Having looked around at what's available,
I settled on some garden lighting kits that
were to my taste and today bought them from
B&Q. I have just had a large deck built in
the garden and they will be installed in a
number of locations in and around the decking.

Thanks for all the useful replies.
Before I answer each individually, I need to state
that since my first post, I have discovered that
each of these lighting kits uses a transformer which
is also the plug. Thus, it is apparent that the
manufacturers intend for this to be 'plugged in',
to a wall socket WITHIN the house. This scuppers
my original plan but I still want to avoid a mass
of transformers on the wall indoors.

I'm confident, from your posts, that there is a
solution which will enable me to 'do away' with
these ugly beasts AND allow me to control the lights
from the decking.

cheers,

deano.
