On a Malibu low wattage string of 6, the connector punctures the cable and the two wires clip into a small plastic part. The bulb fits into the other end of this plastic part.What is this plastic part called and where can I buy them? Thanks
I am not aware of replacement parts for Malibu lighting fixtures. Perhaps you can contact MALIBU LIGHTING directly for assistance.
We have a great selection of LANDSCAPE LIGHTING PRODUCTS and some COMMERCIAL LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING KITS. Perhaps you can find something that will work for you.
Thanks for contacting Residential Landscape Lighting & Design for your question. Come back and see us aging in the near future.

the house I live in has Malibu lighting going all the way around the house up close. the one transformer I have went out but the other one is fine. how do I find a transformer that can handle the length of the lights? they don''t ever say so what is the average distance will a transformer go before the lights fade in power?
Check out our "HOW TO DESIGN A 12 VOLT LIGHTING SYSTEM" page for helpful information regarding sizing low voltage wires and transformers. You must also be aware of VOLTAGE DROP issues when you purchase your new TRANSFORMER.

I installed a 100 watt Malibu system and tried to test it with a couple lights. I only got dim light out of the first fixture and nothing from the second. The total length of my set-up is about 160 feet. I have a 300 watt transformer.
I would check the output voltage from the transformer to see that it is producing at least 11.5 volts. If that is fine, I would check each light directly to the transformer to see that they perform equally. If that passes the test, the problem is with your wire. It should be a minimum of 12/2 CABLE with two feeds running back to the transformer. Put 40-watts on the long run and 60-watts on the short run. Please check out our OUTDOOR LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING products should you need lighting fixtures, lighting wire or a replacement transformer. Check out our DESIGNING A LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING SYSTEM page for more helpful information. Thanks for the question!
