Fixture Spotlight: Well Lighting Ideas for Your Home

Written by McKay Lighting | 07/13/2018

If you prefer landscape lighting fixtures that are barely noticeable, then you’ll want to learn more about these stylish LED well lights. They’re versatile, durable, and provide excellent illumination.

This type of outdoor lighting fixture is concealed within the ground. You’ll see the light, but not the fixture. In-ground lights can be installed into the concrete or landscaping.

Well Lighting Ideas for Your Omaha Home or Property: 

Here are some ideas on how you could incorporate these versatile fixtures into your home or property.

Front Entryway Lighting: A well-lit entryway provides increased safety and security. You can illuminate this area while enhancing the architectural features of your home. This application works on entries with pavement or steps that extend beyond the bed space, like the photo above.


Patio Lighting: At this rooftop garden in downtown Omaha, we installed smaller well lights to illuminate the planter walls, seat walls, and the condo's facade. The smaller version is a great option in areas with limited space.


Outdoor Fireplace Lighting: Draw attention to all the intricate hardscaping details of your outdoor fireplace lighting. You’ll have a unique and cozy ambiance for snuggling up by the fireplace at night.


Tree Lighting: Up lighting the trees on your property shows of the bark detailing while illumining the foliage. Lighting the trees on your property adds more ambient light into the yard at night. Not only will you love looking out into your yard, but a well-lit yard makes it more difficult for someone to access your home unseen.

Driveway Lighting: At this charming old world home in Omaha, the well lights illuminate the evergreens and act as a guide while the downlights in the trees ensure an evenly lit driveway. One advantage is you can mow right over these durable fixtures.
