If you’ve finally decided on using LED on your driveway, then you can visit your local hardware or home specialty shops, and ask for lights that are designed for walkway illumination. Another popular choice is the flat lights. These are often installed inside stones and they give your driveway some accents and shadows.
For people who are more concerned with safety and security rather than aesthetics, you may consider installing LED flood lights. These are mounted on walls and can be equipped with a motion sensor, solar panels and a battery. Like other solar powered lights, this will automatically run or function when the sun goes down. But be prepared to back it up with another power source since the battery will most likely die out in just few hours of usage.
