Volt amps is what we engineer system builds against not wattage. Manufacturers have specification sheets that list a fixture's particular VA draw, and believe it or not one 4w manufacturer can draw a different VA than another 4w manufacturer.
We use a variety of commercial grade brands such as Sterling, Gardenlightled, Haven, Clarolux, and so on. It is project dependent so the site will dictate which fixture type and specification is best suited. Reach out to us if you need more info!
Hello, do you have the gardenlightled light boards (ZZE20066) available for sale? I am after a couple of light boards as I have one of three out. Thank you
Fail : at 5:27 he says 4 watts in one fixture will pull less power than another 4 watt fixture. Just wrong. Watts are a measure of power, 4 watts always = 4 watts. Saved me watching the remaining 9 minutes, since the "formal training" must not have been very good to make the previous statement.
I was referring to the volt amps the fixtures use- this particular integrated fixture draws less volt amps than the drop-in, while both may be listed as the same wattage rating. When we engineer the capacity of lighting systems we calculate the actual volt amps used, not wattage.
It would be great if you showed some examples of light effects.
Thanks I will try to create a video for that soon !
Very informative and to the point. Thank you!
I agree that DIY folks should go with drop ins.
Is it better to have drop in or integrated? Which have less problems? Which do u preferably buy for a new whole house system? Thanks!
For homeowners DIY, go with drop ins! Less learn curve and landscape box stores carry many parts locally
4 watts is 4 watts any way you shake it. Not sure how you can say one 4 watt fixture is more efficient than another 4 watt fixture.

Where can I get light boards for BK lighting? I want to change from 4000k to 2700 or 3000k
I am not familiar with BK, I would contact them directly
What brands of lighting do you use ?

Some other brands that might be affordable is Lumien, Elitco. Might be a little more budget friendly. But the ones they suggested are good too.

Hi Keith, try contacting gardenlight first to see if they will send - if not feel free to email me getinspiredoutdoors@gmail.com

I mentioned volt 'pulls' would be less I meant to say volt amps, which draw less power using an integrated fixture in that example
Man i been trained when i was 10 i ysed to be 10 now im 15 and i built my self a low voltage system
Wrong, watts used are watts used, we are charged for power by the watt
Voltage and amperage factor watts
