10 Easy Pieces: Illuminated Pavers

May 1, 2018

Illuminated pavers sit flush with the surface of a driveway or path, discreetly hiding their powers until the sun goes down. Unlike bollards or landscape lights on poles, illuminated pavers light up the darkness without intruding into the visual plane of the landscape.

Many, including the Cambridge SolaGlo Pavers shown below (see Cambridge Pavers for more information and prices), are powered by LEDs (which consume less energy than conventional outdoor lighting) and can be recharged by solar power.

Here are 10 other favorite illuminated pavers for driveways, decks, balconies, and garden paths.

Above: Illuminated Cambridge SolaGlo Pavers. See more options in 10 Easy Pieces: Illuminated Pavers.
