The top photo is a great example of the "high voltage syndrome". Guys . . . we're not trying to recreate daylight here! There is no depth or style to this scene yet it will cost the owner a bunch to run the excessive wattage lamps. If in doubt use less powerful lamps to start leaving capacity to increase them if necessary. The bottom photo illustrates the benefit of using shielded spread type path lights. Notice the complete lack of glare. The AccentoLume® would be a good choice for these stairs.
