….aka Sometimes size really does matter. (Like with tall landscape lights, for example.)
Landscape lighting can completely transform the look of your home’s façade and yardscape beyond what is possible during the daylight hours.
Depending on what kinds of landscape lights you include in your exterior lighting plans, you can control the tone of your nighttime outdoor experience in a way that only strategically planned lighting can do.
It can be romantic. It can be mysterious. It can be high-drama. And landscape lighting can be purely functional as a security element to keeping your family safe at home.
With gardens growing this time of year, let’s talk about tall LED landscape lighting. There are more options than the traditional black carriage light that we all grew up with.

Landscape lights can be used to light pathways, driveways, and visually demarcate gardens. While those are the functional and easily justifiable reasons to shop for tall landscape lighting, there are more.
Taller landscape lights are easier to mow around, and if you want to let your grass grow a little taller to conserve water and energy, taller pathway lights can be a perfect choice.
For gardens that are blooming with sunflowers, other flowering plants and bushes that are bigger than a tulip, this kind of landscape light directs the light downward and shows off those beauties at night.
It can be a perfect romantic view for a cocktail on the deck.
And as an added bonus mature plants or snow won't cover these tall landscape lights.
1. The Hinkley Nexus bronze LED path light is 31 inches tall and swivels 90 degrees.
2. This mission-style landscape light from Kathy Ireland Home’s collection from J du J is just under 30 inches tall.
3. The Sheperd’s Crook design adds an organic element to a lighting plan.
After all is said and done, I tend to shop for lighting fixtures like some of my friends shop for shoes.
While some others may say, ‘That’s just another pair of black heels,’ it’s so not true to the shoe aficionado. Same goes for lighting geeks like me.
It’s not just another pathway light. There are nuances in the visual and technical details that can completely change the overall cohesion, comfort, and style statement, whether it’s a shoe or a light.
