I installed half inch pvc conduit up a tree, a type of pine, to power motion lights. 120 volt system. It only took one season for the tree to grow enough to snap the straps holding the conduit/ electrical box to the tree. I've learned that a bolt, or stud, that is a lag/ wood type screw on one end, and a threaded opposite end is best as you're mentioning. Just make sure you get stainless steel.

Hi Adam I notice most of the houses you are lighting are huge lol. Do you have any videos of just a normal sized house maybe with some small landscaping done maybe more in a neighbourhood? Thanks great videos.

backing screws out has to be done every so often. even more important with tree mounted downlights where you're securing the wiring to the tree.

Just put the bracket on a single long bolt and secure it 4 inches off

just confirming... does Low voltage light saves electrical consumption vs 120V right? Does the Transformer consumes still even when lights are closed? coz it feels warm. hv zero idea on electricity. Appreciate your professional response. Thanks 😊

I just have a quick question you said in your last last like maybe a year ago you said that you have to connect the numbers and the ruff together but in one of the other vids that i watched it says it does not matter? So who do i believe

Hey what kind of spot light would you recommend for a 20ft flag pole?

Lighting something that tall you would need at least a 500+ lumens and a 15 degree beam spread LED bulb.

Hey brother great videos. Just adding lighting into my landscape business. Can you mount transformers in garage? Can you connect transformers to non Gcfi outlets if in garage

Yes and yes. Most often the transformer acts as it's own breaker because of the on/off switch inside. In rare evens would it trip the GFCI.
