For years, I've been thinking about doing some sort of lighting in our yard, but I never seem to get around to it.

In researching solar powered lighting, it seems that while super convenient and more affordable...they may not last a good while (?)...? Anyone have experience with them? Can you recommend a certain one? I've found some at Amazon and Home Depot ranging about $25-50 per fixture, with some fairly decent consumer reviews.

In researching the hard wired option, it's initially quite pricey and while the lighting units do seem durable, they're mostly LEDs now...which means those units will need to be replaced at some point anyway, ugh! I talked to some installers and it seems the avg price around here, including all supplies and install, comes out to about $165 per fixture.

Any thoughts / advice?
