About this collection

Path & Step Lighting Ideas, explained.

Path lights are the one kind of outdoor lighting everyone needs. These designs use low bollards, recessed step lights and wall-mounted fixtures to make walks, steps and driveways safe without turning the garden into a runway.

Space fixtures further apart than you think, alternate sides of the path and light the steps from the risers. Save the schemes that match your walkway material.
