Outdoor Driveway Lights
The imagery is vivid: approaching your home under a dark, starry sky and watching as your driveway bathes in the gentle luminescence of tastefully chosen lights. This scene, which many imagine only for grand mansions or glossy magazines, can be a reality for any home. It's a marriage of style and functionality, where aesthetic brilliance meets practicality, ensuring you always find your way home safely.
Discovering the Magic of Recessed Outdoor Ground Lights
Among the myriad of outdoor lighting options available for driveways, recessed outdoor ground lights emerge as a crowd favorite. Their beauty lies in their subtlety. They don't scream for attention but provide a soft, guiding luminescence that traces the path.
Placing them strategically, perhaps flanking either side of the driveway, not only helps demarcate its edges for seamless parking but also creates a runway effect that's nothing short of mesmerizing. While a short driveway might only require a few of these fixtures, longer stretches can transform into lit pathways, creating a warm, welcoming aura for anyone arriving at your home.
Spotlights: A Fusion of Form and Function
While recessed lights offer a certain understated charm, spotlights stand tall, both literally and figuratively, in the world of outdoor driveway lighting. Available on spikes or posts, these lights can be both decorative and functional. Their adjustability post-installation allows homeowners to shine light where it's most needed, be it to highlight a particular landscaping feature or to ensure safe navigation from the car to the doorstep.
Why LED Driveway Lights are the Way to Go
LED technology has revolutionized the lighting industry, and driveway lights have not been left behind. LED lights, known for their efficiency and longevity, are perfect for outdoor settings, especially in places where they might need to stay on for extended durations.
Their benefits extend beyond just energy savings. The variety of designs available, from the sleek stainless steel to the rustic charm of natural brass, ensures that there's an LED light for every aesthetic preference. Moreover, the IP-rated feature of these lights offers peace of mind, assuring users that they're designed to withstand the unpredictable outdoor elements.

Help & Advice
How to light up a driveway
If you want to add lights to a driveway, you have two main choices. Do you want ground lights – small dots of light rising up from the ground? Or do you prefer spotlights? The latter tend to be attached to the top of some kind of post and can be swivelled to point at whatever part(s) of the drive you want to illuminate.
Ultimately, it all comes down to which style you prefer. Please browse our collection of driveway lights to see which route is right for you.
How far apart should driveway lights be?
Driveway lighting needs some serious consideration before getting the electrician in. Too many lights can appear overwhelming – too few ruins the effect.
We've found that about 5-8ft apart is optimal; any closer than that and your drive may start to looks like a runway!
How many lumens for driveway lights?
For a recessed ground light on a driveway, we've found that 200-600 lumens is about right. Less than that and the effect may be a little lost – almost like your lights are battery-powered and about to run out!
For spotlights, it's best not to go too bright – despite the temptation people sometimes have to do so. We think around 750 lumens is the maximum to go for. That way, you'll have the brightness you need – without drawing attention to your home from any passing UFOs!
