There are several reasons why you should choose to install proper outdoor lighting for the pathway of your property. Of course, the top main purpose of it is to ensure your safety and the house’s security at night. But other than that, pathway lighting is very helpful to keep you, your family, and guests away from accidents such as trippings. Thus, it enhances your user experience when navigating within the vicinity of the property.
On the other hand, you can give a new twist when installing outdoor path lighting to make your outdoors safer and at the same time beautiful. There are many techniques to choose from to illuminate the pathway or walkway. Choosing why one to use on your own property may be a challenge but once done, it is worth it.
In this blog, we will share with you four of the best outdoor lights to make your pathway extraordinary.
Path Lights
Using path lights may be the most common when installing lights for a path or walkway that connects the outdoors leading to the front of your house. But it doesn’t mean that you can’t spice things up a bit to make the experience of using it anew.
Path lighting gives a subtle but effective way of illuminating the area to be able to see the ground where you walk on clearly. In most cases, these path lights are designed with a top hat feature where it blocks the light directed upwards and redirects the glare downwards that lights up the ground.
Bollard Lights
Compared to the traditional path lights, bollards come with a variety of designs to choose from. The light it illuminates is more subtle than what a traditional path light produces. But don’t misunderstand that the light it illuminates is strong enough to light an area or spot.
Bollards don’t just come with different designs but also have other sizes, heights, and color temperatures that you can choose from. These are usually made from die-cast aluminum, steel, or concrete polymer that can withstand natural elements outside and weather changes. Its durability is what makes it more popular to use on landscaping because it also adds ambiance even when its lights are turned off during daytime because of its designs.
Core Drilled Lights
In some instances, installing traditional path lights or bollards is not ideal. Installing them depends on the design of the outdoors and on how it will impact the overall look of the pathway. And when it happened, another pathway lighting that is good to consider is the core drilled lights.
This type of lighting technique is used when we need to place a directional light fixture in concrete to produce the best lighting effects. This adds a good dramatic effect to the overall look of not just the pathway but also your house. This type of lighting fixture is installed directly to the concrete pathway which makes it seamless and almost unnoticeable during the daytime.
Downlights
When your pathway has trees on the sides, a downlight is a great option to use for lighting. To do this, a fixture is installed up in the trees or a wall that illuminates lights in a downward direction. It is giving a shadowy effect to the leaves and branches making it look almost like natural lighting at night.
