Outdoor Solar Lights

I have done some research but am somewhat clueless. I was checking out solar floodlights and see that they tend to be 10 to 20 watts Quartz lights. That sounds like it could not light up a small bathroom. let alone a backyard?!? I have a large size backyard and want to put 2 sensored floodlights back there. I want to have decent lighting and keep the electric bill from skyrocketing. Can solar floodlights light well? Should I go with a halogen? Help please.

I would put halogens and use the 500 watt bulbs they will light your backyard up like day light. But they should be able to be switched off. The reason is if you are relaxing outside at night you don’t want them going off. Word of advice the more expensive fixtures are better. The one I got at Home Depot were $79 but there warrantied for life and heavy duty.
