We clean up after ourselves.

LEONLITE low voltage pathway lights are designed for easy DIY installation! You don't need to be an electrician. Typically, installation involves:

• Positioning the lights: Decide where you want to place your lights along your pathway, driveway, or garden.
• Connecting to a low voltage transformer: You'll need a low voltage transformer (often sold separately) to step down your household voltage to a safe 12V or 24V. Simply run low voltage landscape wire from the transformer to your lights.
• Using connectors: Most systems use simple connectors to easily attach the wires to the lights – often tool-free!
• Staking into the ground: Many pathway lights come with stakes to securely place them in the ground.

We include detailed instructions with our lights, and there are many helpful online videos demonstrating low voltage lighting installation. While a professional can certainly install them, most homeowners find it a manageable DIY project.

One of the great benefits of LED low voltage pathway lights is their energy efficiency! They use significantly less electricity than traditional incandescent or halogen lights, resulting in very low running costs.

For example, a typical LEONLITE 3W LED pathway light, running for 8 hours per night, would cost only pennies per month to operate. Even a larger system with multiple lights will have a minimal impact on your electricity bill. LEDs are also long-lasting, reducing the need for bulb replacements, which saves you money and time in the long run.

LEONLITE pathway lights are built to last! Our integrated LED models boast impressive lifespans of 30,000 to 50,000 hours. That means with typical nighttime use, they can last for many, many years before needing replacement.

Maintenance is minimal. Occasionally, you might want to:

• Wipe the lenses clean: Dust or debris can accumulate on the lens, reducing brightness. A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that's needed.
• Check connections: Over time, ground movement or weather might slightly loosen wire connections. Periodically check to ensure connections are secure.

Other than that, LEONLITE pathway lights are designed to be essentially maintenance-free, allowing you to enjoy beautiful and reliable outdoor lighting for years to come.

Yes, low voltage pathway lights are very safe, especially around children and pets. Because they operate at a low voltage (typically 12V or 24V), there is a significantly reduced risk of electrical shock compared to standard household voltage (120V).

This low voltage makes them a much safer option for outdoor lighting, giving you peace of mind knowing your family and pets can safely enjoy your yard and pathways.

LEONLITE pathway lights offer a range of brightness levels to suit different needs. While pathway lights are primarily designed for accent and safety lighting, not for high-intensity illumination, they provide ample light to clearly define pathways and walkways for safe navigation at night.

The brightness is measured in lumens. Look for lumen ratings in the product specifications. For pathways, lights in the 100-400 lumen range are generally sufficient, providing a soft, guiding light without being overly harsh. Our product descriptions will help you choose the right brightness for your specific application.

While solar pathway lights are convenient in some ways, low voltage pathway lights offer several key advantages:

• Reliability & Consistent Brightness: Low voltage lights are powered by a transformer, providing a stable and consistent power source. Solar lights rely on sunlight to charge batteries, which can result in inconsistent brightness and shorter run times, especially on cloudy days or in shaded areas.
• Brighter Light Output: Generally, low voltage LED pathway lights can provide brighter and more reliable illumination than solar lights.
• All-Weather Performance: Low voltage systems are less affected by weather conditions. Solar lights can struggle in prolonged periods of cloud cover or snow.
• Wider Range of Styles & Features: Low voltage systems offer a broader selection of styles, materials, and advanced features like color changing and smart controls compared to solar pathway lights.

For reliable, consistent, and brighter pathway lighting, low voltage systems are often the preferred choice.

Yes, absolutely! LEONLITE low voltage pathway lights are fully compatible with timers and light sensors. In fact, we highly recommend using them for convenience and energy savings.

• Timers: You can easily connect a timer to your low voltage transformer to set your pathway lights to turn on and off automatically at specific times each day.
• Light Sensors (Photocells): A light sensor will automatically turn your lights on at dusk and off at dawn, providing effortless operation and ensuring your lights are only on when needed.

Automating your pathway lights with a timer or sensor enhances convenience, security, and energy efficiency.

Our XGEN™ Smart series, with RGB+CCT capabilities, primarily uses a proprietary 2.4GHz wireless protocol controlled via our LEONLITE app or a dedicated remote. They arenotnatively compatible with DMX or Lutron systems. For integration with these professional systems, you would need a bridge or gateway device that can translate between the protocols (not supplied by LEONLITE). We recommend consulting with a lighting control specialist for complex integrations.

The power factor of our LED pathway lights typically ranges from 0.8 to 0.95, depending on the specific model. Power factor represents the efficiency of power utilization. A higher power factor (closer to 1) indicates that the fixture draws current more efficiently, minimizing wasted energy and reducing the load on the transformer. A low power factor can lead to increased energy costs and potentially overload the transformer if not accounted for in system design. Always refer to the individual product specification sheets for precise power factor values.

Our 3000K CCT pathway lights generally have a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 80 or higher, with many models achieving 90+. While we prioritize CRI for general color accuracy, we are also adopting TM-30-18, a more comprehensive color rendering metric. We can find these data in theIES file. Rf (Fidelity Index, similar to CRI) and Rg (Gamut Index) values. Detailed photometric reports, including TM-30 data and IES files, are available upon request for specific product models.

Both magnetic and electronic transformers can be used with our lamp-ready fixtures, provided they are rated for low-voltage (12V-24V AC output) operation. Electronic transformer is more recommended for the LED bulbs. Because it can provide more stable voltage.

LEONLITE integrated LED pathway lights are designed as highly durable, long-lasting units. In most cases, the LED modules and drivers are integrated and not intended for field replacement as individual components. This sealed design contributes to their weather resistance and long lifespan.

However, LEONLITE stands behind the quality of its products. In the event of a component failure within the warranty period, please contact our customer support for assistance. Warranty policies vary by product; refer to the product documentation for specific details.

LEONLITE pathway light drivers incorporate built-in surge protection to mitigate damage from transient voltage events. The typical surge protection level is [Specify Joules Value, e.g., 1kV/2kV surge protection (common mode/differential mode)]. This provides a degree of protection against common voltage spikes.

For areas with frequent lightning activity or unreliable power grids, we recommend considering supplemental surge protection devices installed at the transformer level for enhanced system-wide protection. Consult with a qualified electrician to assess your specific surge protection needs.

For our "Lamp-Ready" Premium Brass Pathway Lights (USDL and PDBL series), the optimal G4 bi-pin LED bulb specifications depend on the desired lighting effect:

Recommended G4 LED Bulb Specifications,ConsiderationWattage: Up to 5W LED (equivalent to 20W Halogen),Energy Efficiency & Fixture RatingBeam Angle: 360° or Wide Angle (120°+),Omnidirectional light distribution for pathway illuminationCCT: 2700K-3000K (Warm White),Traditional warm ambiance, complements brass finishCRI: 80+,Good color rendering for landscape featuresVoltage: 12V AC/DC,Match fixture voltage rating

Choosing a bulb with a wider beam angle (360° or 120°+) will maximize the light spread and effectively illuminate pathways. Warm white CCT (2700K-3000K) is generally preferred for landscape lighting, creating a welcoming and natural ambiance. Ensure the LED bulb is rated for outdoor use (wet location).
