Ive had my drive dug out and compacted hardcore layed. I will soon be laying block pavings on I think about 30mm of sharp sand. If I wanted lighting in various places can I lay the cables in the sand. Or should it be dug into the hardcore.
Also any recommendations of where to order lights.
Many thanks

How bright do you want them? If it's just a puddle effect you're after then solar powered LEDs are really rather good these days.
Really, interesting. I have only ever found solar outdoor lighting to be little more than useless and poor quality. But I've only ever really seen the cheap b&q type stuff. If the latest stuff is up to it it would make life so much easier.
