Great question—proper spacing makes a big difference in how solar path lights perform.
For a 2 ft tall solar bollard producing around 100 lumens, a good general guideline is to space the lights 6 to 8 feet apart. This spacing provides consistent pathway illumination without dark gaps while avoiding excessive overlap or glare.
If the goal is more accent or decorative lighting, you can stretch the spacing closer to 8–10 feet. For areas where visibility and guidance are more important—such as walkways or entrances—staying closer to 6 feet works best.
To make this even easier, we offer a simple online tool that lets you dial in spacing based on your layout and preferences:
