I prefer hardwired. In fact, I dug mine out at the last house and pulled the electrical wires out from the tubes they ran through under the walkway, and took my lights with me to my wee house. 1). I like the verdigris colour, and 2). They were expensive architectural grade lights.

I currently have them installed in front of my wee house and I love them! I've never had an issue with them. I really like that they stay lit for whatever time I designate, unlike solar, that come on at dusk and go out whenever the battery life dies. Plus, they give off a much brighter and consistent light.
