I'd have thought self-powered, solar-charged LEDs would do the job at lower cost, less maintenance and reduced risk of theft due to minimal amount of copper wiring. Perhaps they went with AC because LED lighting might have to be dimmer due to solar panel technology.
Being dimmer and being susceptible to low-sunlight non-functionality. We can't have a trail that becomes dark at random hours, depending on how overcast the day was.
