garden lights low voltage or solar what's your opinion

[chwkreefer]

I want to get some garden lights but I am not sure which way to go. I like the idea of the solar, but from what I understand they aren't nearly as bright as the low voltage garden lights. I'm hoping some of you have some experience with these products and can offer some good advice as to what to buy.

Obviously there is an ongoing cost in buying low voltage, but I don't want to get solar if that lighting is like looking at a flashlight with low batteries.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
