LED outdoor low voltage lights as beacons?
 

I wonder is there any off the shelf led units that are not crappily made
that one can illuminate a globe with at regular intervals down the side of a
path?
Its got to be better than the existing garden lighting witch uses bulbs and
horrible IDC connections to the wire that go intermittent or open circuit
either at the holder or interconnections.

Depends, there are bollard-sized ones, do you mean something in between
that and the six inch tall ones on spikes?

I used some low voltage decking lights inserted into block paving along the edge of my drive just like landing lights on a runway. In my case it was to indicate the edge of the drive at night as I reverse off the drive.

Yep, the Philips Hue Calla lights are that. Not cheap tho.

True.

Its not the height but the sphere size and illumination which is the key
here.

I can easily mount them any old place if they have a stem, after all, you
just make up or buy a clamp or screw through the middle of the tube. The
point is that they need to run from a supply not the daft dark sensor solar
ones, as the idea is to switch them on remotely from a cab. It will aid me
getting to my house when its dark, since the cab can see the light come on,
and hence I don't have to try to locate my place.

I also have had another idea. I used one of those tile things that work via
bluetooth today, and although these work well, they are not very loud. What
I need is either a tile with a bigger speaker or maybe one fixed at the
bottom of a horn or something so you can hear it better.

And they are low voltage lights? I thought the lights you mentioned were
normally mains ones, but I've been out of touch for a while.

The Garden Lighting Shop has a range of different mains operated garden
lights:

Nothing exactly as you describe, but they do have 200mm 300mm 400mm and
500mm stone effect ground level sphere lights with mounting spikes. They
also have a range of pedestal and bollard lights.
