Hello. I was hoping that someone might be able to assist me. I recently just purchased 2 Thomas Kinkaide paintings. They are Holiday gathering and Disneyland 50th Anniversary. As you may already know, Thomas Kinkaide is known as the painter of light and many of his paintings are designed to be seen with multiple effects as long as you have the proper lighting. I would like to duplicate in my home, that same studio effect that brought me to buy both of these paintings. Can you please recommend the proper lighting distance etc for these 2 paintings? I will be more than happy to supply you with more details so I can determine the best lighting products to purchase. Thank you!
Congratulations on your purchase of two Thomas Kinkade works. I have always admired his works and particulars his use of light in the subject matter.
Most galleries use a strong halogen light source to showcase there art. Halogen has good color rendering and can be dimmed to get just the right level of light.
We have a couple of ART LIGHTING FIXTURES that may be of instructs to you.
HALO 1499RT/1420P ACCENT LIGHT
PHANTOM CONTOUR PROJECTOR
Both of these lights use a halogen source. Other than cost, the main difference is the ability to shape the light to fit the exact contour of the art without spill light on the wall. This will give you a lighted from within look that is just spectacular.

How deep are typical conduits that house the wires that provide power to these units when they are near grass, landscaping and trees that are 40 feet tall? Thanks
How deep you install the conduits is specified by the National Electrical Code. For schedule 40 PVC conduit and UF CABLE you must bury it a minimum of 18". For galvanized rigid conduit, you can go as shallow as 6" below the surface.
So if you are hand digging around tree roots it is must better to use the metal conduit. Much less stress to the trees and to the landscaping.

Can I mount my 250 W outdoor transformer in the garage, if it is connected to a GFCI receptacle? If not, why, and is there anything I can do to enclose it so it can be mounted in the garage?Thank you very much!
As long as you provide plenty of air space around the transformer for cooling, you should be fine. The issue is not the transformer it is how you get the wire from the garage to the landscape lighting.
LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING CABLE is not rated by the electrical code for installation through a wall without a conduit or pipe However, people do it all the time.

Do you have a diagram that shows the back of this light? I need to know how it will mount so I can determine if we can use it. Thanks!
We do not have a diagram or illustration of the back to send you. The HADCO SLRL2U is mounts directly to the wall with screws. It is not designed to cover a standard electrical junction box. Sine the fixture is low voltage, the wires are just spliced behind the fixture using wirenuts.
This is a great little step light because it produces very little glare from normal viewing angles. Have you see the FOCUS SL07 in brass? This is a very popular STEP LIGHT. If you are looking for something with a junction box, check out the FOCUS SL30.
Thanks for looking at out products. I hope that you find a suitable fixture and we can be of service. Everyone one here at Residential Landscape lighting thanks you for your patronage.

Hi, first of all thanks for all the useful information on your site, I have found it extremely helpful. I''m interested in lighting the base of an oak in my garden. Due to the situation of the tree I have to mount the light directly to the trunk. I have read on your ''ask the experts'' archive, that stainless steel screws are tree friendly and wont damage the tree in any way. Can you please confirm that this is correct as the tree has a tree preservation order (I'm based in the UK) and cannot be damaged. Thanks in advance.
I am pleased that you find our landscape information interesting and helpful. Thank you for your kind words
Anytime you mount a light fixture to a tree it is considered a risk. The stainless steel screws are the best to mount lights as they do not rust. Our TREE MOUNT KIT contains the bolts, nuts, mounting plate and back plate.
Depending on the limb structure of the tree you can use either a BULLET STYLE UP LIGHTS or a BOX STYLE UP LIGHT for more intensity and coverage. On the box flood you will want the 4-sided bug shield option for glare controls.
Thanks for contacting Residential Landscape Lighting & Design.

I currently design and install low volt landscape lighting. I am interested in installing line voltage systems, but I can't seem to find any books on the topic. I am a licensed electrician and I understand the NEC. What I am interested in is design, and the photometrics of mercury vapor, metal halide etc. landscape lighting products. Thanks
There are several books at Barnes and Nobles that I have seen on exterior landscape lighting. I learned myself by the old fashion way; making mistakes. In no time, you become an expert on the subject.
I personally prefer MERCURY VAPOR LIGHTING FIXTURES for moonlighting or up lighting specimen trees.
For down lighting, here are my rules:
Under 20' high go with a 50 WATT DOWN LIGHT
20 to 30' high go with a 100 WATT DOWN LIGHT
30 to 40' high go with a 175 WATT DOWN LIGHT
For up lighting, use the same rules:
Under 20' high go with a 50 WATT UP LIGHT
20 to 30' high go with a 100 WATT UP LIGHT
30 to 40' high go with a 175 WATT UP LIGHT
For large Palm trees I like to use the 175 WATT METAL HALIDE UP LIGHT with the spot lamp and hub mount option.
We are glad to help you design and specify LANDSCAPE LIGHTING EQUIPMENT for your jobs as a courtesy to you. You should buy a few different lights and experiment in your own yard. Landscape lighting is an art form, not a science. Landscape lighting is fun and very rewarding!

