Default Floodlights the light up facade of house

Hi,

I've been uable to find essential information about floodlights
designed to elluminate your house at night from below. This is a
modest stone two story house.

1. What's the required wattage per light to make it worthwhile? (Solar
out?)
2. How far from the house to put the lights?
3. Do the wires go ON the ground or IN the ground?

4. Can you recommend a good package?

Thank you very much in advance!

try the low voltage malibu lights, connect them up temporarily in the
daylight then move them around at nite for best coverage. experiment a
bit. it can be fun. bring a friend for opinions.

I kinda enjoyed doing this at my other home, it had black areas even
with a pole light. I used line voltage accent lights by steps and a
flood bouncing off the porch cieling to elminate safety hazards. sad
the new owners rarely turn them on. I had them on a timer then
attached to the pole light sensor for auto dusk operation. I was proud
it turned out well
