Pathway lighting

There are many ways to light a garden path. You can choose bollards, recessed lights, outdoor spotlights or even wall lights if the path runs alongside your home or a fence. But which option works best for your layout?

Discover the best solutions for pathway lighting that will make your garden look beautiful after dark.

A little extra light is always helpful, especially at night. Pathway lighting helps you move safely around your garden and home while also adding atmosphere. High-quality fixtures bring your outdoor space to life once the sun sets.

If you plan to install path lighting yourself, elegant bollards or carefully positioned ground spots are a great starting point. With thoughtful placement, you can also create interesting light patterns along the path.

How to create sufficient light along your pathway

You can light your garden path in many different ways, but consistent lighting is essential. Using multiple fixtures ensures that the entire path remains clearly visible.

The distance between fixtures depends on the type of lamp. Bollards are usually placed about 2 to 2,5 metres apart to provide balanced illumination. Ground spots are typically positioned 1 to 2 metres apart, depending on their size and light output.

Looking for reliable options? Below are our top three picks from the in-lite collection for lighting garden paths.

1. in-lite ACE

At the top of the list is the in-lite ACE. Like the LIV, it is a standing outdoor light, but with a more modern design. The adjustable LED head allows you to direct the beam either close to the fixture or further along the path, creating a striking grazing light effect.

The ACE is available in five different colours and is easy to install. It can be mounted on a hard surface or placed in the ground using a spike for softer soil. For a cohesive lighting design, you can also combine it with matching wall lights from the ACE series. That versatility is exactly why the ACE is our number one choice for garden path lighting.

2. in-lite HYVE

Looking for a more creative lighting effect along your garden path? The in-lite HYVE allows you to create a subtle 'starlight' look in your paving.

By combining the HYVE 22 and HYVE 60, you can produce a soft and natural lighting pattern that guides the way without overwhelming the space. These compact ground spots feature a honeycomb lens and refined rings, giving them a clean and modern appearance.

HYVE fixtures can be installed easily in concrete, wood or natural stone and are strong enough to drive over, making them suitable for both garden paths and driveways. They also integrate perfectly with other in-lite fixtures, helping you create a consistent garden lighting design.

3. in-lite LIV

This standing outdoor light has become one of the most recognisable fixtures for garden paths, thanks to its clean design and warm white light. The in-lite LIV illuminates your path evenly while adding a refined look to the garden. It is available in several finishes, including Dark Grey, Rose Silver and White, so there is always a version that suits your garden style.

Prefer a more robust appearance? The Corten version offers a natural, weathered look. If you need a lower fixture, the in-lite LIV LOW provides the same elegant lighting effect in a more compact form. It also works well for patios or low planting areas.

Designing your own pathway lighting

Ready to design your own lighting setup? Try combining different sizes of ground spots, such as the in-lite FLUX, to create varied lighting effects along your path. The in-lite system is easy to expand, so you can always add extra fixtures later if needed.

Prefer standing bollards instead? Place them roughly 2 to 2,5 metres apart to maintain a balanced look along the path. And if you are unsure where to begin, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help with practical advice for your specific needs.
