try the low voltage malibu lights, connect them up temporarily in the
daylight then move them around at nite for best coverage. experiment a
bit. it can be fun. bring a friend for opinions.
I kinda enjoyed doing this at my other home, it had black areas even
with a pole light. I used line voltage accent lights by steps and a
flood bouncing off the porch cieling to elminate safety hazards. sad
the new owners rarely turn them on. I had them on a timer then
attached to the pole light sensor for auto dusk operation. I was proud
it turned out well
