Pathway Lighting in Tuckahoe

Pathway lighting is the part of a Tuckahoe display guests actually walk through. Long Island Premier Holiday Lights lines walkways, driveway edges, and garden beds with sealed low-voltage fixtures and lanterns, spaced to match the rest of the lighting and set to come on at dusk. Long, curving approaches near the Southampton LIRR station get fixtures at every turn; a straight front walk gets a tight, even run. In January we pull the stakes and coil the wiring, or leave a permanent setup in place if you'd rather keep it.

The walk is the part of a Tuckahoe display people actually use, so we design it for feet as well as eyes. Steps get a fixture at each grade change, curves get one at each turn, and driveways near the Southampton LIRR station get evenly spaced stakes the full length. Everything is sealed, staked for frost, and set to come on at dusk.

Tuckahoe is Southampton's year-round neighborhood north of the highway — the LIRR station, County Road 39's shops, and modest streets that house the people who work in the village. So for pathway lighting here, short front walks get a tight, even run of fixtures that matches the roofline spacing. Wooded lots toward North Sea have front trees worth wrapping.

Most Tuckahoe pathway installs take one to three hours depending on walkway length and fixture count. Runs are buried or tucked along the bed edge, fixtures are staked to hold through frost, and the timer is set for dusk. In January we pull the stakes and coil the wiring — or leave the setup in place if you'd like to keep it year-round.
