We recommend placing path lights 3 to 6 feet apart to ensure your pathway or garden is well-lit.

Make sure there is 7 feet of clearance between the ground and the bottom of your light fixture.

To highlight your house numbers or mailbox, choose a wall light with a metal shade to focus the light downward.

Elevate your garden or frame your front door with planters. For a colder climate, we recommend frost-proof materials like fiberstone, steel, or teak.
