Path lighting along walkways in Carlson Park historic district should complement the period architecture without looking too modern. Blair Hills hillside properties benefit from uplighting on architectural features and trees that are visible from the street below. Downtown Culver City homes near the Arts District often go with contemporary fixtures and color-temperature-adjustable LED systems.
