How to Space LED M516 Lights

With LED (light emitting diodes) lights you can allow the beauty of your garden to be seen at night, protect your home from thieves or animals, or create an active night time outside area. This type of light is produced by fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. LED lights are inexpensive, energy efficient and require very low maintenance. The spacing of these lights in your outdoor area is relatively simple with a little bit of planning.
