So does anybody have recommendations for decent LED uplighting and pathlighting that ISN'T $200 a light?

Are you not happy with the HomeDepot/Lowes offerings?

I know it's been mentioned on here before but someone else brought up this place Volt Landscape Lighting. They seem reasonable priced and probably a step up from what you can get at the local box store. I also know that Site One(JDL) sells landscape lighting and I would look into them and see what prices they can get it at for you.

I have not looked at them to be honest, should I?

This actually looks pretty good, thanks!

It's all personal opinion, but I'd at least look. For me personally, I think there are diminishing returns (no pun intended) on things like outdoor lighting. Is a $20 fixture 10x worse than a $200 fixture? IMO, no. They shine at night so are usually hidden, and even if one quits working, they aren't too much to replace. Maybe a fancy fixture or two near the home entrance that will be seen a lot, but it's all personal taste and up to you. Buy quality stuff, but just don't go overboard, imo.

For me, I need like 6-8 lights total, and apparently the transformer is the expensive part. Looks like it would be $800 and change for the Volt ones mentioned above, all in. I could probably live with that.

I bought my 300w transformer from www.bestprolighting.com. I really like it. They also have very reasonably priced LED lighting options as well. Might want to check them out.

Cheers!

Go with Voltlighting, you will not regret it. Especially if you buy their brass fixtures, they are heavy duty and real quality.

Also, look for their weekly/biweekly promotions. I was able to buy a bunch of well lights for 50% off. I saved about 500 bucks in lighting.
