PATH LIGHTING

Path Lighting Services in Covington, Louisiana

Great path lighting transforms the way a property feels after sunset, guiding every step while highlighting the landscape you worked hard to create. Thoughtful placement and well-chosen fixtures create a welcoming glow that improves curb appeal and increases safety for family and guests. LIT Outdoor Lighting designs and installs path lights that look refined, perform reliably, and fit the architectural character of homes across Covington and the surrounding parishes.

Why Path Lighting Matters for Safety and Style

Good lighting does more than make walkways visible, it also shapes how a space feels and functions. Properly aimed walkway lights reduce trip hazards on steps, curves, and garden edges, which helps prevent slips when the weather turns wet. Attractive exterior path lights can also frame a front walk or garden path, making daily arrival feel special while elevating the look of your home at night.

Smartly designed outdoor path lighting enhances landscape features without causing glare, which keeps the view comfortable for drivers and neighbors. Balanced illumination ensures that plants, stonework, and water elements read as intentional focal points, not bright hotspots. Your property gains both beauty and utility when each fixture supports a clear lighting plan.

Our Approach to Outdoor Path Lighting

Every project begins with a site walk that maps the way people actually move through your property, from driveway to porch to patio. Our team studies surface changes, planting beds, and sightlines, then builds a layout that places light only where it serves a purpose. Cable routes, transformer locations, and voltage considerations get planned early, which keeps the installation clean and future friendly.

Fixture selection comes next, since the right form factor matters as much as the light it produces. We specify durable materials that handle Louisiana heat and humidity, and we fine-tune color temperature to match your home’s exterior finishes. The result is outdoor path lighting that looks cohesive in daylight and performs beautifully after dark.


Fixture Options for Every Walkway

  • Low-profile path lights for garden edges and curved beds that need gentle, even washes

  • Down-lighting from trees or rooflines to create a soft “moonlight” effect over stepping stones

  • Corrosion-resistant finishes that stand up to coastal air across St. Tammany Parish and Tangipahoa Parish

  • Taller bollard-style fixtures for broader throw on wide sidewalks and drive courts

  • Hardscape lights tucked into walls or risers to define stairs without glare

  • LED walkway lights with precise optics for long runs where efficiency is a priority

LED Path Lights That Perform Night After Night

LED path lights deliver excellent brightness with minimal energy use, which keeps operating costs low while extending fixture life. High-quality drivers and sealed housings resist moisture, so the system stays consistent through summer storms and high humidity. You also gain flexibility with dimmers and smart controls, allowing seasonal scenes that shift from lively gatherings to quiet evenings.

Color temperature plays a big role in how surfaces appear at night, which is why we offer warm white for cozy entries and neutral white for modern stone or concrete. Beam patterns are chosen to avoid spill into lawns or neighboring properties, which keeps the light exactly where you want it. The result is LED path lighting that feels intentional, comfortable, and polished.

Design Considerations for Sidewalk Lights in St. Tammany Parish

Neighborhood context matters, since brighter is not always better for sidewalk lights that sit close to the street. We evaluate tree cover, traffic patterns, and the presence of streetlights to set an appropriate light level that supports visibility without overpowering the block. The plan prioritizes glare control, which helps drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians share the same environment safely.

Soil type and drainage affect installation details, especially around heavy rain and seasonal high water. Our team uses wiring methods and junction placements that keep connections protected and serviceable over time. Thoughtful cable routing reduces the chance of future landscape work cutting lines, which helps protect your investment long term.

Path Lighting for Different Spaces Across Tangipahoa Parish

Front walks benefit from a rhythmic fixture cadence that guides guests directly to the door, while garden paths often need staggered spacing that accents plant textures. Pool decks and patio approaches call for lower glare levels to protect night vision during gatherings. LIT Outdoor Lighting adapts each layout to the space, using LED path lights, LED sidewalk lights, and other solutions that match how you live outdoors.

Smart Controls and Maintenance Plans

Automated schedules make exterior path lights effortless to own, since astronomical timers track sunrise and sunset without manual updates. Smart systems can add app control and scene presets, which lets you set different looks for quiet evenings or weekend events. Your system becomes part of the way the home works, not another task to remember.

Every lighting system benefits from seasonal tune-ups that keep everything looking its best. We offer maintenance plans that include lens cleaning, vegetation trims around fixtures, aim checks, and voltage testing. Small adjustments go a long way, so the entire landscape continues to feel crisp, inviting, and safe.

What our customers are saying

I cannot recommend LIT Outdoor Lighting highly enough.  The lighting is gorgeous, they are very reasonably priced and the install went smoothly with no hitches.  They took the time to thoroughly walk me through the online app to control lights and were professional and easy to work with.  I will definitely be using them again in the future!

Outstanding job!!  They did what they said for a fair price. Results are excellent!!!  Everything works as it should.  The installation involved laying over 450 foot of wire and I can't easily see the evidence of all that digging...that's only one day in and I saw them doing the digging!  Yes, I'd call them again!

Our first home in Covington Louisiana and we wanted it to be beautifully decorated for Christmas. I reached out to Melissa and Jonathan at LIT to set up an appointment. They were so punctual and wonderful to work with! They gave us some ideas done up on their iPad to show us and we were amazed. They came out a week later to do the install and it came out beautifully! We see so many people slowly drive by our house and stop to look. They did such a great job! Our first experience with them was so great! We will definitely use them again and again! Thank you Melissa and Jonathan!
