Plant & build / THE BUYING GUIDE

Outdoor & path lighting

Make paths and garden edges easier to enjoy after sunset.

BEFORE YOU SHOP

Light a route, then add accents

Start with the path or feature you want to illuminate. Solar lights need a suitable charging location; wired landscape systems need compatible power and connectors. Decorative lighting is not a substitute for required safety lighting.

01Check outdoor suitability and installation instructions.
02For solar models, allow direct sun at the panel location.
03Review the number of lights, spacing and replaceable parts.
04For wired systems, match voltage and total load to the transformer.
