A Simple Guide to Layering Outdoor Lighting

Great outdoor lighting is layered, not scattered. Plan each layer to do a specific job.

Path lighting

Guide footsteps with low, glare-free fixtures spaced a few feet apart.

Facade and accent lighting

Wash walls and highlight architecture to give the home depth after dark.

Keep it durable

Choose weather-rated fixtures and you will enjoy them for many seasons.

Start with the path, then add accents, and finish with a warm welcome at the door.