First of all you are looking at a
MECHANICAL TIME CLOCK and not a
LOW VOLTAGE TRANSFORMER WITH A BUILT IN TIMER.
To operate a low voltage lighting system you need a low voltage or 12 volt transformer. The timer just turns it on and off.
How far you can you run the lights depends on the wire size and the total wattage of the lights. I would suggest that you take a look at our DESIGNING LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING information page for a complete overview.
For your convenience, we have assembled LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING KITS IN A BOX for just about any size job. They are easy to install and will give you years of nighttime enjoyment.

The most common way to override the motion detector is to turn the switch on and off several times rapidly. This should put the
MOTION DETECTOR in the manual mode. Fine tuning and adjusting motion detectors can be kind of tricky sometimes. Once you get them adjusted they are very reliable.

I need to know if I install a RAB MH floodlight on the ground shining up will it provide enough light to illuminate a 22'' high Palm tree?
Yes, this LUMARK METAL HALIDE FIXTURE can illuminate your Palm tree. However, it will produce a tremendous amount of glare. You should consider using a METAL HALIDE BULLET STYLE UP LIGHT which has more control and a better beam pattern for landscape lighting. Specify the hub mount cover for easy mounting or remote the ballast box up to 20 feet away for a cleaner look.

I HAVE 6 KICHLER 35W SPOT LIGHTS AND 20 11W PATH LIGHTS WHAT SIZE TRANSFORMER DO I NEED AND DO I NEED DUAL TERMINALS? I HAVE A TOTAL OF AROUND 150 FEET OF WIRE TO RUN . ALSO WHAT GAGE WIRE SHOULD I USE AND DO YOU SELL THE TRANSFORMER I WOULD NEED THAT COMES WITH A TIMER? THANKS!!! P.S. ON THE SPOT LIGHTS (KICHLER)IT STATES ON THE BOX 300 WATT MAXIMUM TRANSFORMER (25 AMP)
You will need a 600-WATT TRANSFORMER to run your Kichler lighting system. We do have many transformers with timers for you to choose from. The TECHLIGHT LVE600MT is the least expensive we have posted. Please take a look at our DESIGNING LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING SYSTEM PAGE for wiring illustrations.
OK, let's do the math on your lighting system.
35w x 6 = 210 watts
11w x 20 = 220 watts
That's a total wattage of 430 watts and a total amperage of 36 amps.
You will need to split that up into two home runs using 12/2 DIRECT BURIAL CABLE back to the transformer not exceeding 215 watts per run or 18 amps per wire.

I have track lighting in my kitchen. About three or four days ago, they started to have problems. After being on for 10-15 minutes, they will turn themselves off for a second, then come back on, and on occasion, they will stay off even longer. The light switch is always in the on position, and there is only one switch. I have a Lightech Let 151 transformer, and I''m pretty sure I can hear it buzzing when the lights come back on. I''VA already tried changing the light switch, to no avail. Is this a problem with the transformer?
Transformers have thermal protector devices built into them to prevent overheating. So when they overheat they switch off and when they cool they turn back on.
I would check the wattage of your light bulbs to see that you have not exceeded the capacity of the transformer. This would certainly cause the problem.

I'm a journeyman electrician, and I've seen/replaced plenty dimmer switches which have shorted out, worn out, smoked, etc. - My experience is that the slide-switch goes out more rapidly than the rheostat-turning dial one. My teachers in Israel said that it''s best to turn the dimmer switch down, then off, for the dial-switch, but at that time there was no slide dimmer-switch. Here, in my apprenticeship I never heard mention of the problem, but I replaced lots of them during this apprenticeship, too. What's your take on slide vs rotor switches, and is there a more safe way for turning them off? Is there a liquid switch for dimming which is safer and less likely to burn up? Thanks for whatever advice and information you can give me! Sincerely
I have not heard of problems like that with slide or rotary DIMMER CONTROLS. Most dimmer switch failures occur due to exceeding the capacity of the dimmer, not matching the load to the type of dimmer or overheating due to failure to DERATE DIMMERS when ganged with others.
LUTRON DIMMER SWITCHES are some of the finest dimmer controls on the market. They make devices for just about every application and load type.

