BEST NATURE INSPIRED PATHWAY LIGHT: Architect Favorite | 2024 Update

Updated: Aug 28


Snapshot:

How To Buy: Lightology Cutsheet: Vibia Brisa Color Rendering: 90+ (never buy LEDs that have a score less than 90). A score of 80 is actually worse than fluorescent lighting. Color Temperature: 2700K Lumens: 576 Wattage: 6.3 watts Power Supply/Driver: The light fixture cutsheet indicates that the driver is included with the light fixture itself. Indoor/Outdoor: Approved for outdoor (wet) locations where the lights won't be submerged in water. Installation: Pathway lighting affords a lot of flexibility in moving the lighting around after the fact. I recommend leaving some slack in the low voltage wiring to accommodate future 'tweaking' of the lighting locations. Note: If your project is in a less secluded/safe neighborhood, then you may want to consider setting the lighting into concrete, in order to prevent theft of the fixtures. Saving Cost: This is already a fairly cost effective lighting strategy for pathways. A possible alternate strategy could be to consider more traditional pathway lighting.
