Since LEDs are amperage driven, a poor connection, or a partially cut wire, will show enough voltage - 12 or 14 volts - but not enough amperage...
Put the shrink tubing over the wire first, then use a butt connector, pack a little electrostatic grease in the ends of the connector, crimp it,...
In my opinion, if the mulch circle is at least 5' from the trunk, installing a couple of Infiniti G4s with the standard optic n the mulch pointing...
On the columns, how about downlights? I used MR11 bullets - not recommended for downlights - but out of the weather, under the eaves they are...
I have also installed them in a fixture like yours, but it already had 3 candelabra base sockets. If you could find a way to put some G4 bases in...
This may not be enough light for you, but it's a 1w Volt puck light in a bird feeder.
Photocells and timers have always been a fail point for me. I'm lucky to see them last two years. Astronomical timers bring their own glitches,...
Yes, it's pretty easy. Get a single pole switch and a box from HD. Cut one of the wires and hook the ends up on either side of the switch. I...
If you have photocell, make sure a light isn't shining on it. Most photocells have a few minutes delay, which would would account for the on,...
It's always a good idea to check the amperage load on the output side of your transformer. Get a basic ammeter (cheap at Harbor Freight) and...
If you can get up there - no I wouldn't ! - how about the small, white MR11 downlights under the eaves, one on each of the wall panels.
Sorry, I missed the first sentence. One thing to consider when you are lighting a tree trunk is the beam width of the bulb . For a River Birch I...
I almost never use well lights. Even bullets will catch debris and leaves, but well lights are always messy. Traffic or vandalism? - use well...
Pathway lighting is an issue with me. What are usually referred to as 'pathway' lights are area lights - think mushroom-shaped. So the light it...
I have used a switch to on/off the lights over a grill. I just found a convenient location for the switch and installed a 'switch loop'. Cut one...
Long delay answering, sorry, but yes, I use a screw that will penetrate through the bark and grab some trunk. If you don't put a standoff spacer,...
Hey I've had a couple of fails. Volt isn't perfect, but their return service makes up for it. Dave
Lights had only been in about a month, and the wire was shredded - including the copper. The culprit was squirrels, basty little nastards. We...
Yes, Tom and TwiHi, good advice, but I like the hub system, where you take the main wire to a location within 25' of the fixtures and wire them...
I use a coated, flat, round 4", sealable, outside connection box (Home Depot, Lowe's), and plug the holes with duct seal (electrician's putty) to...
