Hi All
I am after a bit of advise for some lights for my decking. I have recently moved into a 1970's semi, that needs renovating. Out in the back garden i have a large amount of decking that I am going to wash, treat and repair in the Spring. I was thinking of installing some recessed decking lights (similar to GU10's), but am unsure about my options.
It seems that the majority of places now sell the recessed lights that run low wattage via LED bulbs. From what i have seen the majority of lights are of a very small diameter, therefore the light emmitted would be of quite low and more for 'mood lighting'. I am not too bothered about this however the decking area is quite large, so I will probably need a large amount of lights.
If anyone has installed any decking lights, or has more knowledge than me could you give me any advise of what the buy/what to research. I have seen some on ebay, but any further knowledge of retailers would be appriciated:

It is worth pointing out that this will not be the sole lighting source for the decking as I will be installing a PIR type light at some point for when a flood of light is required.
Thanks
