I am looking for recommendations for some drive over sealed unit LED lights to go in a 100-110mm hole that has been made in block paving. ( i can make the hole slightly bigger if i really have to)

more options the better please.

The story is i have a great customer, big property and not on a budget. They had there drive block paved and the dumb builder/block paver/ driveway technician or whatever he calls himself ruined it by  buying these http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/TLW35GU.html (a good reason why only sparks should be allowed to buy sparky stuff). There is around 25 of the drive over lights.

The rubbish TLC ones after a few years now have rounded off alan key heads and moisture inside due to top bezel & bad water levels below the drive when the it rains (areas suffer run off from a golf course and surrounding land)

I have found these by Aurora

I am thinking sealed unit LED will be best option as no maintenance changing lamps and lass chance of moisture penetration.

any advice, ideas, sarcasm and bad jokes will be gladly received.

 
I like the collingwood stuff, looks pretty.

The GL038 are walk over only. the drive over ones GL008A GL009A are a bit too big.

I like the candle idea.

at the moment Aurora are still the top of the list. Im going to have to get my finger out and decide on something soon, i dont want to be changing them when the weather gets cold.

 
Went with the Aurora ones in the end as i could not source any other (decent) LED drive over unit around 100mm diameter. Had a RRP over £100, Jegs managed to supply them for £47ish each.

Using Pratley boxes for joints and filling them with magic gel just to be sure. 

4 fitted so far, 7 pratleys installed. the other 13 fittings and rest of the pratleys should arrive tomorrow.

I was going to attach a couple pictures but i can not work out how to do it anymore on here.
