Hello everyone,
we are about to start the paving work for our courtyard/driveway/stair area, approximately 70 sqm (750 sq ft).
I’m currently thinking about how to light the area properly and practically, while also making it a bit attractive. There is already a street lamp directly in front of our driveway, so it’s already fairly bright there.
At first, I considered small light pillars or something similar. But now I’m leaning more towards LED spotlights. The question is whether to use spots just for ambient/orientation lighting or to choose ones that illuminate the house as well. Additionally, I would like to have 2–3 spots at the stair step in the entrance area.
Are there LED ground spotlights that run on solar power? Or is it better to have everything powered by electricity? Then with a timer switch?
Does anyone have ideas or suggestions?

There are plenty of ground recessed lights where you can replace the bulbs.
I installed them myself on our terrace. For example, search on Amazon for "IP67 ground recessed spotlights." You will get numerous results.Okay, that’s fine then.
I wasn’t talking about ground recessed lights specifically, but LED lamps in general. You just have to be careful!
The original poster is keeping it open which type they want to choose.
I personally don’t have experience with ground recessed lights, only with wall-mounted lamps.
