Look for ways to create soft lighting effects and eliminate glare. Set lights so they shine downward and away from eye level. A good rule of thumb is to hide the light source whenever possible. Explore the range of outdoor lighting options for pathways, steps and driveways that go beyond traditional looks. Running less-bright ground-level lights along the edges of a path can provide sufficient light for people to walk safely while not overwhelming the space or causing a tripping hazard.
