The message
from "Neil Jones" contains these words:

I live in a rural village so I'm conscious of light pollution and
don't
really want to brighten the night sky which could affect other
locals.

I'll discuss my plans with my neighbours before I go ahead but I
have a
number of questions initially:-

What is best practice regarding this kind of lighting?

Mains voltage, low voltage or a mixture?

Is this a daft idea and I should forget about it?

Have you thought about those individual solar-powered units? Most
garden
centres and many DIY shops stock them.

They give enough light to see the paths by, and any hedgehogs, cats or
whatnot, waiting to trip you up. Light pollution isn't an issue with
these....

Hmm, yes. I was given some of these a couple of years ago. Very little
light output indeed. I could use them to light the path, as you say, but
not much else :-)
