I’ve been installing landscape lighting for almost 20 years and can’t uderstand why people see value in LED & Solar lights. It’s like the electric car – great in theory but proformance leaves alot to be desired. Fireflies in a jar, Fireflies in a jar.

Depends on your need for landscape lighting.
I find MOST bright landscape lighting unnecessary & garish. I find the soft subtle solar lights are perfect for most garden uses.
Remeber it is a garden – not the Las Vegas strip!!!
LED – super efficient, the future of lighting. LED uses so little energy.
Solar, I suppose if you can find a quality solar cell. A regular incandescent bulb powered by a solar cell sucks.
To give you an example, solar panels on the house roof bring in only about 19% energy vs the energy brought in by a dam’s water turning it’s turbines bring in approx 90%.
Solar was popular in the mid 80’s and proved to not be very effective.
it depends on the solar light i have seen some that work vry good but they are expensive
better quetion is why do u install things u dont believe in??
I agree.. they leave alot to be desired. But when you do a demo of good nightscaping people freak about the cost.
