What happens here
Wall lights are installed directly underneath the capstones of a low retaining wall, such as one surrounding a fire pit. These fixtures are designed to cast light downwards, illuminating the area immediately below the wall with a soft, even glow. This not only enhances the ambiance but also improves safety by lighting pathways or steps adjacent to the wall. The wiring for these lights is typically concealed within or behind the wall structure, connecting to the low-voltage system.
Goal: Provide downward illumination from low walls for ambiance and safety.
