I canr believe how expensive landscape lights are, even the ones that dont have a monster, inefficient transformer. I also would like a more evenly dispersed light which means more smaller ones. I plan on making my own.
saw polished stainless steel 1 1/4" drain pipes that would make good housings and small xenon or halogen 30 watt bulbes that would work nicely. Want to keep everything ac with a gfci.
tubes cut these in thirds

leds? Sealed for Reliability-
This kind of led bulbs are fully sealed with a front lens cover which is a great advantage over all other suppliers as most others have the leds exposed, the advantage here is they are not effected by the moisture, climate, water, salty air, etc.
