I am looking for ideas on outdoor lighting to light up my driveway basketball court for the kids to use at night. I was thinking about installing a couple of these up on the eaves of my second story pointing down towards the driveway:

Has anyone used this type of setup and had good experience?

If I was mounting lights on a 2-story eve, I'd go LED to avoid climbing that ladder again any time soon.

Good point. I've had some of those halogen bulbs repeatedly burn out very quickly.