I just received my order of ten focus brass hanging cylinder lights. I intend to hang them from trees going up an 80 step staircase to the house. I assumed the lights would come with directions. Could you send me information or direct me to a website on how to install the lights (connect them to a common wire/timer etc)? Thank you.
Thank you for your recent order and I will most certainly assist you in the best way to install your new FOCUS LANDSCAPE LIGHTING FIXTURES.
Low voltage lighting is really quite easy to design and install if you know the basics. Check out our information pages listed below for helpful tips and recommendations:
HOW TO DESIGN 12 VOLT LIGHTING Part #1
HOW TO DESIGN 12 VOLT LIGHTING Part #2
CALCULATING VOLTAGE DROP
The low voltage lighting system starts with a LIGHTING TRANSFORMER. The transformer should be centrally located in the system and wiring should be done as per the instructions in the above links.
Keep the wire small, like 16/2 from the HANGING LIGHT FIXTURES back to the tree limb and then increase the wire size to 12/2 or larger depending on the load and distance back to the transformer.
Sounds like a great project and a perfect application of low voltage hanging lights. Send us some pictures of the finished project and we will post them on our website www.rlldesign.com.

I was reviewing your wall pack conversion table and am not sure what it is telling me.The image appears to reflect the text on the left which states this is the foot candle array at 8'' height at a spacing of 6 to 1 and 2 mounting heights in front. How do I use the chart? It appears this is for the 50watt bulb and if I move the height up then my foot candle is the stated factor multiplied by the foot candles on the print. What about the text on the right for the 70Watt light? It mentions 3 heights in front, but the drawing only shows 2. Can you clarify for me. Thanks!
Thanks for the question. Rather than go through some long winded technical explanation on WALL PACKS, I think it would be better if you faxed a drawing of the area you are lighting. Send it to Jeremy's attention toll free at 877-272-0577.

Which type of bulb (fluorescent, halogen, incandescent) is best for a make up area with no natural light?
Actually, the best makeup lighting is a combination of all three light sources. Obviously, this would not be practical in your home. However, quality free standing make up mirrors have adjustable filters which shift the color of light to match the light source of choice.
Makeup should always be checked, and if possible even applied, under the lighting that similar to your environment. For example, if you are dressing for work, you may want to adjust your makeup to look good under a fluorescent lighting source. This consideration is particularly important with fluorescent light because these lights tend to be low in red light and high in green. Since normal skin tones contain a significant amount of green to start with, you may note obvious green skin tones under fluorescent light. The problem may be compounded if the makeup, itself, has green elements.
Position of the VANITY LIGHTS can be just important as the color of the light or makeup. Harsh shadows and the inability to see details on your face can distort how you apply your makeup. That is why makeup mirrors, used in combination with other light sources in the bathroom are always the best for frontal lighting and when you lack natural daylight.

I am planning to add ceiling fixtures to make an office from what was a formal living room. I need a LOT of lumens in my office so I want to use many fixtures. I want to know how to decide between line voltage and low voltage fixtures. How do the bulb life, color rendition, heat output, energy efficiency compare? Should I use individual transformers or a single transformer with multiple fixtures? The ceiling height is 8''.... how far apart should the fixtures be placed to provide uniform lighting?
I would suggest that you go with RECESSED DOWN LIGHTS in the ceiling for general lighting. LOW VOLTAGE RECESSED LIGHTS do have less glare and are really designed for illuminating objects, not people. Low voltage down lighting fixtures in pairs do work well for spotting over a desk.
Take a look at our HALO H&RT/410P with a 120-watt incandescent flood lamp. Without seeing your floorplan it's hard for me to make specific recommendations. However, if you want good uniform illumination space the lights about 8' apart in a grid. Used in combination with a DIMMER CONTROL SWITCH you will have excellent general lighting. You could also consider using fluorescent recessed lighting fixtures if heat is a problem.
Thanks for contacting Residential Landscape Lighting & Design for your lighting supplies. Feel free to call at 800-239-2939 should you need further assitance.

I have an older Toro power pack that is set up for a motion detector. We had a power outage for 8 hours and then once power came on, we then a power surge after that. My power pack is affected now. I can manually turn on my out door lights, on and off but my motion detector will not work. When I put it in test mode it works fine as the lights blink on and off when I walk out to the area its to pick up. But when I plug it into work mode they will not work and wont come on. So this tells me that my motion detector is fine but maybe my power pack took the hit when we had the surge as it was in work mode. I don't think I can buy Toro products any more. Can I change out the power back with something different and say with a different motion detector and still use my existing lights and can you refer where I can buy Toro outdoor products.
Sorry to here that your OUTDOOR LIGHTING SYSTEM took a hit. Unfortunately, we do not carry Toro lighting products. We do carry a full line of MOTION DETECTORS for 120 volt and 12 volt systems and LIGHTING TRANSFORMERS from companies as FOCUS, RAB, SEBCO, TECHLIGHT and many other name brand vendors.

