Creating a meandering path of light is a great way to control sightlines and make your homes garden feel larger at night. When looking at lighting your pathway, we recommend that you offset the positioning by staggering them diagonally across from one another and not all on the same side – or directly opposite from each other, preventing your pathway from looking like a runway.

By offsetting your lights, it creates a sense of balance. When choosing your pathway lights take height into consideration; for a nice even glow, your lights should be installed 35cm high. LED bollards are highly recommended as they will keep your costs low with reduced power consumption and options in colour temperature globes. Select one that will enhance the visual appearance of your home’s exterior. Visit our globe guide advice from the link below:

Looking for pathway lighting doesn’t always mean your lighting has to run directly on the edge of your walkway, you can combine your pathway lighting with a few focused garden spotlights in your flower beds to highlight your shrubs and smaller trees. LED exterior spike lights are ideal as they can easily be moved to suit the changing seasons and plant growth, allowing you to easily adapt your lighting for your shrubs effectively. The key to successful garden lighting is to only see the effect of the lighting and not the source itself.
