I have a steep one lane driveway that flattens out and also widens to 2 car + parking at the top, so that when backing down it, you can't see where you're going until the car gets off the flat part and the surface is now in your mirror. Additionally, there is no ambient light and it's blacktop, so at night all you have are reverse lights which mostly do nothing.
I need lights that will allow one to see where they're backing, and ideally something to guide them before the car is on the incline but that's secondary. Maybe the illumination lights can also serve as side-view mirror guide lights.
One side gets sun most of the day but the other is only morning sun, but maybe enough to do solar, if solar has come far enough that the lights will work for more than a few months.
I could also just run a circuit underground which would also give me nice options for a lamp post at the bottom, and some footpath lighting in the stone wall at the top.
Have any of your done this with reasonable success (or, of course, horror stories :-) )?
thanks,
jim
