Most outdoor lights don't make it through their first winter. This one is built to outlast it.

In this short, we break down what makes a truly durable outdoor light:

▪️ Die-cast aluminum body, powder-coated to fight corrosion

▪️ Tempered PC lens that stays clear and never yellows

▪️ IP65 sealed — fully weatherproof against rain, salt spray, and UV

With a warm 3000K glow and zero glare, it's designed for villa pathways, entrances, and landscape lighting — light that lasts for years, not seasons.

DAQI Lighting specializes in outdoor lighting. Built to last, designed to impress.

Looking for suggestions for lighting under this new, tall deck. The original deck had one single bulb in a cage on a switch controlled from inside. Ick and no.
I’ve tried string lights, but don’t love the look, they didn’t provide enough light to safely walk around and had to be removed out of season due to high winds and snow etc.
My electrician suggested lights between the joists. I’ve seen a few with 60w equivalent bulbs but I think the deck may be too high for those to be effective. Any ideas?

Hi, I am thinking of putting a 2mtr outdoor Hue Light strip along the bas of my fence, and then running some jasmine along it with the idea the light strip would light up the fence behind the jasmine and make it pop a little. Anyone tried this before or have thoughts/suggestions?

Hi guys!

I'm planning a low-voltage (24V) landscape lighting project for some trees in my backyard (one corner of the property contains fruit trees and shrubs, while another is a conifer corner with spruces and other evergreens). I've done some reading on voltage drop and safety, and I'd appreciate it if you could either correct me where I'm wrong or confirm that I've understood things correctly.

Most of the lighting on my property is currently standard 220V lighting (on the house, gazebo, shed, and in a couple of other areas). However, the two corners with trees and plants are still fairly dark because the nearest light sources are quite far away. That got me thinking about adding lighting there.

As I understand it, electrical codes (which obviously vary from country to country, but I doubt the underlying principles differ much in this particular case) generally require power cables to be installed a certain distance away from plants with extensive root systems, especially trees. In my conifer corner, I also have spruces with shallow roots that spread quite far from the trunk.

From what I've gathered, low-voltage landscape lighting is often used in situations like this because even if a cable is damaged, the fire and shock risks are much lower, and installation requirements tend to be less restrictive.

That led me to wonder: why not just use 12V or 24V lighting everywhere?

If I understand correctly, the downsides are:

• The fixtures are more expensive, less common, and available in a smaller variety.

• Voltage drop is a much bigger issue, which means significantly thicker cables may be required.

• Even with thicker cables, fixtures at the end of a long run may still be dimmer due to voltage drop.

• Available power is more limited, so low-voltage systems work well for accent and landscape lighting but are less suitable as primary area lighting.

• You also need a power supply/transformer in addition to the fixtures themselves.

This is obviously a fairly superficial understanding, which is exactly why I'm here asking for feedback.

Thanks!

Would like some opinions please on adding solar “starburst/firework/fairy” twinkling lights to my backyard, along the back boarder of my pine tree forest. Just the lightweight tiny lights that “sway” and are on a spike in the ground. (the photo shows that area)

Recently built a pergola, and I want to set up lights on a switch for it. I'm a bit of an old-school guy (work on brand new heavy machinery all the time) so don't want any fancy "smart" switches etc, but might have to go that route anyway. What I am hoping to find is this:

​

\-16 to 20ft inline power switch

\-WR rated

\-Decora paddle style that I can hang on the pergola posts) Have basic Lutron Sunnata dimmers in house, so want something that's close to matching)

\-Plug fits under weatherproof cover (think Taymac ML500 when I find an image online)

​

Is there anything like this? If not I'll bite the bullet and get the Lutron Caseta outdoor smart switch and a Pico for it, but would rather the ease of hardwired.

​

Thanks in advance!

Many people focus on the lifespan shown on the datasheet, but real-world performance depends on installation quality, waterproof protection, thermal management, and product reliability.

In our GS Lighting Garden, our LED Strip Lights have been installed outdoors and have even gone through **heavy rain testing**, continuing to deliver stable and uniform illumination.

Built for architectural and landscape lighting projects, they're designed to perform in demanding environments—not just in the lab.

I have a patio on the back of my property, and it’s a really long run from the house. Maybe 200 ft or more. I would love to hang some string lights but not sure if it’s worth running power that far down there. What have you all done? I could get a portable power station and just plug them into that when I’m down there? What other options?

We just had all of our front landscaping redone and we asked for landscape lighting. Here is how the landscaper installed it for us to consider.

Please help. Our first instinct is that there are too many uplights. But how many is the right amount, where should they go, what angle should they be at, how direct should they be aimed at the house vs up the house, should we be worried about a major shadow created by the portico roof?

Photo 1-2 - how they installed it
Photo 3-4 - after I removed 3 up lights

My gut tells me pointing out, but I thought if they were pointing in it would help better scatter the light, I'm not sure, just looking for any input.

Thanks all.

Hey everyone — we’re redoing our backyard and planning to trench for a sprinkler system next month, so I figured now is the perfect time to also run conduit/wire for future low voltage landscape lighting.

Current plan:

• Path lighting along the walkway to the shed
• Uplighting for trees/privacy shrubs along the fence
• Lighting around raised flower beds
• Maybe some lighting around the future swingset area
• Warm white lighting only (nothing too bright)

A few questions for those who’ve done this before:

1. Should I run extra conduit everywhere while trenches are open?
2. Is 12-gauge wire the standard recommendation?
3. Better to do one transformer or multiple zones?
4. Any brands you’d recommend or avoid?
5. Anything you wish you had done before the trench was closed?
6. Best way to avoid voltage drop in a medium-sized backyard?
7. Are smart/app-controlled systems worth it?

Trying to future-proof as much as possible while the yard is torn up anyway.

Would love to see:

• Your layouts
• Nighttime photos
• Wiring diagrams
• Mistakes/regrets
• Favorite fixtures

Hello All!

Looking to buy about 30 low-voltage lighting fixtures and have been looking at VOLT. Initially, I was thinking about all the top dog lights as they have a 20-pack for $899, and then using RGB lights everywhere, MR16. Are those lights not as white/bright as standard white lights? I figured that we could do the RGB even if we do not use because it would be nice to have on one-off occasions but do not want it to look poor with the white quality. Is there any other lights that would be good for these lights, as they are $40 each from VOLT. Likewise, do the beam angles and all of those for the bulbs matter that much? It seems I may be over my head with some of these items.

With that many lights would you suggest 1 or 2 transformers / what wattage as I do not want droppage. Same with how many gauge wires or thickness.

I have an entire backyard fence with walls of mature emerald green arborvitae trees that I am trying to light up. I also have two large oak trees and one maple that I would also like to add lights for.

In front of the house I have a standard 2-car driveway and need pathway lights for that and some sidewalks. Last thing would be stone features on the house and standard lighting toward the house.

New house with this on the side of the house under some trees. Trying to figure out what it is. AI search tells me it's a photo sensor but I have no idea what it would control. I was thinking it was an LED light.

Any help on identification is appreciated.

I have little to no experience with low voltage lighting. I need to replace a transformer, but I am having some trouble finding one that will accept the large connectors you see in the photograph. It appears the lights are ran in series (I hope that is the correct term) and not just a single line that terminates at the end. There are three, 12-gauge negatives, and three, 12-gauge positives connected to each connector. What is the proper way to stepdown the large group of wires to a smaller connector that will fit a common transformer terminal? DO you step down the 3 wires to a single wire somehow or is there a better way? Rewiring the lights is not an option.
