VOLT Brand Lighting - DIY
I'm intrigued by the kit but it's very expensive for the number of lights I plan to install. The starter kit at $500 only comes with 3 pathway lights and 6 floods. I'll need to spend another $500+ in expansion kits at least to cover what I want.

Too high for me although I do like the lever connectors. I don't mind to fuss with a little gel and stripping cables. It's not that much work.

I like the little sleeve that you can adjust on the well lights to reduce glare too. Definitely noted that so any lights I buy I'm going to look for that feature.

eta i should clarify: my current budget is $1,000 for this project (pending the sale of a few of those nest cameras I have left!) but for that amount i expect to get 15-20 lights, the wiring, the waterproof connectors, that trenching tool ($129 alone) and the Ring smart transformer so i won't have to depend on a photo cell or mechanical timer.

I've never had any issues w/ my photocell. If anything the Ring will be more work b/c you will have to change the time for different times of the year w/ the sun set/rise times changing.
