"Path lighting is usually achieved by using downlights," says leading landscape designer Rosemary Alexander, co-author of landscaping bible The Essential Garden Design Workbook, available from Amazon. "These cast pools of light onto the ground, accentuating the surface texture. Path lighting is primarily functional, but should be carefully designed so that it does not detract too much from other features."
I don't like night-lights because they take up the wall outlet, so this was the perfect solution. I put it in the guest bath and at night with the bathroom door open this provides just enough light to guide a person to the bathroom without blinding them. I ended up putting two on my hallway switches as well. What a great product.
