Lighting Connections: elevating outdoor pathways

Landscaped areas around the home and even garden paths are converted into a magical canvas for lighting designers. Whether it be the connection between the road and front door, or a pathway through a garden or terraced area these circulation routes fulfil an important function. Lighting the way properly is both a functional requirement and a tool for creative expression. The following collections of outdoor lights not only fulfil their brief impeccably but add a magical whimsy to the outdoors. The night-time brings with it a different perception of space and these lights can sculpt and carve a completely different perception of the outdoors.
