Positioning driveway lighting

Listen to this radio story (MP3 download) or read below.

While many people think of outdoor lighting as strictly utilitarian, there are several options available to help you design driveway lighting that's both functional and attractive. For example, floodlights send out a strong beam for backlighting, while globe lights provide general lighting without the troublesome glare. Well lighting can be used to accent trees, bushes, and other focal points within your landscaping. Most outdoor lighting works on a low voltage system, making it safe to use even when wet. Add timers or motion sensors for security, energy-efficiency, or alert you when a visitor arrives on your property.
