Approach Detail
Install ground-level fixtures every 2-3m along path edges. Options: recessed step lights, low bollards (30cm max), or stake lights. All fixtures pointed down/toward path, shielded from wide viewing. 1-5 lux on path surface. 2700K warm. Allow eyes to adapt to darkness. Avoid over-lighting - guests should use adapted night vision.
Key Fixtures
Ground-recessed step lights, short bollards, stake fixtures, IP67+ rating, warm LED sources.
Designer Notes
Show pathway defined by soft edge markers while surrounding garden remains dark. Guest walking path appears in dots of light. Beyond pathway: natural darkness with silhouetted plants. Night sky visible above.
