Outdoor lighting that preserves the dark sky

Here's where the majority of exterior lighting should be: on the ground, not facing the sky.

If this was my house I'd be really fit, and here's why: Every evening, I'd walk back and forth, from street to front door, over and over again, just to enjoy the sensation of this lit walkway.

I'm sure this would make the folks at the International Dark Sky Association happy. After all, this is where you need nighttime light, on the ground, and not shooting out into the sky.
