Is there good quality solar powered landscape lighting? I don't want the expense of hardwiring lighting for our front beds, but the stick-in-the-ground stuff that I see around mostly looks like garbage.

I don't think that really is a combination. I looked and tried a few, but now everything I have is hard wired.

Probably not, unless you take the cheap stuff, use it as a housing, and make your own.

Hardwire is very easy to run yourself (Be usre to use grease nuts or some other anti water piece on the connections to the lights, i used dielectric grease on mine). Its pretty cheap as well doing it yourself. Depending on the lights chosen (low power only) you can buy everything for 100-150. Buy your lights online, much cheaper than HD or lowes, same with your wire. I have 8 lights around my beds and them plus my wiring (18ga 100' spool 2 wire) and my box was about 125.

As suggested, look up 5W led low voltage lights. They run about $5-$8 a light.

Many recommend 14/16 gauge for long runs.

Visit your local SiteOne Landscape Supply and ask to see their ProTrade Lighting options.

lots to pick from. Pick your style and find a set that works for you price.


Even the box stores have limited selections in this range too.
