Q&A

Low Voltage Deck Light Questions

 
How many lights can I install on a transformer?
Up to 50 lights. See transformer section. For further detail, read the transformer instruction sheet included with the transformer.

What type of bulb is used, and where do I get replacements?
The bulb is a standard automotive brake light bulb, and can be purchased at any auto parts store.

Can a dimmer switch be used?
Dimmer switches are not effective on low voltage lighting.

Can the light output be reduced on the low voltage light?
A 7.5 watt bulb is available to reduce the light output if desired.

Some lights appear dimmer than others, what do I do?
This is a result of wiring issues. Primary due to longer distances from the transformer (200 or more feet). There are several different wiring schemes to address and/or correct this. Please refer to the transformer instruction manual to correct.

I have low voltage landscape lighting; can I add Decklights to this?
Generally, the answer is no. It is best to start from scratch, for two reasons: First, the transformer likely has less wattage output than is necessary for the  Deck lights. In addition, landscape lighting usually uses 18-gauge wire, which is too light for our Deck Light product. Using this will cause a drop in wattage, making the lights appear dimmer.

Can I change the glass style in the light?
Yes, glass can be purchased separately to change between the styles. This includes new Tiffany Opalescent Glass in red, white, blue, and green

Can I put the lights on an inside switch?
Yes. To do so, the outlet that the transformer plugs into must be wired to the desired switch. The transformer is then placed in "manual mode", operated by the light switch. former section. For further detail, read the transformer instruction sheet included with the transformer. 

Solar Deck Light questions

What is the run time on the solar light?
The run time will vary based on the season. During the summer months, the solar light will run for up to 14 hours. During the winter months, the shorter daylight hours, as well as cloudy days, will reduce the run time to approximately 3-6 hours.

How long will the Solar lights last?
The LED bulbs are designed to last a lifetime, as is the solar collector. These are of the highest quality and latest technology available today. The batteries are 1.5V NiCad batteries. These will last approximately 1000 cycles, or roughly three years. Batteries are warranted for one year. Replacements can be purchased locally.

My solar light will not light up?
The most common issue is the battery. It takes up to three weeks for a new solar unit to cycle to full capacity. Winter months will effect this cycle time as well, if installed in the middle of winter. To test a solar unit, remove the NiCad batteries, and install AA alkaline batteries. Cover the entire solar collector to test the unit. If the unit lights up, replace the NiCad batteries.
