A solar path light is a self-powered light fixture that illuminates to provide clear direction to the front door as well as reveal regions adjacent to the path. Path lighting is used to enhance landscaping such as flower beds, shrubbery and borders while safely illuminating pathways. While blanketing areas with a gentle illumination to provide an attractive touch for the exterior, path lights produce a greater sense of security and assist orientation. Path lights line walkways, entry ways, and steps to create pools of light that commands the viewer to take note of a certain detail within the landscape. Most path lights are low, capped fixtures that distribute light in a horizontal direction or reflect light from under their tops. They should be spaced about 6′ apart from one another so that bright regions do not overlap, but not so far that will leave completely dark areas between them.
