you can use any of the manufacturers post/deck lights on walls....just use anchor bolts and drill holes behind them for the wire.....usually are like 4 watt bulbs that cast down. Try any of the big names, hadco, kichler, focus, cast....they all have similiar stuff.
If you are looking for one of those 'block lights' that is the same size of a versa lok block, I'm not sure if they make a exact fit one, but there are others that can be modified to work.
I think EP henry has its own line of 'block lights' for their systems, if that is what you are after

I agree cast has a nice product. If you want more options of the higher end fixture, check out www.hunza.co.nz or www.eveninglightsllc.com both have great options. vista lighting also has some really nice brass wall/deck lighting. for more options you can go to www.cascadelighting.com.

There are many quality lighting manufacturers out there. I use Kichler mostly but I also use Vista and CAST. Hunza is VERY high end. Hadco and Unique also have good product.

Our experience is with Cast, beautiful fixtures, high quality manufacturing. Really like the How-to manual, walks through figuring everything from placement back to wire, transformer etc. needs in an easy format.
Tahoe Lighting makes a nice paver light for embedding in paios, more heavy duty than some of the old plastic stuff.

Stay away from plastic if you are installing them into a wall. Plastic lights aren't designed to be permanent, or even long lasting, just inexpensive.
A lot of you guys seem to like Cast. I guess I need to look into them. They weren't around when I was an contractor.
Really, 4 watt bulbs Pennscapes? All of the wall fixtures I'm familier with have 12 - 20 watt bulbs.

I use mostly Kichler deck lights and they use 6.5 to 10 watt lamps. That is really all you need for that application. I will attach a photo of some deck lights that I installed on a retaining wall a couple of years ago. It still looks great today. These are 6.5 watt lamps.

Paul - has that shot been photoshopped? The colors are pretty dramatic from sky to trees to wall. Very nice.

The only thing I did was auto color on it. Sometimes I will use photo shop to bring out shadows but there was no need on that shot.
