Lighting for pave walkway

I am installing a Brick walkway which will be 10' in width and will have Belgian block edging. We would like to install some lighting along the walkway that is not pathway lights. Ideally, the lights should be either set in the walkway along the perimeter or set within the belgian block edging. I would prefer them to be set in the walkway. The only lights I have found so far are round.
Can anyone suggest some nice lighting that is suitable for this application. I am hoping to find some lights that are rectangle in shape, recess in the walkway and spread light for pedestrians.

Thanks much

Take a look at these. There are a number of different companies that make these types of lights.

Thanks guys! Matt K. thanks for the link this looks perfect.
Matt H. The photo is pretty much what I'm looking for. Could you provide more info? A single photo is just a teaser.

Thanks,

nightscapespaul is an unknown quantity at this point
Just my opinion, when it comes to paver lights, I like to be a little more subtle. Look into Evening Star lights. They are more work to install but it is worth it because these lights have alot less glare with them.

Thanks paul those are pretty nice. I think I like those better. What we decided to do is bore a hole in the belgian blocks that border the patio and insert a spot light. The landscaping on this job is very traditional and the homeowner would not like to see lights set in the walkway. Not my call, I would of preferred the paver lights but I think the spot light set in the belgian block will be nice.
