Virtually all exterior lighting is low voltage. There is a variety of fixtures available for different applications. In ground bubbles will give a softer upward light. The lighting for the driveway will have a top and louvers that will direct the lighting downward. All of this can be controlled by a timer controller or photo eyes.

We are electricians in Dallas and do a lot of exterior lighting. Suggest you visit some lighting supply houses to get some better ideas.
