Landscape lighting - hard-wired electrical vs solar-powered?

Electrical line is already available so what are pros and cons other than ease of installation for solar-powered? This is for a walkway from our driveway to front steps.
Also, how about low-voltage vs normal voltage?


To answer your question properly, one would need to know why you are wanting landscape lights & the location of those lights.

Most people only want a decorative effect & therefore don't need full-blown hard-wired lights. Good quality solars will be fine for them.

    How To Install Landscape Lighting | Outdoor Lighting Authority

    Landscape lighting is a simple way to extend the length of time you can enjoy your outdoor spaces.  This can be achieved several ways.  Pathways, steps, trees, garden features, architectural elements, waterscapes, and decks call all be enhanced through landscape lighting.  Low-voltage lighting is easy and, because it only requires 12 volts of electricity to operate, is safe for the do-it-yourselfer to install.  For our purposes we will discuss the most common form of low-voltage lighting which is pathway lighting.

    Landscape lighting consists of three main components: light fixtures, a transformer, and low-voltage electrical cable.  The transformer must be plugged into an outdoor GFCI outlet fitted with a “while-in-use” cover.  This cover is an oversized plastic box that covers the outlet and has a notch for the power cord to go through.  These are inexpensive, easy to install, and can be obtained from your local hardware store.  The transformer allows you to step down the 120 volt electricity to a safe, usable 12 volt system that we will be using.
