TL;DR
An LED path light is a low-voltage landscape fixture on a short stem that pools light downward onto walkways and bed edges, running on a 12-volt transformer and consuming 1 to 5 watts per head where comparable halogens drew 20. Fixture quality divides the market: cast brass and copper bodies with replaceable or integrated long-life LED modules outlast the thin aluminum and plastic of box-store kits several times over.

Designers space the units to overlap pools of light softly and resist the runway look of evenly lined stakes.
