re: Landscape Lighting

At one house, I put in the kit from lowes. It works, lights look good. You do not get much control options, it has an eye and all you can set is the length of time it stays on. The lights themselves do not last very long, they rust out quick. Also you can not add too many more lights to the transformer you get.

At the other house I put in a stainless Kischler transformer. It has complete control options, lots of power to add on, and a lifetime warranty, and different voltage outputs. Then I bought the cheap lights that come with the lowes kit. I spent my money on the good transformer and control system, and I will replace the cheap lights with Kischler LED's as they rot out.

Watch out. The wire can get expensive, if you have a long run use heavier wire (I used 12-2) and/or run it back to the transformer to make a complete loop. You could also used a higher voltage if you get the kischler.
