Adam- can you provide a link or more details on the Amazon bulbs you use? It would also be good to hear your opinions or recommendation for lumens depending on application. Thanks!

“Professional” grade led bulbs can be purchased at ur local electric store or landscaping store such as site one. There is contractor grade and professional grade. The professional grade are more waterproof and have higher watts/lumens. They are more expensive but u get a better bulb with a longer life. Place dielectric grease on the bi-pin to help extend the life of the bulb socket since it makes it more waterproof

Do you have name or brand bulb?

The problem with Adam is that he sounds like a volt commercial. Whenever he talks about other options out there he never gives you any information other than "you can only get it if your a professional installer" I find some of his videos valuable but a lot of them are really pointless.

@aklighting8292 can you provide a link to the bulbs in your video?

Hello, why don't you use lamps with a gu10 socket? Could you explain the difference and which one do you consider more convenient?

Adam, I bought sunvie ground lights to go around a paver square in my backyard. The problem i have is they are blinding bright. Is there a way to lower the brightness

I wish they would start coloring them green for those of us that have to put them in the grass 🙃

So, what is a 'high' CRI? At what point is it bad/ok/good? Is 80 a good CRI or an okay CRI? Does it go over 100?

@aklighting8292 2 ай бұрын

100 is the highest. I've only seen them go in the 90s. 80 is pretty average. Anything below that would be really bad. If you get 90's, you've got a great bulb!

Why do you use volt? Why not use better fixtures? Like Vista or FX? I use Vista with integrated LEDs a lot in my installations, and FX if they have a bigger budget.

It’s not the driver that kills the bulb it’s the heat that kills LED take it from electrician

I live in NE; if I purchase your “complete course” will it give me info on how to purchase the professional level light with the driver, dedicated light & virgin brass. I want to purchase/install my own system but only if I can get access to the quality that will last 20+ years.

@FixItWithMe Жыл бұрын

I agree…I want to install a brand that will last 20+ years….what brand fixtures did u get and what brand bulbs? Thanks?

@kenperry7723 Жыл бұрын

You can get 20-year fixtures but LEDs of any brands won't last that long. Usually if it's heavier it's better and you get what you pay for. I sell brilliance lamps & they only have five year warranties like most but I hardly ever get them back

@tul9033 Ай бұрын

Bro, "this" bulb is great doesn't help us. Thanks for the video, but links or at least brand names would be much more helpful.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to completely call you out on this video. The information is completely wrong and you're doing people a huge disservice by posting content like this. Every single LED must have a driver in order to work whether its internal or external. Period. LEDs actually use 5 volt DC in order to illuminate and it's the driver that handles the 12v payload from your transformer. Also, all of those lamps are pretty much the bottom of the barrel in quality and light output. Brilliance and FX make the best LEDs on the market hands down, why arent they mentioned? Also, most lamps have an IP rating of 61 to 65, I'm not sure which "engineer" is doing this testing, but these lamps would fail immediately.
