Are you lighting a path or something wider like a driveway? How much light do you need? Do you need to just define the edges? (solar powered) or light it up so you can see uneven raised stones or similar? (mains powered low voltage) or light it up like daylight? (mains voltage garden lamps)

Right, OK. I think thats the solar powered ones out as they are not bright enough.
Probably the cheapest and easiest option is these:

B&Q sell them, or used to at about the same price but I can't find them on their unusable website.
My brother hites out marquees and uses these to light the sides of the marquee from the outside. They last a couple of years (though use a lot of bulbs) being thrown in and out of the back of a lorry.
You can wire them up with flex to a plug in your waterproof socket and daisy chain one from another so you only need 1 socket.
