Help ensuring this is cost effective and adaptable?

I am setting up outdoor lighting for the back of my house. I am going to put four floodlights in the back that will be lighting from the back of the house to support the low-voltage lighting on the back fence line (pointing inwards) to create a central pool of light in the center of the back yard.

My plan is to use this outdoor outlet (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHC73DLB) . I would run two lines from that outlet (using both plugs on it) using these to then give me 4 total outlets (https://www.amazon.com/Cablelera-Power-Extension-Splitter-ZWACPQAG-14/dp/B00FRODUR4?sr=8-6).

I am planning on starting with lights like these as they may be too bright but I can find similar ones on Amazon that are less bright if that ends up being necessary: https://www.amazon.com/DEWENWILS-Waterproof-Adjustable-Security-Daylight/dp/B08QHL1W9Q?s=hi&sr=1-21

4 of those ^^ will likely be at least bright enough or too bright to start with.

Thoughts?

I used the zen14 last year for outdoor Christmas lights and it worked as expected

Thank you! I'm hopeful I get those results too as it has a reliable reputation

I just got that double plug a couple days ago for Christmas lights and it's working well. You can control each plug individually which is nice.

One thing I noticed was they say the Max Load is 150W for LED bulbs in the manual, which seems weird. And on the box 80W per outlet for LED string lights.
So, putting two of those 65W LED flood lights per outlet would be over their maximum spec for LED's even though it should be easily handle over 1000W Total (15A x 110V x 0.8).
I thought it was a typo at first, but it seems pretty consistent across the manual, box, and amazon product page.

I don't know their reasoning for it, but figured I'd point it out.

WTF, pick a measurement and stick with it...

watts
amps
watts
fractional horsepower

Ya they like to blame transformers but I think they just under size the hardware slightly sadly.

Is there a z-wave model outdoor plug like this who's specs are in line with this type of lighting? One that also is known to work as advertised in HA.

Although, I can use two of them I suppose since they're not too expensive. Each floodlight is 40 W so if I use one outlet and then run the dumb splitter at the end I'll be at 80 W per unit (whose limit is 150). This will also give me room to grow if I need one or two of these floodlights to be brighter and require a slightly higher wattage draw.

I will have to forgo the dumb splitter in the case of going above 40 W on one of the floodlights due to the 80 W limit. But in that case I'll skip the splitter and just run both lights from an individual outlet in the smart plug.
