Lighting Warehouse makes it easy to guide others through your outdoor space with its collection of Alliance path lights. Choose from multiple designs, finishes, and shapes to find the perfect blend of form and function to line walkways, driveways, and garden paths.
Choose the Right Alliance Path Light
Also known as pathway lights, these fixtures are placed on short poles and line the sides of various high-traffic areas outside your home or building. To better illuminate the surrounding area and reduce glare, path lights usually have a cone- or mushroom-shaped hat that blocks light from going upwards and directs the beam to the ground. With proper spacing, you can use Alliance’s area lighting solutions to reduce trip hazards and guide others through your space.
Alliance path lights offer many options that suit your preferred styles and functions. The AL lineup offers various hat designs that are compatible with multiple stem lengths, which are available at 18 or 24 inches. There’s also an adjustable stem ranging between 18 and 29 inches in length. For a modern, minimalist look, you can opt for the PL300 or PL600-LED, which have a modern profile that doesn’t compromise on performance.
Most of the path lights in the collection use G4 bi-pin LED bulbs, which offer powerful, energy-efficient illumination despite their small size. Some lights also work with Alliance’s BT lights smart system, allowing you to conveniently control all aspects of your landscape lighting setup directly from your phone or other smart devices.
FAQs on Alliance Path Lights
When spacing path lights, think about the width of the path itself. Narrower areas, like the walkway leading to your front door, can have lights every 4-6 feet, whereas larger areas, like your driveway, don’t require lights so close to each other, and you can space those at 8-10 feet. When considering spacing, make sure that your lights not only illuminate the appropriate areas, but don’t overlap each other to create glaring surfaces. These can make it harder to see and create a more hazardous effect.
Most Alliance path lights utilize G4 bi-pin bulbs because of their smaller profile, but it’s important to note that these are still LEDs. Their small size allows them to fit inside each path light fixture. As an added bonus, some G4 bulbs have an IP65 rating, meaning they can withstand dirt, dust, and water in outdoor settings.
Choosing the right color temperature for your path lights is more than just an aesthetic choice. At night, you want these lights to guide the way without creating a glaring effect that makes it difficult to see the path ahead. To that end, we recommend starting with a color temperature of 2700K or warm white. This provides a warm, inviting tone that is pleasing to the eye and is more than enough to show visitors the way to the front door, gazebo, or swimming pool.
