Garden LED solar lighting

I am looking at installing some LED lighting around my garden on the fence posts (and maybe on my decking newels once it is installed).
I want some good quality, reliable, solar lights. I am undecided about post top lights or down lighters fixed to the posts and there is also the possibility I might decide to install lights on the floor to highlight the path (think path lights for a quay/boat moorings).
Does anyone have any experience of them and can recommend something or even recommend a decent brand so I can peruse their range?
Regards
Phil

I'd suggest choosing lights that allow you to easily change the internal rechargeable battery.
In the UK, we don't get very much intense sunlight to fully charge the batteries from the small solar panels on the lights. That together with the cold months leads to batteries not holding charge or leaking after a few years.
If you are looking for something with substatial light output to illuminate an area, they'll usually have a larger separate solar panel:
