Review on LEONLITE 7 Inch LED Hardscape Lighting 8-Pack, Retaining Wall Lights, 12V Paver Light Low Voltage Landscape Lighting 1.5W Outdoor Step Lights 2700K Soft White ETL Certified by David May

Hardscape light perfect for retaining wall accent and path illumination

I installed 16 of these 14 inch outdoor hardscape lights on a retaining wall made of blocks. Each light has two LED's and provides soft light that splashes down on the retaining wall. These lights are bright but not overly glaring. The glare shield directs the light downward, not into your eyes. The leads are 9 ft long and the ends are stripped and tinned, which makes installation a breeze, and there are two waterproof wire nuts supplied. The 0.5 Watt power draw is miniscule, and many lights can be placed on a single 12 Volt power source. Installed with 2/12 cable, using AizzKry "snap on" low voltage connectors instead of the supplied wirenuts, so that I would not have to cut and splice the feeder cable. The lights are permanently sealed to prevent moisture intrusion.I inserted the lights between the wall blocks and capstone, utilizing the ample metal flange on the lights. Alternatively, there is hardware supplied to install the lights with screws, if you want to drill holes in the capstone. The metal flange can be trimmed.The attached photos show the day, evening and night pictures of how the light shines, however due to contrast problems the lights appear to be overly bright in the pictures; but does show the approximate cone of light cast. The light is actually much dimmer and illuminates the area to several feet in low level lighting.
