Appreciate the additional thoughts.  Not sure the solar doohickeys will quite 
do it due to shade.  I at least learned about what questions to ask prior to 
purchase.

The Kichler LED controller boasts that smaller G wire can be used as less 
current required in DC to light the LED's vs AC.   ( I assume LED's only really 
light with current in proper direction unless they have some active electronics 
in the fixture) The initial outlay would be for 2 -4,  4w pathway lights and 
one 15w max out front for tree.

Mixing and matching manufacturers may be risky and specs of the lights  are 
difficult to investigate.   For kicks I asked a landscaper who was by about 
ballpark price---4.5K!!!!   Admittedly that was for more lights at farther 
distance ---but still.  Labor around here is nutty.  I'll dig the small 
trenches for this little wire, thank you very much. 

Thanks again for ideas,
Gathering info, Mike
