    You should also point out about not getting fixed led fixtures. Those become trash after burning out.

    Adam, your whole series is really good practical advice. I bought a lot of books but they weren't as good as what I learned from your videos--thankis.

      Mine is currently but I need to move it. We just moved in not to long ago and caught the first warm day soil wasn’t frozen so I could get my landscape lights in. First house on this block to install some. I’ll redo and make it better in the coming days.

    Really curious, I found some pagoda pathway lights that were made in the 1970's... brand new in box, these things are built like tanks. I was considering using low voltage LEDs in them, they have edison base (normal sockets like those used in your house). I see there are 12V LED bulbs sold for marine or RV usage and I can buy 12V transformers, AC or DC. Curious what you think about this and if you have any experience with retrofitting bulbs into these old fixtures. These were made in Kenilworth NJ.

      You can do that if you find some that fit size wise. Brilliance makes house type socket 12v leds

    $120 for an outlet to be installed? No sir, that is not true.

    I had guy install my low voltage flood lights, He is gone now. Problem I’m installing Artificial Turf Grass need to know where the wires are as have to pound 6” nails in turf every 12” to stretch and hold down, what is the best way to locate wires so I won’t cut with nails While installation of artificial turf grass. I was think electrical wand
    Locator must be able to locate low voltage wires. Can you help me so I won’t screw it up please.

    • @kenperry7723

      An irrigation wire tracker would work because it's also low voltage. You can sometimes find them from rent & they look like a metal detector.

    I have appraised many commercial lights and the lights he refers to. The difference is nearly $700 dollars... Just 1 metal L shaped light overhanging a sidewalk would cost nearly $230 for just 1 light... It is absolutely not worth it. As a regular homeowner and a simple conveyor specialist and parts analyst. It would be worth buying the steaked led path light and do the wiring yourself while gutting the electronics and installing a 3w led with 4 resistors that would last 7 to 10 years and install a quick disconnect system to remove the lighting for cutting grass... Mine runs off of a buck boost 6-37v reduced to 4.95v at 12 amps on a 16.8V 4 cell lithium 8hr battery that is more than enough to power it and a 50w solar panel and a 20amp mppt charger.. Thats it.. Wiring is 16 gauge and 24 gauge wiring system for distance and it splits covering move than 600 feet.. This is DC not AC low voltage that runs under the grass and all exit ports and contacts are inside the pipe to the light.

    I know most of the home depot lights seem super poor quality. Lowes also sells cheap lights, but they do sell kichler bronze lights. Aren't those pretty quality lights?

    • @aklighting8292
      @aklighting8292  2 роки тому +2

      They are decent lights. Kichler made "lesser" quality lights to be sold in bulk at Lowes. I don't believe you can get those same lights from any of their professional distributors.

    • @brentwejrowski
      @brentwejrowski 2 роки тому

      @@aklighting8292 Shoot I was actually duped! "olde bronze *finish*" on these kichler lights but apparently they're alluminum. Hopefully they're at least better than the Portfolio or Hampton bay brands though. I guess I'll find out.

    • @kenperry7723
      @kenperry7723 Рік тому

      Siteone sells Kichler which is decent but a higher grade, commercial for longevity than HD/Lowes

      Many local Siteone stores are better options that hardware type stores
