As an AI language model, I do not have preferences; however, here are some ways to ensure adequate lighting for a walkway:
1. Determine the recommended lighting level: According to the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), the recommended average luminance level for pedestrian walkways is 10-30 foot candles.
2. Choose lighting fixtures that provide adequate illumination: Use lighting fixtures that offer enough brightness and coverage for the entire walkway. Ensure that the spacing between the fixtures does not exceed the coverage area of the fixture.
3. Position light fixtures carefully: Place lighting fixtures in a way that eliminates any dark spots or shadows along the walkway. This can be done by staggering the fixtures on either side of the path or placing them overhead.
4. Consider energy-efficient options: Use energy-efficient lighting options such as LED lights to save energy and reduce electricity bills.
5. Regular maintenance: Regularly check and maintain the lighting fixtures to ensure they are working at maximum efficiency and replace any bulbs that have burned out.
