Where to find some decent path lights?

You know what they say about assuming right?

Initial installation yes, nothing to it, but once it gets some moisture and bury the lines, the gremlins find a home between the power source and the end of the line of the light string.

My only advice is use 12V and avoid the solar lights all together, the solar lights are usually junk and you will be replacing them.

This a 100 times over.

Just about any of the landscape lights are going to have plastic stakes, yes they break, but its an easy fix. and BTW, even the metal ones have plastic connectors and that's where they break.

If you want them to last, solder the connections and cover with liquid electrical tape. they will be good for years, or until you cut a wire digging in the flower bed. Use led bulbs and put a little dielectric grease on the contacts to prevent corrosion.

I have a cheap Home Depot Malibu brand set in my back yard that's 9 or 10 years old and still works just fine.
