Question 1

How far apart should I place path lights along my walkway?

For balanced illumination, path lights are typically placed 1.5 to 3 metres (5 to 10 ft) apart, depending on the brightness of the fitting and the desired effect. Staggering lights along alternating sides of a path can create a more natural and visually attractive look while improving visibility.
