Retired at last is the old "front porch light." Gone, thankfully, is the dim and tacky light over the garage door, a fixture that never did give enough light to find your way to your entry. Now you have all the choices, dramatic or subtle. You can coordinate outdoor lights to your interior décor, or you can select the understated appeal of lighting that blends without being noticed.
Visualize this scenario: You've lovingly planted the exact dwarf azaleas; you've painstakingly arranged a unique rock garden; you've artistically incorporated a prize sculpture. Want to focus on your 50-foot will tree? Accenting the remarkable shrubbery you've collected. Have a path or step that could possibly pose a safety hazard for family or friends? Take a look at the many landscape lighting options available to you.
Let your imagination dictate your selection. Progress Lighting's extensive collection of UL approved outdoor lights can transform your yard and grounds into a designer's dream.
Linear Path Light with prismatic spread lens. Complete with stake, patent pending
This is one of the few lights that can be used as flush mount pathway lights and it is handsome, but it is not its only/primary use. The housing is attractive and well made. We like not having little pole lights sprouting up everywhere. The electricians who installed it had no issues, but many of the ground stems were easily broken by the clumsy patio workmen. Anyway, like all stem in ground mounts, the ground gets wet and it tilts. To keep it up we put the front edge right on the patio, but it swings around. We like it enough that we're going to put them on front walkway, but I'm concerned about how lawnmowers will deal with them. Also the light is cast horizontally across the patio (i.e., its not cast downward like a short pole light), so if one is seated the lights may glare a little if looked at directly. For that reason it works better on pathways that on patios.
