NEW LAMPS

We've just added two new lamps to our inventory, ideal for the conversion of 120 volt fixtures to 12 volt use. The 12 volt Torpedo decorative lamp has a standard medium base and is stocked in either 15 or 25 watt versions. Now when normally using 120 volt decorative fixtures on your 12 volt system you have a lamp available to compliment that fixture.


LED FIXTURES

Kim Lighting has just introduced a complete line of 12 volt LED fixtures. Kim has always been the landscape lighting industry benchmark for quality and these LED fixtures are no different. You can now get 14 of the most popular Kim Lighting fixtures in the LED version. Select from three different fixture materials and the five finishes available within the LED collection. The 5 watt LED circuit board used by Kim Lighting offers more than just great illumination and energy savings, it is replaceable. This option is unique to Kim Lighting and gives the designer/installer options most other manufacturers can't.



INSTALLATION TIP

When installing 12 volt LED rope lights be aware that the light emitted from the LEDs is projected in only one direction. This means that the installer must position the rope correctly in the mounting channel or on the surface so the LED is facing out or away. One way to insure this is to install each section while the lights are on. With the 12 volt power source the system is safe to work with and the installer will be able to correctly position the rope for maximum effect.

PERFECT PATH LIGHT

If you're searching for a copper path light that works as well as it looks, then the Hadco Lighting CUL series may be just what you need. These solid spun copper fixtures come in two styles and five different sizes that are sure to fit any application need. Utilizing a 20 watt bi-pin halogen lamp they offer extraordinary light output and the adjustable shade allows the light pattern to be controlled. This allows the designer to specify the fixture that best meets the surrounding plant material in regards to proportions. After installation these same fixtures allow the installer the ability to adjust the amount of coverage to create just the right effect needed for performance and aesthetics. You can find these fixtures in our newest mini-catalog called the Environmental Masters along with a complete collection of other brass and copper landscape lighting fixtures.
