When it comes to paths and steps, lighting needs to be practical to prevent trips and falls. Fortunately, there are plenty of options that look good, add ambiance and safely light the way. Fixtures can be subtle at night and nearly disappear during the day, or they can make a statement and enhance the overall design when the sun’s up.
Whether you choose hard-wired, battery-powered or solar lights, the key is to avoid fixtures that create glare, which could dazzle and disorient. It’s also worth considering timers or motion sensors, so lights turn on when needed but don’t disrupt wildlife all night.
