Dave, they are made by Orbit Industries and I got them from USALight.com Available in green or black, although USALight.com is showing out of stock on the green versions right now. Might be able to get them elsewhere.

They come with a 20w incandescent bulb, which I swapped out for an LED (MR16 style) which I obtained on eBay along with that little bracket which spins onto the 1/2" nipple on the bottom of the light fixture where the stake normally attaches.

And yes...that's the side of the tree facing the house....

HTH!

Retirement rocketh greatly!
We saw one bear, two deer, heard and saw loons, an Osprey tons of water fowl and one frightening (and/or frightened) frog.
The frog was cool.

Look great. I think black would look better for blending in.

Dave, I buy all our outdoor lighting from an online store called Volt. They make a quality light at a third of the cost of what the big name company's are asking. Solid, no junk like home depot specials.

Thanks guys. I actually searched for "pvc low voltage led" and got to the Volt site - nice stuff, and pretty good prices too. I just assumed Baz' were LED - now I know why I couldn't find them.

I have been playing with lighting for several months. I have quite a few of the staked-in-the-ground 5 watt LED's (some of which are too hot), and have been putting a few up in the canopies - to varying degrees of success.

What I don't like are the connectors - they are good, but large and bulky.

Here are some first-attempt shots - canopy shots tonight

Hey Dave, may I suggest a few path lights inside the plants just to balance out the lighting a little. Just a few in between the up lights or a few coming off the wall at about 18-24" off the ground. Something very faint.

Very nice!

YESSS Thank you. A little more light but not harsh. I like that.

Question - when you say "coming off the wall" do you mean mounted to the wall, or light shining on the wall?

ps I apologize for the poor photo quality - I've got to learn how to take these kind of photos.

Here a few from last night:


These are trying to show uplights placed up in the canopy of two camphors. I like this effect.

This is the whole shot. The lower "plant" lights are only 4W LED's but they were the lowest I could get at Lowes at the time.

This shot shows some LED "well" lights I was trying - they are buried in the lawn. They don't do much for that carrot-wood tree, and they violate the "don't let the source of the light be visible" so I am planning to take them out.

For the carrot-wood I had previously tried:
- lights in the canopy, but the foliage was too dense
- a regular tree-trunk up light, but it wasn't very dramatic and I chose too hot of a LED.
