Pathway lighting

There are many ways to light a garden path. Choose from standing lamps, ground spots, outdoor spotlights, or even wall lights if your path runs alongside your home or fence. But which options are best for your layout? Discover our top picks for pathway lighting that will make your garden glow beautifully after dark.

A little extra light never hurts, especially at night! Path lighting helps you find your way around the house and garden safely. But it also plays a big role in creating ambiance. Stylish lighting brings a garden to life when the sun goes down. Want to install pathway lighting yourself? Try elegant standing lights or a set of well-placed ground spots. Strategic placement can also create unique and dynamic light patterns, but more on that later.

How to ensure sufficient light along your path

You can light your garden path however you like, but consistent lighting is key. Use multiple fixtures to ensure coverage. Placement distance depends on the lamp type. For standing lights, spacing them 2 to 2.5 meters apart usually offers good visibility. For ground spots, aim for 1 to 2 meters apart, depending on their size.

Looking for the best lighting options? Here are our top 3 picks from the in-lite collection:

3. in-lite LIV

Let’s start with a classic: the in-lite LIV. This standing fixture is one of the most popular designs for a reason. You’ll find it in many modern gardens, thanks to its clean lines and warm white glow. It lights your path stylishly and evenly.

The LIV comes in multiple finishes: Dark Grey, Rose Silver, and White. There’s a version that fits every style. Prefer something more rugged? Go for the Corten version. Need something lower to the ground? The in-lite LIV LOW offers the same elegance in a more compact form. It’s also ideal for illuminating patios or low plantings.

2. in-lite HYVE

Want to get creative with your lighting design? The in-lite HYVE lets you turn your garden path into a starlit trail. Combine the HYVE 22 and HYVE 60 to create a subtle, natural glow.

These fixtures feature a honeycomb lens and a sleek stainless steel ring. They're easy to install in concrete, wood, or natural stone. Plus, they’re safe to drive over, making them great for both garden paths and driveways. HYVE ground spots also match perfectly with other in-lite lights, so you can build a consistent setup.

1. in-lite ACE

At the top of the list is the in-lite ACE. Like the LIV, it’s a standing light, but with an even more modern design. The adjustable LED head lets you direct the beam close or far, casting a striking grazing light across your path or driveway.

Available in five colors, the ACE is versatile and easy to install. Place it on a hard surface or use a ground stake for softer soil. Want to complete the look? Pair it with matching wall lights from the ACE series for a cohesive lighting theme. It’s our number one pick for a reason.

Post lights for pathways

One of the most popular path lighting options is the use of post lights. They’re practical for navigation and great for adding the right atmosphere. A post light can also highlight plants in borders while casting soft, glare-free light around your path.

Installing path lights is simple, whether you choose 12-volt system lighting or solar fixtures. Explore our easy-to-use setups to find the perfect fit.

Designing your own pathway lighting

Ready to design your setup? Mix and match different sizes of ground spots—like the in-lite FLUX—to create varied light effects. In-lite system lighting is easy to upgrade, so you can always add more later.

Prefer post lights? Space them 2 to 2.5 meters apart for a balanced look. And if you’re not sure where to start, then we’re here to help. Get in contact and ask us for lighting advice.
