Best Pathway Lighting for Your Money
Here is some of the best pathway lighting options I’ve found on the web. We’re talking 5 star products so high quality and I’ve also included those that don’t cost a ton of money. Here are some of my favorite path lights for your landscape or sidewalk.
Kichler Lighting brings you a highly rated Landscape Pathway Light. Super easy to install and featured as dark bronze colored but also come in black and beach (a sandy, sprinkled color). Blends in well with bark landscaping (although I hope you don’t have this for your sake) or most other landscape types. $54 at Lighting Universe. Don’t drive the stakes into hard ground. Requires a 12V transformer. Not sure if it’s made from plastic but I think the stake is.
If you’re going for a stylish, not quite Oriental but perhaps a hint then the Ledgewood Pathway Light might be a best buy for you. I really like the fact that it’s made of aluminum. For style purposes, it has etched glass in champagne tint. $109 per and almost 2 feet tall with light spreading an 11 foot radius. Very stylish. You can find these at FrontGate.com. One more tip: brushed nickel ceiling fans are great for an open outdoor room. Outdoor rooms and furniture are very trendy and hot for 2011 so it only makes sense that you get a good ceiling fan for the hot summer days.
The Progress Lighting Fremont Garden Lantern can give your backyard a little bit of that London street light feel. From Arcadian Lighting, the Fremont Lantern for gardens is so popular, it’s on backorder. 9 foot tall and $61.92 when in stock.
Hinkley makes some freaking fine products. Straight out of the Aspen Collection, they’ve released the Safari Path Light Landscape Fixture. It’s tailor made for those looking for a new world remake of old style garden images. The skinny post takes the curvature of a flower stem or tree branch complete with curve and complemented with what looks like a leaf and a pine cone. Rustic and traditional all rolled in one, your yard can sport these for $150.
The Kichler Santa Barbara is a Copper Path Light made from heavy duty copper and stainless steel. eLights has it for $120. The copper color is that of a bright new penny, not darked bronze. It will stand out as a light, but if that’s the angle you’re going for, I can recommend this light for you. Heavy duty and inspired by SoCal landscaping.
The top five pathway lights mentioned above are both highly rated and recommended by yours truly but like you, I’m still researching. If anybody has any good or bad experience with these beautiful pathway lighting ideas, please let us know.
