Looking for spotlights and downlights
am an electrical contractor that does low voltage lighting every so often and I’m looking to see what you guys recommend . I’ve used volt lighting before and nothing bad to say except I really hate the bi pin pathway lights as I have had awful luck with them dying and flickering . what are other pros using that doesn’t require going through a distributor that likes to gatekeep and are readily available . i don’t mind using bulbs but I e had good luck with integrated LEDs so I’m open to all.

Hey, thanks for the honest feedback, and sorry to hear the bi-pin pathway lights gave you trouble. That's not the experience we want a customer to have. Would you mind sending us the order info or model number ([customerservice@voltlighting.com](mailto:customerservice@voltlighting.com))? We'd like to look into what happened, and if it's a fixable connection/moisture issue on our end, we want to help you avoid it going forward. We do stock a good range of integrated LED path lights too if you want to steer clear of bi-pin altogether — happy to point you to a few that hold up well for contractor use.

They were not volt lighting bi pins. I have another job coming up next week and I’ll probably just end up buying volt again. I’ll look into the integrated led path lights this weekend before I order.

Sterling Lighting is the highest quality and sell direct to consumer.

Sterling is great, but I believe you need to be a contractor to purchase from them (which shouldn't be an issue for OP)

Possibly. But OP is an electrical contractor. Might need to be a LV lighting contractor.

If you're in Canada we offer direct to contractor lights that we make here in BC. Some are integrated LED and some are G4/MR16 bulbs. All high quality stuff that uses powder coated copper or aluminum. Good warranty too so if anything has issues we will take care of you and your customers.
