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.

For decorative purposes we use the solar lights and treat
them as disposables. Most last for over a year, while some
have lasted up to 3 or 4 years. I agree with Philip's
comments and most of ours cost a pound or so.

For lighting paths, they're fine, but for lighting eg steps
not usually up to it unless you use the larger panelled
lights.

For garden interest, try to have some little spotlights to
gave a bit more light to particular plants/ corners, our
few spots were inexpensive but good value.

(our nearest street lamp is about a mile away and we get a
decent amount of sun here)
