If your outdoor space needs lighting that can stretch tall or stay modest, pole lights are built for the job. They slot seamlessly into different landscapes because their height and brightness can be tailored to the setting. From practical safety lighting to accent illumination, they perform well across multiple areas.
Here are a few outdoor spots where pole lights can be positioned to get the most value out of them:
- Garage Entrance. A pole light or two near your garage door can provide broad, downward light that fully illuminates the entire approach. This ensures safe footing and excellent overall visibility. The lighting also serves as a strong, noticeable deterrent to would-be intruders, making your property much safer.
- Pathways. Positioning short pole lights at equal intervals along a walkway can help greatly with nighttime visibility. The rows of lights help define the edges of a path at a level that’s safely below the user’s line of sight. This combination of functional and ambient light makes your pathways both safe and inviting to navigate at night.
- Gardens. You can also use short pole lights to outline your garden borders and illuminate planting beds from a gentle overhead angle. Doing so helps highlight the textures and colors of your flowers and shrubs without the glare of uplighting. Additionally, it gives your garden area depth and dimension, allowing you to enjoy its beauty even after sunset.
- Unique Landscaping Features. If you have a fountain, sculpture, or specimen tree worth showing off, pole lights are ideal for featuring these standout elements. Positioned to the side, their illumination will graze the surface of a sculpture to reveal its form. Aimed upward, they can capture the mesmerizing movement of water in a fountain or the towering canopy of a beautiful tree.
