Welcome Regina! I've had good luck getting very inexpensive solar path lights to get an idea where I want lights to actually be. Easy to pick them up and move them around. Once you have your set up figured out, I think those low voltage systems are more efficient than solar, and the ability to turn the system on/off has its value. I'd rather leave the winter garden pretty much unlit unless we decide to go have an evening fire in which case I like to have some path lighting.
