Driveway & Path Lamps

Illuminating a farmhouse driveway with 100 lamps.

These lamps were designed with the intention of providing the type of light the space required. They are installed around the peripheral path that encircles the Aura property. The path is about 10 ft away from the peripheral wall, so the requirement was to design a lamp which would illuminate the path as well as the foliage and wall on the other side.

We devised a spherical pillow form which has holes on the front and back. These holes are drilled at an angle on both sides. On the front they direct the light downward to illuminate the path, and on the back they point upward, so as to illuminate the foliage and the boundary wall. Additionally, the number of holes on the back are on the entire surface to increase the amount of light. On the front the holes are only up to half point, since we did not want the sharp light of the bulb to be visible to the eye.

The lamps were installed on a 2ft cemented pillar, half of which is embedded into the group. An electrical line runs across the entire circumference of the pathway, feeding each lamp and continuing further. Servicing the lamps is easy as they are simply placed on the cemented pillar.
