One thing about garden lighting is that it's sometimes hard for consumers to image what it's really going to look like in the landscape.
This "Taos" square outdoor LED light from Lightology is one of the company's best-sellers, likely because it has a low voltage power supply and the lamp can be directed up or down. It also comes in a round version.
What's unusual about Lightology is that it's outdoor lighting can be seen in a natural setting … a "Garden in the Sky" in downtown Chicago atop the building where Lightology is located. It's open to the public during normal business hours, but Lightology also donates the space for charity events, and uses it for seminars and its own functions as well.
It's a great space to inspect outdoor lighting up close and enjoy the skyline views of the city while you're at it. The garden's walkways and planters were constructed of the Brazilian hardwood ipe, and there's also a sheltered area made of welded copper piping with climbers ascending and covering the structure for quite an effect. So as well as the lighting show, there's a great roof garden design that would be well worth a visit the next time you're in the Windy City.
