Path Lighting

Light The Way With Path Lights

Path lights are a subtle, yet effective option for the outside of the home. Coming in a variety of shapes and styles, path lighting mounts into the ground and provides a downward glow that illuminates a nearby path. This provides safety while traveling at night and enhances the aesthetics of the yard, creating a welcoming and warm space. Other features to consider for path lights is low voltage for energy-efficient homes and dimmability, which allows for an adjustment of the precise light level depending on the needs of the space. If living near the presence of seawater or environments with salt in the air, look at path lights with marine grade certification that prevents corrosion by salt. For style options, consider path lights by Visual Comfort Modern. These path lights are smooth silhouettes with distinct corners and geometric shapes for a distinctly modern touch. Another great option for lights is the selection by Hinkley. Hinkley path lights come in a variety of shapes and styles from sharp angled bodies to conical tops.

Additional Landscape Lighting Options

When the path lights in the yard are complete, consider further transformations of the yard. This can include spotlights, bollard lights and deck and step lights.

Spotlights

Spotlights mount high on the house, near the roof. They typically point downward and provide safety and security with a wide and bright glow. Spotlights often have motion detectors or sunlight detectors, only coming on when someone moves within range or only coming on when it is dark outside. Spotlights can also be mounted in the ground and pointed upward, highlighting a yard arrangement or the walls of the home to create inviting patterns and light layering.

Bollard Lights

Bollard Lights are larger post lights that can flank a wide path or a driveway. Where path lights are designed for smaller spaces like garden pathways, bollard lights can make a statement as they glow in the night.

Landscape Lighting

Landscape Lighting encompasses lights that mount in the yard, away from the house. These lights can hang in trees or they can recess underground, but either way they highlight landscape arrangements or important parts of the outside of the home.
