SUNVIE 3W Low Voltage Pathway Lights, 4-Pack 7.9" 3000K Classic Aluminum

This home is five blocks from the ocean in North Carolina. Even away from the ocean the environment is brutal. It destroys things. Longevity is a key point here but these are newly installed so time will tell. I chose carefully. These are made of aluminum so I believe they're my best shot. Steel rusts and the sun wrecks plastic. I was very pleased when I opened the box. These are very well made! Heavy materials and a very nice fit and finish. They fit together well and look fantastic as you can see from the photos. I should mention the light is warmer and softer than the pictures. The camera kind of juiced them up! The light is plenty strong but pleasing to the eye. There's a couple of spot lights in there. I needed more than this set so I purchased another smaller set that included spot lights. One thing worth mentioning: In the past when I bought landscape lights each light came with like a six foot cord with a connector on it. You just chained them together. This set comes with about an 18" wire on each with bare ends and a bag of connectors. You put a connector on each light then plant them however you like. You're the going to have to purchase a roll of low voltage wire long enough to cover your distance. You then roll the wire out from you transformer station right along the string of lights. You then take the connectors on the lights and attach them to the main wire. It's a piercing type connector so no cutting and fidgeting is required. They clamp on, pierce the wire, you screw them on tight and move on. So be forewarned you have to buy some wire, some $40 to $60 for a hundred foot roll as an example, depending on which gauge you choose. They provide a guide on that too. I ended up having to buy one gauge heavier than I needed because Lowe's was out. I should mention I absolutely love this set-up. Aside from having to buy wire it is a breeze to install. All kinds of flexibility on where you place the lights. If you decide to add one later, no problem. Just place it and pinch it to the main wire. It's a great system. I'm hoping for the longevity but for now these are definitely 5 stars.

These work great. They produce a night level of light. Most importantly, the bulbs are not visible, so they don't produce an annoying bright spot, just ambient light on the ground. They were easy to install.

Took all of 20 minutes to set up, connecting the four lights to a 250w box. The four pieces (top, light, neck extension, and stake) were very easy to assemble, and took under 30 seconds per light. Each unit comes with a pre-stripped wire making the connection easy. These lights are a bit brighter than I thought, but still great!

very good lights. Easy to install.

I am a landscaper, and install landscape lights quite often, so let me first say that once these are installed - they look just as good as the high-end units we put in (the ones that cost upwards of $300 per light, such as Kichler). The assembly is the first clue that these are not exactly built to last - thin-walled metal tubing, threads that look like they could strip easily, and the metal frame for the uplights bent once as I was trying to adjust it. In addition, since installation two of the round shades for the path lights have broken off their plastic housing through some incidental contact (once from a hose, another time from a snow shovel). Repaired relatively easily, but likely to break again in the future. The actual installation is fairly foolproof, but not eactly easy. The strange little threaded assembly they give you is actually tough to get a good connection with - I had to strip more of the wire from the lights than was provided, which is fine - if you have wire strippers. The little spike-things that are meant to sit like a saddle on top of the electrical wire were also tough to install. The "saddle" portion was a little too narrow for the insulated wire I was using, which made the threaded cap VERY tough to screw on. Since both parts were plastic, there was enough elasticity that I was able to get them all on, but I suspect that could be another failure point down the road, especially given our cold winters. In the end, I ended up using more traditional connections (ACE connectors, which require a torch to weather-proof them) that will probably last much longer than the lights. All that being said, for the money I was able to uplight two of my trees in the front yard and provide path lighting from my front sidewalk all the way back to my patio area in the back yard, for FAR less than I would have using a higher-end commercial light. I added a smart-plug in the transformer, and now they are controlled by my smart-phone, and they look fantastic. If you are comfortable doing some VERY basic electrical work (you don't even have to mess with a positive or negative line with low voltage like this) - I would highly recommend these; so long as you don't care if you have to replace a few over time.

These lights are easy to work with, look great, and hold up well over time. I have used them on my previous home as well as my new home and have been very happy with all the products in this brand.

These are the perfect items to create easy to install outdoor lighting, Excellent purchase!

These lights come in four parts, which are easily screwed together into a strong and solid assembly. All parts except the cover over the LEDs are made of heavy weight aluminum and should be very durable. They provide a pleasing, warm light, which is directed toward the ground to avoid glare. I did not use the connectors supplied, which are similar to those which come with other low-voltage lights. They may be fine, but did not seem as water-resistant as separate connectors I purchased.
