TL;DR
An accent lighting plan is the layout drawing for a landscape lighting job that marks where uplights, well lights, and wash fixtures will highlight trees, stonework, columns, and other focal features. It specifies fixture types, beam spreads, lumen output, and wire runs back to the low-voltage transformer, usually on a 12-volt system.
What it means
An accent lighting plan is the layout drawing for a landscape lighting job that marks where uplights, well lights, and wash fixtures will highlight trees, stonework, columns, and other focal features. It specifies fixture types, beam spreads, lumen output, and wire runs back to the low-voltage transformer, usually on a 12-volt system. A good plan layers accents against path and area lighting so the yard reads as a scene rather than a runway. Designers often demo the layout at night with temporary fixtures before trenching the wire.
