lighting, the corresponding English term lighting also has the meaning of lighting. The facade of the building needs mainly not illumination, but the light is used to better express the facade at night to better reflect the architecture. The night image, so the term façade lighting is better.

Architectural lighting: This term is also ambiguous. First, the term sometimes covers indoor functional lighting and architectural facade lighting, and the term lighting is used to mean partial functional lighting.
