IMO the "recommended" examples here are hideous. In much the way a little well-placed quiet lets us appreciate the music more, some night should be a part of night lighting. Turn off the glare and allow a little darkness in between lights!
Again, bashing solar lighting. He just doesn’t understand that there is a huge difference between the stand alone solar lights and setting up a powerful solar power source for all lights.

My transformers go out during storms how to stop replacing them. Help thanks
No bulb on a led. It’s a diode
So do the lights need to be wired in?
Wait. Blue and white lights don’t match?
Great advice on the color temperature. Can’t stand daylight (6500k) outdoor led lighting. Looks shrill and garish and is just painful to look at. 2700k to 3000k is what you want for a natural look.
Your pictures looks like they are overexposed on what you call “good lighting” and underexposed on what you call bad lighting. The color of the sky tells me the exposure was cranked up if those photos were taken at the same time of day. This detracts from your message even if you are correct on the types of lamps to use.
The thing that is a little bit annoying about this is that its really expensive like i dont got like 1m dollars i only got like 1000 in my bank probably
I have purchased random light sets and large transformers, Is there a service where I can share my landscape and get feedback on where to place what? I am very handy, but I don’t know what to use. Floods, spot, wall wash….. do you typically use 50w or 20w for trees? Thanks
3,000k minimum… got it. Cheers for the tip. 😉
The tips are great
If you highlight a tree in the middle of the yard do you have to dig up the grass across the yard all the way to the transformer? WOuldnt that ruin the grass?
I recommend you follow the dark sky movement and eliminate or reduce up lights period. Focus your business on safety path lights and subtle area lighting. Oh and “architectural lighting” is a bit more ego driven than landscape lighting.
Interested in the large Solar Spot Light. What Brand is it?
im doing a solar enchanted woodland theme with my small garden, im not a home owner and may not live here for rest of my life,so solar is ideal to put amongst flowers,shrubbery etc
Light YOUR property, not everyone else’s. No neighbor should be able to directly see your bulbs. Light pollution is selfish, rude, and illegal.
A second for dark sky-friendly landscape lighting. I’m designing my own because there are not enough professionals who care.
So follow everybody else or its a mistake. Got it👍
This was a very helpful intro! Thank you.
I just got led lights installed on my house and the lights are attracting thousands of bugs do I need to use a yellow led lights instead because the ones I have are bright white
Can I reset this system lights are stuck on blue and will not connect to blue please help
Please call them lamps. Not bulbs…
very informative and interesting video
Use low intensity solar LEDs. DO not use high intensity mains powered lights like these 1:27 because they disorientate creatures like moths who are very important nighttime pollinators. Don’t banish the night with these stupid light polluting landscape lighting ‘solution’.
0:08 good first try, ehh??
Thanks for the advice. I want to be able to remotely dim the lights…..what is your recommendation? Thank you.
Ready to do lighting low voltage style… but finding ideas for ranch home uplighting is hard to..
Trying to decide up lighting for house,landscaping.. flag pole and path lighting.
That was SO helpful, thank you!
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you
I enjoy watching your videos at 0.75x playback speed, makes it feel like i have a drinking buddy who is a professional lighting installer
A video I didn’t know I needed, Thanks! Very informative. Great video.
Maybe somebody can tell me: why is it that when I watch a video and somebody is pointing over their shoulder and referring to another video, it’s not there? Is this due to my adblocker or something like that? I get this all the time.
Great info, brother. Thanks!
Solar lights are not bad and depends on lumens and quality
Very nice . So kind of you
purchasing Kichler should be first on your list – garbage
Loved it, keep them coming!
really helped.have seen those mistakes often. THANK YOU.
Hello, looking for an LED strip light for tucking under the capstones of a retaining wall. There is a half inch overhang. Any affiliate link suggestions for strip / tape light options are appreciated. Subdued, warm white and not too many lumens – thanks!
You can buy different wattage of bulbs 5, 7 and 11 depending on what effect your looking for but remember Low Voltage Transformers have a max watt limit. So if you want ten 11 watt lights which is 110 watts and your transformer max is 100 watts that won’t work.
It’s so great to see a smart, articulate guy talk about his real area of knowledge. This is going to help me a lot – thank you!
Great tips
Thanks
We use to have all wired lighting in our landscaping. But the weedeating caused a problem. Wires got destroyed. So instead of doing it all over we just went we solar. Makes it so much easier. We went with just the amount of lighting we wanted. Not to low and not to bright. We like it.
Nicee
Great info
Hello, still doing lights?
Very helpful, thank you! All your videos are great. One question thou: my concrete porch extends approx 8’ from house and Is 40’ long of 60’ total length, and has double window, single door and another double window on porch. How can I set lights so windows/door doesn’t look washed out?
