Path & Garden Lighting Techniques
Spread lighting produces patterns of concentric circles of light downward for illuminating flower beds, low shrubs, and ground cover. In general, the size of the light-spread area is determined by the height, size, and lamp wattage of the lighting fixture used. Path lighting is basically spread lighting but at a lower height. This technique of lighting is ideal for illuminating pathways, borders, steps, and driveways. In this type of lighting, a high degree of light shielding is necessary to prevent glare. Use lower-wattage lights positioned close to areas that could potentially cause tripping or other safety hazards. Use overlapping pools of light for beauty, safety, and to provide adequate lighting for sure footing. From a height of less than 30 inches, these lights are often directed downward to provide illumination for small areas and to identify objects or boundaries.
