IP65 covers jets, not standing water, so move one out of a spot that floods.", "source": "Drive Way Lights, Pack of 4", "url": "https://modernlight.uk/drive-way-lights/" }, { "question": "What is bidirectional light?", "answer": "The light goes out in two directions along the ground rather than straight up, which is what creates the pattern of light and shadow.", "source": "Drive Way Lights, Pack of 4", "url": "https://modernlight.uk/drive-way-lights/" }, { "question": "How bright are they?", "answer": "They mark and decorate rather than flood. They will show you the edge of a drive or a step, not light a whole forecourt.", "source": "Drive Way Lights, Pack of 4", "url": "https://modernlight.uk/drive-way-lights/" }, { "question": "How do I install them?", "answer": "Clear the area, level it, and seat them flush with the surface.

Closer on steps.", "source": "Drive Way Lights, Pack of 4", "url": "https://modernlight.uk/drive-way-lights/" }, { "question": "Can I use them on steps?", "answer": "Yes, and it is one of their best uses.
