Malibu tier landscape light with LED retrofit I installed these in 2004 and retrofitted them with [url=http://www.galleryoflights.org/mb/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-7803]Philips AccentLED capsules[/url] in 2010. These are the older style lights, no longer made, but are the exact lights shown in the picture on the box for the AccentLED lamps, so I figured they'd be worth a try. They are a perfect fit, and give a better light distribution than the 7w low-voltage incandescents originally equipped. Uplighting the palm tree behind it are two 10w halogen spots and behind that, a 100w mercury wall pack with clear bulb. Keywords: Misc_Fixtures

Very nice pic! The cooler colour temp of the LED retrofit and with the mercury light looks pretty cool with the plants at night. I think you won't get the same effect with a incandescent.

Seems that LED works well in low light level spot and accent applications.

I like it. Iwanted to install low voltage lighting but my dad said no, so I went to benny's and bought liek 20 of those mini westinghouse solar lights. Some have had problems, but haven't replaced one yet. They don't seem to hold a charge for the whole night though.

Yes, I'm not fond of the residential-quality solar LED lights as only on the longest, sunniest days in the summer might they operate all night. On a dark winter day they might not light at all. Though, I do have a number solar tier lights in my back yard because I only have backyard parties in the summertime anyway Smile

I have an old solar light I "refurbished" and it worked quite well last year. Even in late fall it still operated all night with only 9h of daylight to charge the two Ni-Cd batteries. I removed it in late November because it probably would not perform well at all under -15°C LOL.
