SUNVIELED Landscape Lights 12V Aluminum Low Voltage Pathway Lights with Stake, Waterproof for Walkway Yard Garden, 12 Pack with Connectors

This is a great kit to enhance your home! We used the whole kit and had an electrician install. They were easy to space and install. The light is perfect to light a path and the spot lights are adjustable. These have survived some strong storms without issue and some rough kids. The settings are easy to figure out and we adjust the time as needed throughout the season. We will consider another set for our backyard.

I Recently purchased two sets (24 total) of the Sunvie path and spotlights. I had a 10+ year old low voltage setup from Malibu that were overall inferior to the Sunvie's equivalent products. The metal on the Sunvie lights seems to be of good quality and will likely hold up well over time. The Malibu felt cheaper, but the lights had replaceable bulbs vs the apparently sealed bulbs on the Sunvie. Hopefully the Sunvie bulbs last a long time.The new style of Sunvie connectors are far easier to use and seem more well built than the older Malibu connectors. This made installing Sunvie's lights using my existing 16/2 wiring a piece of cake. Note: I would not recommend using larger than 14/2 wiring. I tried 12/2, but that was near impossible to use with the Sunvie connectors. I ended up using 16/2 for my new run to my front yard. I have a 'single zone' 150w transformer with nearly 200 feet of 16/2 wire i.e. I don't think most people will need larger wire.Lots of pro's. listed above. The only con I found is that the bracket for the Sunvie spotlights can bend with too much force in hard soil. This can easily be mitigated by either making the hole first or pushing on the bottom of the bracked that attaches to the metal spike that will not easily bend.For now, I would recommend Sunvie low voltage lights. I will try to update my review in the future.

nice and easy to install, bright and look great

Great quality and ample of light!

I am a landscaper, and install landscape lights quite often, so let me first say that once these are installed - they look just as good as the high-end units we put in (the ones that cost upwards of $300 per light, such as Kichler).The assembly is the first clue that these are not exactly built to last - thin-walled metal tubing, threads that look like they could strip easily, and the metal frame for the uplights bent once as I was trying to adjust it.In addition, since installation two of the round shades for the path lights have broken off their plastic housing through some incidental contact (once from a hose, another time from a snow shovel). Repaired relatively easily, but likely to break again in the future.The actual installation is fairly foolproof, but not eactly easy.The strange little threaded assembly they give you is actually tough to get a good connection with - I had to strip more of the wire from the lights than was provided, which is fine - if you have wire strippers.The little spike-things that are meant to sit like a saddle on top of the electrical wire were also tough to install. The "saddle" portion was a little too narrow for the insulated wire I was using, which made the threaded cap VERY tough to screw on. Since both parts were plastic, there was enough elasticity that I was able to get them all on, but I suspect that could be another failure point down the road, especially given our cold winters.In the end, I ended up using more traditional connections (ACE connectors, which require a torch to weather-proof them) that will probably last much longer than the lights.All that being said, for the money I was able to uplight two of my trees in the front yard and provide path lighting from my front sidewalk all the way back to my patio area in the back yard, for FAR less than I would have using a higher-end commercial light.I added a smart-plug in the transformer, and now they are controlled by my smart-phone, and they look fantastic.If you are comfortable doing some VERY basic electrical work (you don't even have to mess with a positive or negative line with low voltage like this) - I would highly recommend these; so long as you don't care if you have to replace a few over time.

This is the third set of lights I have ordered from this company and as you might expect I’m very happy with them. They are inexpensive but high quality, made of metal, not plastic. The “step” on the side of the lights makes it easy to get them firmly planted. Highly recommend

Could not have asked for a better look, Not difficult to set up, and durable. The black color is very elegant and the lights do exactly what they should and light up the walkway nicely.

The lights are well built. The connectors are good. The lights throw a good amount of light - exactly what was expected and the wire leads are a good length.
