Small solar spotlights are cheap, from about £12.99 pair, easy to use and very effective in the small garden. Buy those that are matt black with a simple spike for fixing. Position them under plants that allow the to under light and create shadows of foliage. Make sure though that the solar panel is not obscured by anything as this will prevent it recharging the batteries. Rain water standing on the panels will also reduce the recharging rate. One disadvantage with these lights is that after a few days of dull weather their operation is reduced in brightness and the length of operation. Because they are so small and portable they can be moved around to create a different theatre in your yard - so leave your curtains open, turn off the TV and just enjoy the spectacle!
