Hello, still doing lights?
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
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!
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!
So follow everybody else or its a mistake. Got it👍
Solar lights are crap. The only people who like them are Chinese companies
Thankfully solar lights have improved since this vid was made 3 years ago
I was hoping for only solar light solution . But anyway great tips nevertheless ! Cheers mate!
Interested in the large Solar Spot Light. What Brand is it?
Solar is starting to get much better, but wired is still the way to go. Just protect them.
How is this MEIKEE 7W LED Landscape Lights OR SUNVIE 12W Low Voltage LED Landscape Lights ,? Looking for a landscaping light installation for small home. Can’t spend for VOLT lighting.
Great video, can i get a 120v garden lights and convert them so it can work with a 12-15v low voltage transformer?
Nicee
Excellent information
The tips are great
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
I actually prefer less light. I just want to be able to see the walkway etc. I don’t want to showcase my house lmao
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
Why would you say don’t buy solar lights when it helps people save money in electricity bill
All these lights and you still can’t see why Goodwill isn’t the final solution for tshirts
Solar lights have came a long way with LED. Coating the solar panel with clear spray paint makes them last for years.
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.
A video I didn’t know I needed, Thanks! Very informative. Great video.
Very nice . So kind of you
3000k info was the most helpful for me!
0:08 good first try, ehh??
YES! Solar lights SUUUUUUCK! They are dim, they die after a week, and you have to buy new ones every year.
My transformers go out during storms how to stop replacing them. Help thanks
Imagine the lightning that Terrance Howard must have on his estate?
Light hue is one of the most important elements of lighting.
Great tips. Thanks.
Golden light is always the most natural and soothing.
Can I reset this system lights are stuck on blue and will not connect to blue please help
Light YOUR property, not everyone else’s. No neighbor should be able to directly see your bulbs. Light pollution is selfish, rude, and illegal.
Very informative!😊
handsome
purchasing Kichler should be first on your list – garbage
That was SO helpful, thank you!
Wait. Blue and white lights don’t match?
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.
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.
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’.
Solar lights are not bad and depends on lumens and quality
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.
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?
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
If you had those vids you were pointing to, I might have stayed on your channel. Cheers!
Getting clicks is an Art, too!

What if you’re not trying to light up your house?? Some of us only want to light the border of the yard and the driveway so we can see where we’re going
