  we recently installed an irrigation system on a timer in a garden that we built, hozelock sell pretty much everything you need to design and install a system yourself. we used a 13mm black weep pipe which is fine for runs under 80m long anymore than this and you loose to much pressure for runs over 80m you will require a drip system. follow the link below
  as far as the lighting is concerned i have used some low voltage lighting in the past which is really effective these can be purchased from a company called fishtastic.
  hope this helps

  Hi Ed
  we used the digital timer the aqua control pro i believe as that was the one the client wanted and they have had no problems with it.

  For domestic irrigation, I would recommend Claber over Hozelock any time. Much better quality and more durable. I can point you to an on line supplier if you're interested.
