Dear Ben,

1. The main purpose of the light is to `redress' the missing corner.

2. If your garden has an outline of the missing corner e.g. landscaping done so that when one has a top-view of your plot of land, it shows an outline or profile of the `missing corner'.

If this has been done, then it is not a necessity to have a garden light point.

If Para 2, is `available' i.e. if you have landscaping done - then it is not necessary. But if you want to place a lighting under this `condition' then, a low walkway light should be acceptable or the 1-2 feet tall type will do.

3. If there is no landscaping and you are using only a `street lamp' then, it is advisable to use a taller post e.g. 6 to 7 feet type. The purpose here is to provide `maximum' lighting for the area. (The ingredient here is to have a wider dispersion of lighting). Therefore a high level lamp is better choice i.e. 6 to 7 feet type depending on how much one drives the post down to the ground.

4. Usually, the lamp should not:-

4.1 become a poison arrow i.e. slicing thru any windows or doors. Usually this is not the case if it is diagionally set at the missing corner. But do watch out for it.

4.2 Ideally, the cover should `clear' circular type of lamp. Or lamps that `point symbolically upwards' eg.

type of configuration. And avoid it pointing downwards.

4.3 As you had mentioned, the other alternative is to use `spot-light' fixed on the side of the house pointing light towards the `missing corner'.

But in my opinion, the best option is still the `street lamp' or as mentioned under Para 3 above .. (if no landscaping is done). Here, the lamp post when viewed from the air (top-down) would symbollically form a `DOT' to join the missing corners.

This is the best alternative - when no landscaping has been done as mentioned under Para 2..

The type of lighting tube e.g. warm or cool-white light does not really matter. Both are acceptable.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
