Driveway Lighting Options

• Down-Lighting
• Ground-hugging bollard lights
• Up-lighting

Downlighting is an ideal option when you have tall trees lining to your driveway. Downlights give safe passage to guests as they reflect soft light down and illuminate the direction. Bollards are also effective choice. They are the vertical unit that offer soft light to your driveway and provide enhanced visibility. On the other hand, up-lighting is probably less preferred choice as far as a driveway safety concern because of uplighting fixtures usually enclosed to the ground and projects in a specific direction.

You should contact landscape lighting professionals to get more details on different outdoor lighting fixtures and they can help you with ideas that suit your property and budget.
