Outdoor battery/solar powerered sensor lights

Before I purchase a set of random lights off Amazon I thought I'd ask on here if anyone has any recommendations.

My driveway is enclosed in a narrow space at the side of my house sandwiched between the side wall and a wooden fence. There's a narrow section of peddles on either side. I'm looking to get some sensor lights that are not mains powered i.e. battery or solar powered and that ideally only turn on when I drive past them or worse case stay on only during the night. I don't want them to be too powerful; mainly to make sure I don't bang into anything when it's pitch black!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Before I purchase a set of random lights off Amazon I thought I'd ask on here if anyone has any recommendations.

    Hi,
    Highly recommend you take a look at https://www.thesolarcentre.co.uk
    I've bought all my solar lights from this company and I can't praise their quality highly enough.
    Wish I had enough room for more but have run out of space. We've bought all different types and they've all been great. There service is fantastic. I've always opted for free delivery option and they still arrive very quickly. You can also read all the reviews which is very helpful. Might be more expensive than Amazon but worth that little extra plus they've currently got a 20% discount code available. I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for on their website.

    These are good but limited to a small area obviously need some sunshine best if the solar panel faces South, but they work 365 days of the year if it only gets used a few times a day
