Discover the magic of outdoor lighting with the Light Simulation Tool
Your backyard is a living canvas, full of quiet beauty and subtle movement. The light falling through the branches, the garden bed that looks a little different every day, the pathway you walk on every day. But as soon as the sun sets, it all just disappears into the dark.
That is about to change. Experience for yourself what the right lighting does for your outdoor spaces after dark without having to install any fixtures. With the in-lite Light Simulation Tool, the possibilities are endless.
What is the Light Simulation Tool?
The Light Simulation Tool is a free online tool created by in-lite, designed to show you what outdoor lighting can do for your outdoor spaces in a matter of seconds. You take or choose a photo of your own backyard as a starting point and upload it into the tool. The Light Simulation Tool turns the photo into a realistic nighttime view, with soft shadows and outdoor lighting. You experience how your backyard comes to life as the sun goes down.
How it works
Discover what outdoor lighting can do in 3 steps.
- Snap a photo
Take a photo of your outdoor space (or choose one from your camera roll). - Tell the tool what to light up
A beautiful tree, a garden bed along the patio, or the steps by the back door. - See the result
Within seconds you get the result, ready to save and share as a PDF.
That is all you need. No design experience, no technical knowledge. Just your phone and the Light Simulation Tool.
What will you light up?
In the tool, you simply check what you want to light, such as a tree, a pathway, the driveway, or your covered patio. You decide which spots get light and which stay dark.
Want more control? In the text box, you can add your own wishes before the tool gets to work. Think of colored lighting or path lights and integrated path lighting. That way, you can easily adjust the nighttime view until it is exactly how you pictured it.
From nighttime view to your in-lite backyard
Happy with the result? Share it easily from your phone, send it to your landscape contractor/builder, or take it along to an in-lite dealer near you. Together, you can turn your vision to reality.
