Path ways should have enough light to make it inviting. A mixture of spot and flood lights will be needed.
What fixtures do you have there now? If its just a couple of exterior light bulbs, then any LED light weill do. Try to get a 2700K or no more then 3000k bulb. Any higher then that, the light will be white like an office. It look horrible. If you are to redo the lighting, this is the place I buy from.

They make a professional grade light but not a professional price. Solid product unlike the plastic or pot metal Malibu lights at Home Depot |
This is the fixture that's next to the patio doors now.
Jeff, I just want something that is aim able with a wide field, but a bit more of a soft white. Also would prefer LED for energy savings. I'll check out your link. Thanks!
