HOW TO INSTALL LANDSCAPE LIGHTING! (6 EASY STEPS)
First time watching Well explained Thanks
Quick question. I have one line of lights that are still working but are dim compared to the others. Id there are fix for this? Thanks in advance.
Thank You!!!!
I have 26 lamps around the house on one main wire and don't like to cut the main wire for every lamp. Using those connectors that puts a pin through the main wire have worked now for more than 2 years, but in last months water is getting in and causing failed connections, even I used some liquid tape to seal it. I really love the idea of not cutting the main wire as it avoid any added resistance in all those T connections that become critical for my quantity of lamps on a single wire. So what is best solution for anyone who don't want to cut the main wire?
GFI Breaker. . . . TY
Solder sleeves it’s what’s use on commercial aircraft
I sure appreciate the tip about leaving extra wire!
I reached to Cal for help. He responded that he wanted pics of the subject areas so he can answer the questions. His response was profound- in a good way! He made a personal video with my pics and pointed out where i should place what light. HE couldn't have made it any more simple to understand; he even suggested the light i should use. Needless to say it was an easy buy decision! Good content..
Trying to land a plane lol
great video! what is the model name/product name of the "best" connector you showed with the orange tabs?
Hi, Do you have a current source for tree stakes? Canadian source would be even better!
This is a great video. So helpful and informative.
Love the details in your videos. Very informative. I didn’t know there was a batter pack I’m going to look at that as an option while i install. Thank you!

Which one would you recommend for 18 AWG sprinkler wires? Really want the connection to last...and thinking one of these (even though you mainly do lighting) would be good. Thank you!
I have a mailbox lighting kit that works on 12v low volt. anyway to rig it to solar?
Do you sell the gutter mount plates? or where do you source them?
Super helpful. Is there a rule-of-thumb for what wattage is best for each application? Should path light bulbs have 3 watts? Should up lights on the house have 4 watts? Should tall tree bulbs have 5 watts? Should upper roof eaves have soft diffuse bulbs?
Very informative and touching all the right points for a newbie. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the basics and the nuances. Appreciate very much.
Just purchased a FX DX luminaire 300w transformer. Surprised that there are 4 wiring connections but only ONE common? Have you seen this before?
On e completely different note, how do fix lights that wont stand in the stake anymore because the plastic threaded part that screws into the stake is decayed? I use epoxy every year and it lasts for the season but next year back where I started. Yea I know I should replace the fixture but lot more work and dont have the money for new set. Any other suggestions?
Thank you for a very informative video. I was thinking of using Volt brand of landscape lights. What is your opinion of this manufacturer? Will I be able to remove the LED bulbs for future adjustments?
Hi there lightning dr, hope I could get some advice on the size of the transformer along with the wire size as well. I’m planning to run to paths 1st is about 250ft and the second is about 120ft. I was planning to purchase 1 transformer “600w” do you think this would be enough for two runs? Or should I buy two for have it run independently? Greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the help!
Hey Guys, thanks for watching. Please leave your questions in the comments. Thanks
Great video. Got an issue with in-retaining wall lighting (so wiring is not accessible without removing and recommending caps). Entire wall is out and original transformer died. But new one won't power it. However partially dismantling multiple bulbs allows direct powering of bulbs, but power does not propagate to other lights from these bulbs (I am connecting power to the place where red and black wires solder on to the led board). Does this mean I have a short somewhere? How come the light closest to power still lights up?
Hi, thanks for the video! Would you kindly share where you get the zip ties that screw into the tree?

where do u connect the ground wire in the transformer
With low voltage lighting there is not typically a ground wire from the field
Thank you for making this video - extremely helpful! Answered all my questions that I was searching for via Google!!!
Does a more fixture means that we need a bigger wire ? i suppose transformer has to be choosen accordingly. How to choose a wire ? I am planning for 10 uplights, 9 harscaping lights and 4 path way lights, i know they are many. Will appreciate a guidance.
General rule of thunb when using led lights and a transformer with a 15 volt terminal is you can put up to 100 watts of lights on up to 250ft of 12/2 wire without any issues
perfect video
Thank you for a great explanation. Just did a design on my front yard and pathway. Testing as I went
Do you have videos of putting lights on fire pits
Great video, you nailed it, will be showing my customers this video from now on. Thank you!.
Super helpful. Lots of information, but at a good pace. Thanks for putting this together. Will be using it as a guideline for a lighting system we are doing on our property this coming month.
Thank you so much for this great information 👍
Do you have a link to that hardscape light you were talking about in this video?

Thanks for the video, Cal! Excellent review.
To up light the front of a white ranch. With a tall peak. Would you go 3w or 5w lights ?
Any second story peaks, I would recommend a 5 watt lamp. Firts story homes and ranch style homes a 3 watt is usually sufficient.
Thanks for the info and the detailed wire diagrams,it really helped a lot, a great video!!!
excellent tutorial! It anaswered so many of my questions! Thank you!
Disclaimer: I am not a contractor, which means I can spend as much time on my home projects as I need to, in order to get the job done the way I want to. There is no way anyone could make a living using my methods. What I did for my landscape lighting was to slip a piece of heat-shrink tubing over the wires, solder the ends of the wires together, put some hot melt glue on the solder connection, slip the heat-shrink back over the connection, the hit it with a heat gun and wait until the hot melt glue squishes out of both ends. It takes time, but it creates a permanent connection that's mechanically sound, and 100% waterproof. Necessary tools: Milwaukee M12 cordless soldering iron, Milwaukee M18 cordless heat gun, and a generic M18 hot-melt glue gun (since Milwaukee doesn't their own yet).
Great video, we have lived in our home for 20 years. All our landscaping lights are just buried under the pine straw. One night one of the 3 main lines heated up and set the pine straw on fire. We were able to put the fire out, but the issue was NOBODY was able to determine how this happened. Not the electrician nor the fire dept. The thought was the wire got wet over time as the insulation looked like maybe it got chewed up by squirrels and corrosion created the heat for the fire? Anyway, it over heated and set the pine straw on fire. Have you heard of this happening? We plan to totally replace all the landscaping lights and start over with all new LED's. We had the old system of lighting. Thanks,
Great help. Thanks!
Exceptional video. Thank you.
Thanks for the video! It was cool to see them in action
Thank you for your great video - this is the best video. You did an excellent job with step-by-step instruction. Well done!
Hello there. Can I run the lights with a comun on/off switch instead of the transformer box?
Man. This is by far the best video I have seen on this topic. Great job
I know I am late to the party, but I bought my own high end kit (Volt) and did a weekend install. Your information in this video was invaluable, as well as your other videos. Thank you for taking the time to show us how to do this with confidence - it is very much appreciated. Hope you are doing well and will continue to educate us.
