❌ Avoid using only high-brightness white light (above 5000 K) : Cold white light can make the courtyard lose its warmth and also highlight the flaws of the architecture and landscape. It is recommended to mainly use warm white light (2700 K- 3500 K).
❌ Blindly choosing colored lights: Using large areas of colored light can easily make the courtyard look messy and cheap, and is only suitable for small areas to embellish landscape nodes (such as green plants, water features).

One thing that bothers me is how people just put floodlights everywhere with no care how the beam is projected over what they want to illuminate. Like people install floodlights right over their garage door or some other low spot that makes them point the beam almost completely horizontal and ending up casting light directly towards the neighbors windows and they are quite an eye sore like that almost makes it harder to see sometimes.

Man I feel that! Some IR floodlights can make driving dicey in the dark in urban area.
Take everything I say with a pinch of salt, I might be wrong and it's a very *expensive* way to learn!
