For spot lighting try LED Christmas lights. I just 'inherited' 300
bright white LEDs for the future layout thanks to my wife's buying them
for the tree. WAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too bright for a home tree, looked more
like Rock Center but all white.
These are replaceable like regular Christmas lights but with special
fixtures so it would be very easy to wire the fixture in say a lamppost
right over the sensor to operate the accessories.
I haven't cut them apart yet because I'm still waiting for a place for
the layout so can't tell you what the voltage on each is.
They were $9.99 for a 100 at Lowes and they are GE.
