I almost was leery about the purchase when I read some reviews saying that they were dim. My guess is those people underpowered the lights and got substantial voltage drop and/or used too small gauge wire. my lights bright. prob about 25% brighter than I would like. One of my light runs was 160 feet. and had 85 watts of lights attached to it (I plan add to length and # of lights). All the lights were equally bright from one end to the other. For what you can see in the pictures I used 12/2 landscape cable and 200 watt transformers; we connected to 13v tap. What saved me was that I went on line and just typed in "Landscape lighting calculator". I found a calculator at at vista pro . It told me (based on total wattage and length of cable run) the cable gauge needed, the transformer size needed (I did notice that it never suggest that I use anything less than 200 watts. even when I plugged smaller numbers in to the calculator). Because I am a control freak I will be installing three transformers (two 200watts and one 300watts because I want different light zones - I found great on transformers at my local big box store that may start with an "H" for $69 (200w) and $99 (300w) that were rated almost 5 stars .Here are my pics of my project.Cheers!
