I have used 12 volt landscape lights for about seven years. * During this time, I have used various light fixtures from Home Depot and Lowe's. *Some seem pretty low quality, some appear pretty decent at first. * But, they all leak after a few years. I have also tried more "upscale" lights from a lighting dealer, *costing in the range of $90 per fixture. * *They also leak after a few years. *I see NO difference in quality of the "upscale" fixtures at $90 than what I buy at the big box stores at $15 *each. * No difference whatsoever. (Generally speaking, I am a believer in the saying that you get what you pay for. *This does not appear to be the case with low voltage landscape lights). Do any of you have experience with the long term use of *low voltage landscape lights, and have you found decent fixtures with good seals, so that they don't leak after a few years ? * If so, what brand/ *store / etc would you suggest that I try ?? Thanks *for any comments or advice *!! James Every brand I've ever used is junk. Most of the line voltage landscape fixtures are garbage as well. The only possible exceptions are the very expensive bronze ones make by Hadco or Kim. I've tried resin and plastic, cast aluminum etc. None hold up over time, and those with bayonet and MR sockets crap out the quickest I've got a set of those cheap plastic lights with the clip in 4v bulbs here at my place in MI... had no trouble with them in the 4 years I've been here, and they were in before I got them... Judging by how many layers of mulch the wires are under, I'd say they've been running strong for 10 years now. The caps come off the top, water and snow fall in, but, it all drains out the bottom so the light doesn't have standing water. my 2 cents Dave |
