Wired vs Solar Paver Lights for Driveways
For a driveway, wired 12V paver lights are the better choice. They give steady light every night, in any season. Solar paver lights skip the wiring, but their light depends on how much direct sun each fixture got that day.
Wired Paver Lights
The right choice for driveways, walkways and patios you use every night.
- Same light every night, all year
- Runs on a 12V landscape transformer
- One cable run; each Lumengy light has a 6-foot lead
- Every Lumengy paver light is wired 12V
Driveways, walkways and patios you use every night.
Solar Paver Lights
An option for small accents in sunny spots where running cable is not possible.
- No cable or transformer
- Runtime depends on daily sun
- Shade, cloudy weeks, winter and dirt on the panel shorten it
- Best for a small accent where cable cannot be run
Small accents in sunny spots where cable cannot be run.

Can You Drive Over Paver Lights?
Yes, when the light is drive-over rated and installed right. Every Lumengy paver light is drive-over rated for cars and trucks, with a stainless steel frame and tempered glass or a resin-sealed LED bar.
How to install them for drive-over use
- Set the light level with the pavers around it, never higher
- Give it the same compacted base as the pavers, fully supported with no gaps underneath
- Fill the joints around it so it cannot shift
- Remember that an IP rating is about water, not weight
The base under the light matters as much as the light itself. Not sure about your driveway? Send us a photo and we will help.

What You Need to Install Paver Lights
A wired system needs four things. Plan them before you order.
A 12V landscape transformer
Non-dimmable, 12V AC/DC, sold separately. Add up the watts of every light and keep the total at about 80% of the transformer rating. How to choose a transformer
Low-voltage cable
One main line along the run. Each Lumengy light has a 6-foot lead that connects to it.
Waterproof connectors
One per light, rated for burial, so every connection stays dry.
Lights and a layout
Pick the size and color for each spot, and plan where the cable runs before the pavers go down.

How Far Apart Should Paver Lights Be?
Spacing comes down to taste, and the best way to know is to test a few lights after dark. As a starting point, most walkways look good with a light every 4 to 6 feet, and driveways with one every 6 to 8 feet. Mark the edges, curves and entrances you want to show off first.
To see how different spacing looks before you buy, try the Paver Light Selector.
On an existing driveway, lift the pavers where each light goes, run the cable under the paving and reset them.
Installation safety
Turn the power off before making connections. Have an electrician install any new outdoor outlet for the transformer, and follow the instructions for your transformer and connectors.
