Looking for a simple, durable, high quality light system to put in the crepe myrtles. Ease of use and installation most important. Not too concerned with price. Let me know if you’ve had any success with a certain brand or system. Thanks.

I went to Keeling Company in Industriplex in BR with what I wanted to do. They drew out a plan, talked it over with me and recommended what I should do. I installed it myself( about 400 ft run to light 16 crepe myrtles down driveway). Easy install and 5 or so years later not a single issue. Way different than my experience with the cheaper Home Depot kits.

Look at Volt lighting online. I bought their Top Dog light kit three years ago and they still look new.

Can not go wrong with Pro-Trade lighting. Good warranty quality light. $55 a fixture for a light that lasts. You can get them at any SiteOne.

Just seen where you are not worried about price so yeah I’d go with Vista or Kichler.

I have these lights and love them. You can change the color.

one more question-how can I run the wire under the front walk--or would it just be easier to have two separate transformers?

looks fairly easy to drill beneath the sidewalk, I've just never done it. I could get a send transformer for the other side for another $100 or so and save the trouble?

YouTube it, basically you can buy a kit that allows you to make a piece of pvc into a water jet and push the pipe under the walkway.

If Money really isn’t an issue. A few months ago one of my neighbors copied me and planted crepe myrtles and installed lights too. Except she can control her lights from her phone. Can change colors, etc. Purple/Gold on game day. Red/ white /Blue on 4th, etc. Blows my shite out of the water.
