The LEREKAM pair is the landscaper's pick of this list: 40 LEDs per head in warm white, three brightness modes that trade output for runtime, 8 hours on high up to a stated 25 hours on low, and a panel that adjusts 120 degrees separately from the light's own 360 degree spread. That separation of panel and head is what makes a spotlight work in real shade patterns.

Mounting is 2-in-1, stake or wall, and the IP65 rating is stated. Two lights will dress two trees or a bed and a path junction. For whole-garden coverage the bigger packs below carry more heads for the money, with less control per head, which is the standing trade in this category: control at the feature, or coverage across the border.
