Default Garden Lighting

I am toying with the idea of installing some decorative lighting
in my small garden.

To be worthwhile, I am not considering solar-powered devices, and
imagine that a low voltage distribution system would be the way
to go.

I'm aware that this is as long as a piece of string, but wonder
if anyone has any experience of particularly good value
equipment, or kit with which they have been particularly pleased
or disappointed.


It will depend in part whether the lighting is just to look pretty or do any
illumination?

The very cheap solar lights I find have poor batteries which normally fail
after a short time, and low power lights look very pretty around the pond or
such but actually produce nearly zero light for illuminating steps say.


I want to light the trees and shrubs, but don't need access
lights.
