Lighting a pathway - options?
Discussion
Looking for some advice please. We are looking to illuminate a pathway in our garden, which is approx 35 meters in length and just under a meter in width. We don't want anything too bright and bling - just enough to light the path and maybe a bit of the flint wall along one side.
There are just so many options, and a massive price range I don't know what to start. Ideally want to keep costs to around £200-300 excluding fitting etc. Spike lights seem an option but most of them look a bit cheap IMO.
Any ideas please?

Thanks - yep cabling is already in place for eventual lighting. Our neighbours are the other side of the wall so unfortunately we can't really have anything too tall. I would like the path properly illuminated though - it will also be tied in to the pir on garage/drive way lighting as the path links house to drive.

I've fitted a few of these both on a job and at home and none have leaked yet - survived 2 winters.
Thanks - those look quite nice and inconspicuous. We have modern looking lights around the drive/on garage so these would tie in. How far apart did you place them? I am assuming no more than a meter apart if you want good coverage?I've fitted a few of these both on a job and at home and none have leaked yet - survived 2 winters.

Agree that the wall would like nice lit up. Not sure if that will give enough light on the path though, particularly where we have the shrub bed. I have seen spike lights with two heads so it is possible to have one facing the path and one the wall...