On Model/Item No. FOC SL-06-WM, Low voltage Wall Mount Tulip Light... I see it is 12-25Watts. Is 2or3 of these lights at 25Watts ea. enough to light up a 4''x20''Wall Sign? If so, why are most other Gooseneck sign lights rated at 150Watts or more each? Would 25Watts be enough. My customer doesn''t want to spend alot of money, but wants to light up their sign I''m sceptacle of the low Wattage, but hope it would work to keep cost low.
The FOCUS SL-06-WM is a great little fixture and would work well on small signs. Because the light does not have a long arm extension the light spread is limited. This means you will need several fixtures in a row for uniformity.
You can keep the cost down by using the FOCUS INDUSTRIES light and get up to 20,000 hours on the lamp with the new xenon lamp option. In fact, this lamp is so new we have not posted it yet.
You might also consider using the FOCUS DL-15H WALL WASHER with an extended arm mount and xenon lamp.
Please contact customer service toll free at 800-239-2939 for assistance lighting your sign. Depending on the size of your sign, we can make a custom extension wand at a reasonable price. Give Jeremy a call for personal assistance.

I am building new home. Need to understand more about Lutron Radio Ra products. Is there a wired version? Who installs, electrician? Thanks!
LUTRON RADIO RA is a great product for new homes or especially for remodel applications. Basically, they are wall box dimmers that work by radio frequency to create a system. As a system you can create scenes, pathways of light, interface with the alarm system, control lights by an astronomical timer and many other features.
RadioRA, the world's first radio frequency lighting control system, uses innovative communication technology and built-in safeguards to ensure reliable wireless communication between all system components. RadioRA can be installed in any home-- including existing homes, late-stage construction, and new homes - without rewiring.
In your case, since you are building, you might also look at the LUTRON GRAFIK EYE SYSTEM as well. You can learn more about LUTRON RADIO RA or GRAFIK EYE by visiting the LUTRON WEBSITE.

Currently we have the halogen "button" (?) lights and do not like them at all. They get very hot, they sporadically fall down (the lense or the cover will just fall at times), and the wires are visible. They used to have sets at Home Depot that required a transformer out of sight and now they just plug into the nearest plug. Very unsightly and plain ugly. What is a good undercabinet lighting where the cords are out of sight and the heat is not so great? Can xenon do the trick?
Sounds like you are ready to move up to some safe, reliable UNDERCABINET LIGHTING.
We carry some very nice task lighting fixtures from AMERICAN LIGHTING that are well made and reasonably priced. The XENON UNDERCABINET LXC SERIES LIGHTS and HALOGEN LHC UNDERCABINET LIGHTS work off of 120-volts and do not require a transformer. They are small, in stock, effective and easy to install task lights.
So, I would suggest that you look carefully at the undercabinet lights from American Lighting. You can get them in stainless steel to match any metals accents you might have in the kitchen.

I want to light a 160''w X 280''L roping arena (at home). What do you suggest for placement and number of lights? I was thinking 4 (400w) on each side and one at the roping box end. Also, would 100 amp service be enough?
You will need six poles with twelve lights with forward throw optics to properly illuminate this size arena. You will be better off using 1000-watt fixtures and spacing the 25' to 30' poles roughly 70' on center. I know that sounds like a lot of lights, but you have a big arena and a lot of area to cover.
The 100-amp panel you have is more than adequate to handle 12,000 watts of light. If you hook them up at 220-volts that is only 55-amps of load total. So, if you hook up two poles per circuit, that is only three 20-amp double pole circuits.

Hi, I installed this timer for an outdoor light and set it for on at 7PM and off at 7AM. The timer only works if I manually turn it on then it works till 7AM and turns the light off but it stops working unless I manually turn it on. Can you tell me what possibly could be wrong?Thanks.
Some TIMECLOCKS such as Malibu transformers have plastic gears that can strip causing the timer not to function. Another explanation may be that you failed to connect a constant hot to the clock motor and it is not keeping time. Both of these are common problems with timer installations.

Can I get info on the installation of this Edwards door jamb switch? When and how do I wire them during new construction?
The EDWARDS DOOR JAMB SWITCH simply replaces the switch on the wall. It goes into the door jamb on the hindge side, so the plunger is depressed when the door closes. It can be installed high or low on the door jamb as the location does not matter.
Your carpenter will need to chisel in the switch for you and only the wires get stubed out until then. Use a 14/2 Romex® from the switch location to the light fixture. The jamb switch simple breaks the hot wire when depressed turning off the lights.

