Great info, brother. Thanks!
This was a very helpful intro! Thank you.
Great tips
Thanks
Ready to do lighting low voltage style… but finding ideas for ranch home uplighting is hard to..
Trying to decide up lighting for house,landscaping.. flag pole and path lighting.
I recommend you follow the dark sky movement and eliminate or reduce up lights period. Focus your business on safety path lights and subtle area lighting. Oh and “architectural lighting” is a bit more ego driven than landscape lighting.
It's so great to see a smart, articulate guy talk about his real area of knowledge. This is going to help me a lot – thank you!
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you
very informative and interesting video
3,000k minimum… got it. Cheers for the tip. 😉
A second for dark sky-friendly landscape lighting. I’m designing my own because there are not enough professionals who care.
That was SO helpful, thank you!
Solar lights are not bad and depends on lumens and quality
The tips are great
Maybe somebody can tell me: why is it that when I watch a video and somebody is pointing over their shoulder and referring to another video, it's not there? Is this due to my adblocker or something like that? I get this all the time.
So follow everybody else or its a mistake. Got it👍
We use to have all wired lighting in our landscaping. But the weedeating caused a problem. Wires got destroyed. So instead of doing it all over we just went we solar. Makes it so much easier. We went with just the amount of lighting we wanted. Not to low and not to bright. We like it.
Interested in the large Solar Spot Light. What Brand is it?
I enjoy watching your videos at 0.75x playback speed, makes it feel like i have a drinking buddy who is a professional lighting installer
Very nice . So kind of you
Hello, looking for an LED strip light for tucking under the capstones of a retaining wall. There is a half inch overhang. Any affiliate link suggestions for strip / tape light options are appreciated. Subdued, warm white and not too many lumens – thanks!
IMO the "recommended" examples here are hideous. In much the way a little well-placed quiet lets us appreciate the music more, some night should be a part of night lighting. Turn off the glare and allow a little darkness in between lights!
A video I didn’t know I needed, Thanks! Very informative. Great video.
Very helpful, thank you! All your videos are great. One question thou: my concrete porch extends approx 8’ from house and Is 40’ long of 60’ total length, and has double window, single door and another double window on porch. How can I set lights so windows/door doesn’t look washed out?
Hello, still doing lights?
I have purchased random light sets and large transformers, Is there a service where I can share my landscape and get feedback on where to place what? I am very handy, but I don’t know what to use. Floods, spot, wall wash….. do you typically use 50w or 20w for trees? Thanks
im doing a solar enchanted woodland theme with my small garden, im not a home owner and may not live here for rest of my life,so solar is ideal to put amongst flowers,shrubbery etc
Wait. Blue and white lights don't match?
Light YOUR property, not everyone else's. No neighbor should be able to directly see your bulbs. Light pollution is selfish, rude, and illegal.
purchasing Kichler should be first on your list – garbage
Great advice on the color temperature. Can't stand daylight (6500k) outdoor led lighting. Looks shrill and garish and is just painful to look at. 2700k to 3000k is what you want for a natural look.
The thing that is a little bit annoying about this is that its really expensive like i dont got like 1m dollars i only got like 1000 in my bank probably
You can buy different wattage of bulbs 5, 7 and 11 depending on what effect your looking for but remember Low Voltage Transformers have a max watt limit. So if you want ten 11 watt lights which is 110 watts and your transformer max is 100 watts that won't work.
Nicee
0:08 good first try, ehh??
My transformers go out during storms how to stop replacing them. Help thanks
👍
Can I reset this system lights are stuck on blue and will not connect to blue please help
Use low intensity solar LEDs. DO not use high intensity mains powered lights like these 1:27 because they disorientate creatures like moths who are very important nighttime pollinators. Don't banish the night with these stupid light polluting landscape lighting 'solution'.
YES! Solar lights SUUUUUUCK! They are dim, they die after a week, and you have to buy new ones every year.
Why would you say don’t buy solar lights when it helps people save money in electricity bill
Excellent information
