Our driveway recessed lights are a good choice when you want practical outdoor lighting without adding a row of raised fixtures.
Installed within or close to the surrounding surface, recessed lights can be used along driveway edges, entrances, paving and pathways. During the day, the fittings remain relatively discreet. At night, they can help define the shape of the driveway and make key areas easier to see.
We stock different types of recessed LED lights, including directional designs that throw light across the surrounding surface. This gives you more control over the finished effect than simply choosing the brightest fitting.
If you also want to light planting, steps or landscaped areas away from the driveway, explore our in-ground lighting for more outdoor ground lighting options.
LED Driveway Lights and In-Ground Options
LED driveway lights offer a compact way to introduce useful low-level lighting around entrances, paving and driveway borders.
Our collection includes warm white ground lights and directional recessed LED fittings. Depending on the design, the light can be directed upwards or across the surrounding ground.
This makes in-ground LED driveway lights useful when you want to highlight an edge or route without making the light fitting itself a major feature.
Warm white LED lighting works particularly well around brick, paving, stone and garden planting, providing a softer finish for residential outdoor spaces.
Selected products can also form part of our low-voltage outdoor lighting systems. Our 1W recessed warm white ground light, for example, is designed for installation into concrete or stone using its housing.
If you are extending your lighting into the wider garden, our Plug & Play garden lighting provides more options for building a low-voltage lighting scheme.
Always check the individual product specification for voltage, cable, connections and installation requirements before ordering.
Paving Lights for Block Paving, Paths and Patios
Recessed paving lights work particularly well when the driveway surface itself is part of the design.
For block paving, individual fittings can be positioned to define an entrance, edge or route without adding a separate fixture above the surface.
Our range also includes recessed lights that may suit paths, patios, steps and other paved outdoor areas, depending on the individual product.
If you are looking for lights for block paving, LED block paving lights or recessed paving lights, check the product dimensions and installation requirements before planning where each fitting will sit.
Some products are supplied with dedicated housings for installation into concrete or stone, helping create a neat finished installation.
A light being suitable for installation around a driveway does not automatically mean vehicles can drive over it. If a fitting will sit directly in the vehicle route, always confirm the product is designed for that use.
Driveway Strip Lights for a Continuous Lighting Effect
Individual ground lights create separate points of illumination. Driveway strip lights create a continuous line.
A driveway LED strip can follow a driveway edge, step or architectural feature, making it particularly useful where you want the lighting to emphasise the shape of the space.
We stock warm white driveway LED light strip options, including products designed to work with suitable transformers.
You can also combine strip lighting with ground lights. For example, individual recessed fittings can highlight an entrance while an LED strip follows an adjoining driveway edge.
Check the products above for current stock and availability.
Recessed Lights for Decking and Other Outdoor Areas
Some of our recessed lights can also be used beyond the driveway.
Selected fittings are suitable for decking, patios, paths, walls and flowerbeds, helping you continue the same style of outdoor lighting into the rest of the garden.
This can work particularly well where a driveway leads directly towards a path, patio or seating area.
Using the same warm white colour across decking and driveway lights can create a more consistent finish, even when the fixtures themselves are different.
For example, decking lights may provide subtle accent lighting around a seating area, while recessed ground lights provide practical illumination closer to the driveway or entrance.
Always check the individual fitting before ordering, as installation into decking, stone, concrete, or paving may require different housings or fixing methods.
Which Type of Driveway Light Should You Choose?
The easiest way to narrow down the options is to think about the effect you want.
Recessed ground lights are ideal when you want individual points of low-level illumination while keeping the fitting discreet.
Directional in-ground lights work well when you want to cast light across paving, a path or driveway surface.
Driveway strip lights are better suited to creating a continuous line of light along an edge, step or feature.
If you would rather position the light source above ground, bollards offer a different look and can help define longer driveway edges or entrances. Explore our outdoor bollard lights if this style suits your project better.
For larger driveways, a combination can work well. Recessed lighting can define paving and edges, while bollards are used selectively at entrances or other key points.

Outdoor Rating & Installation Advice
Because recessed lights and in-ground lights sit close to the surface, protection against water and dust is important.
An IP rating shows how well a fixture is protected against these elements. Selected recessed products in our range are IP67 rated, while other fittings have their own specifications.
Always check the individual product before ordering.
Installation needs consideration, too. Drainage should prevent water from continually collecting around a recessed fitting, while the cable and electrical connections need to be suitable for outdoor use.