Is there some "rule of thumb" for hanging a pendant fixture over a kitchen table? What is the preferred distance from the surface of the table?
BREAKFAST ROOM PENDANTS provide a main design element in the décor of your dining area and breakfast room. The minimum diameter of the chandelier should be about half the width of your table. For rooms with
an 8-foot ceiling, hang the chandelier so the bottom of the fixture is 30-32 inches above the tabletop.

The PANASONIC WHISPERLITE is not designed for specifically for kitchen applications where heat is involved over a stove or oven.

I have a Tork Model 1104 and my water heater had a failure, element. I replaced it but now the Tork timer is overriding my power. I can''t get it to work with the timer. I have no idea how your timer works it was in the house when I bought it. Can you advise how I can override your unit to get power to my water heater. Cold showers are killing me. Thank you in advance for any advice you can lend me. Desperatley needing your assistance.
The easiest way to override your TORK TIMER is to remove the TORK TRIPPERS and leave the manual switch in the on position.
The idea behind the timeclock on the water heater is of course, is energy saving. If set up properly, the heater should turn off at preset times such as midnight to five in the morning or while you are at work. It's also a good idea to turn off the water heater when going on vacation.
Hope that helps and you can start enjoying a nice hot shower again.

Hi, I have a loft space with 2 rows of halogen tracking lighting (8 lights total, guessing about 20W each). There are currently two switches located in different parts of the loft and I'd like to add dimmer functionality to one of them. It should not hum, etc.. and be generally high quality. Is this the Lutron DVELV a good choice? One switch I'd like to change out for a dimmer is behind a wall plate with two other switched (3 total). I haven't removed the wall plate but I'm assuming the switches are 3 discrete boxes and can be removed seperately. Is this a reasonable assumption or should I simply remove the wall plate and look before ordering? Thanks
Lutron is the world leader in wallbox and architectural dimming systems. The LUTRON DVELV DIMMER SWITCH is a high quality dimmer control designed for use with electonic transformers. If you have a magnetic transformer you should use a LUTRON DVLV DIMMER SWITCH with comes in 600 watt and 1000 watt models. The electronic control is only designed for 300 watts.
All Lutron wall box dimmer controls are designed to be ganged in a stardard box like the three gang you have. However, you must DERATE the dimmer by 20% if they are installed side by side with the cooling fins broken off. Click the derate link to view a chart on ganging dimmer controls. You might also look at the custom SCREWLESS CLARO SWITCH PLATES that Lutron sells.

What type of flood light or voltage would be best to use? also what would be the correct placement, should the flood light be pointing straight up or a certain angle if we are trying to accent the house?
Check out one of our PRE-PACKAGED OUTDOOR LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING SYSTEMS for up lighting your home. Sometimes low voltage lighting gets a bad rap. You will be amazed at how bright a 20 watt MR16 light is when you see them for yourself. I only suggest going to 35 watt or 50 watt if you have lots of spill light from adjacent parking lots or roadway lighting. For 90% of landscape lighting jobs the 20 watt lamp is more than sufficient.
If your house is brick or stone you may want to mount the lights close to the slab to graze the surface. This will show of the texture and create attractive shadows which show depth, texture and form. You can also move the lights out into the shrubs and cast attractive shadows from the plant material for a different look. Every home is different, so I suggest you perform a test to see which method you like before installing the lights.

Hello, I just a built a new home. An outdoor lighting package was an option but I chose not to take it figuring a builder's markup was in the price. After closing, I had a local company and they gave a me a
quote of $3300 for about 16 lights (same price as builder). I am thinking I can do this myself. If I want to use 12v well lights (that's what the local company was going to use) to wash the walls of house-how far away from the wall should they be installed? I think I remember him saying about 6" but I am not sure.Thanks!
Mounting the lights about six inches sounds close to me. I would test with one of the lights before installing your LANDSCAPE LIGHTING KIT to see what looks the best. If you want to show off the detail on stone or brick, go close to the house. If you want some shadows cast on the house, install the lighting in the foliage.
GRADE LEVEL UP LIGHTS used without a lens or rock guard in a flower bed is not the best idea. Dirt, leaves and other debris collect inside the housing which blocks the light. I like the FOCUS SL03 WELL LIGHT if you decide to go with a grade level up light. We have a full selection of LOW VOLTAGE OUTDOOR LIGHT KITS, some up to 12 fixtures, for less than $1,200.
