FAQ of Low Voltage Well Light
Where are well lights typically installed?
Well lights find their place in various outdoor settings:
- Pathway Lighting: Along walkways and paths, offering guidance and enhancing nighttime aesthetics.
- Accentuating Landscapes: Positioned to highlight trees, shrubs, or architectural features, adding depth and visual interest.
- Architectural Emphasis: Illuminating building exteriors, walls, or unique structures for a captivating facade.
- Garden Enhancements: Within garden beds or flowerbeds, casting a gentle glow to showcase plants and flowers.
- Outdoor Living Spaces: Around patios, decks, or seating areas, creating a welcoming atmosphere for gatherings and relaxation.
- Near Water Features: Placed near ponds, fountains, or waterfalls, enhancing their beauty and creating mesmerizing reflections.
With their versatility, well lights elevate outdoor spaces, providing both practical illumination and aesthetic enhancement.
Do the well lights come with a plug?
No, the lights do not include a plug. They are 12V low voltage and need to be hardwired into a low voltage cable.
How do I know how many well lights I need?
Determining the right number of well lights depends on various factors, including:
Light Fixture Spacing for Pathway Illumination: For bright and consistent pathway lighting, install well lights approximately every 6 to 8 feet along the path. This spacing ensures adequate illumination and minimizes dark spots, enhancing safety and aesthetics.
Consideration of Landscape Lighting Needs: In landscape lighting applications, the number of well lights required is based on the specific features you want to illuminate. Assess the quantity and arrangement of landscape elements—such as trees, shrubs, architectural structures, or focal points—to determine the appropriate number of lights needed for effective illumination.
Desired Lighting Effect: Consider the desired lighting effect you want to achieve. For a softly illuminated path or landscape feature, you may need fewer lights spaced farther apart. Conversely, for a brighter, more intense illumination, additional lights placed closer together may be
By analyzing these aspects, you can determine the optimal number of well lights needed to achieve your desired illumination and aesthetic goals. Experimenting with placements and adjusting as necessary will help fine-tune the lighting design for your outdoor space.
Does it include a transformer?
No, you need to purchase cables and a transformer separately. It is compatible with a 9-15V low-voltage transformer.
What size transformer should I choose?
Depends on the power of the transformer and the bulbs, while the electrical energy will inevitably lose 20% of the voltage during transmission.
For example, if the transformer is 150W and each bulb is 5W, then 24 fixtures can be installed (150 x 80% ÷ 5).
What type of light source do the well lights use?
The path lights use integrated LEDs with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours.
What is the warranty period for the well lights?
The well lights come with a 5-year warranty. Any quality issues within this period warrant a free replacement.
Can I install the well lights myself, or do I need a professional?
Our well lights are designed for easy installation. The wires come pre-wired, and we include quick connectors, allowing you to conveniently and quickly connect the lights to the main cable.
