When choosing light fixtures and lamps for a landscape lighting plan, you'll encounter a number of electrical and photometric specifications such as watts, volt-amps, and lumens, as well as some more obscure ones, like color temperature.

We'll also discuss the role (or lack thereof) played by color temperature in wildlife-safe lighting.
