What happens here

To ensure safe passage along walkways and driveways, such as the curved path seen from 0:47-0:51, install path lights. These fixtures typically stand 12 to 24 inches high and cast a downward-directed, diffuse light. Space them evenly along the path, usually every 6 to 8 feet, to eliminate dark spots and create a continuous, guiding glow. Bury the low-voltage cables parallel to the path, at a recommended depth of 6-12 inches, connecting each path light to the main cable with waterproof connectors. For garden beds adjacent to paths, smaller floodlights or accent lights can also be strategically placed to illuminate plantings.

Goal: Provide functional and aesthetic lighting for navigation and garden highlights
