  Lighting Around a horsehoe driveway

The store where I buy most electrical supplies has two areas. One is mostly for contractors, which is where I usually go. The other part is retail oriented and specializes in lighting. It would be good to find such a store. There are extensive catalogues from many manufacturers. There probably are thousands of different products to choose from, and a sales person who knows the subject can save a lot of time.

I would figure out the code requirements for standard 120V and for low voltage systems. I think low voltage systems are much easier for most homeowners to install properly. I know that we put a 120V porch light on a post in our parking area and I had to trench 4' under a drive to meet codes. I would have used 120V equipment anyway because I wanted a 120V GFI outlet in the parking area.

As an alternative, one of our neighbours (anybody within several miles is considered a neighbour around here) is talking about putting in solar powered lights along their drive. I think the cost of this sort of stuff has come down but I don't know how much light they produce or how many cloudy days it takes before they wouldn't work.

They looked at solar powered lights because they don't have outside power. Somebody wired the hot line for their porch light in the inside switch box rather than the outside light box. If they tapped into the porch light the drive lights would go off when they turned off the porch light. It really wouldn't be that much trouble to run another circuit outside. Maybe they just like the idea of solar powered lights.
