Pathway Lights: Highly Versatile Landscape Lighting

Possibly the most underappreciated outdoor light for landscapes is the pathway light. The concept behind pathway lights is straightforward enough: those same C7 & C9 bulbs and light strings you attach to clips and use to outline your roof during Christmas are instead placed on stakes for use on the ground. A simple accessory change, with huge impact.

While C7 & C9 Christmas bulbs are the most popular for outlining pathways and landscapes, using an alternative bulb like a Fairy Light Bulb or Globe lights can add a lot of personality to your outdoor light displays.

Hands down, the most popular use of pathway lighting is for outdoor Christmas decorating. Christmas pathway lights can match your roof lights to create a cohesive design, or you can add a splash of color and distinctive style to your existing outdoor light display by using something different to highlight your pathways and landscapes. For example, if you have all white icicle lights or C9 light bulbs hanging across your roof, consider using multicolor bulbs or a single accent color pathway light, like red or blue, as a fun contrast to your all white roof lights. Themed pathway light combinations such as red and white, red and green, and blue and white are another fun way to play with adding pops of unexpected color to your outdoor Christmas light displays.

Guide trick-or-treaters right to your door by creating an illuminated path with C7 & C9 walkway & driveway lights. Orange, purple, and green Halloween pathway lights are the signature colors of this enchanting season. Combine these popular colors together to create a distinctive atmosphere and cast a haunting glow over Halloween yard decor. Additional Halloween pathway lighting ideas include hanging string lights, lanterns, or icicle lights from shepherds hooks instead of using light stakes placed in the ground. Flicker flame bulbs are also a unique pathway light alternative with eerie animated effects!

While the term "pathway lights" most widely refers to the use of bulbs, strings, and light stakes to illuminate paths; there are some creative alternatives for lighting outdoor landscapes, walkways, and driveways. String lights, lanterns, and lit hanging decorations can be displayed on garden shepherds hooks to create one-of-a kind pathway light displays. Additionally, Christmas Walkway Trees, Starburst Lighted Branch Stakes, and Starlight Sphere Stakes are a fast and fun way to decorate outdoor spaces.
