My search started with solar Powered lights. After reading reviews, I concluded that majority of customers are not happy with charging issues etc. So I drop the idea of Solar Powered and narrowed down my search to GL22788BK for wired lights category. I read commentes that people replaced LED bulb in GL22788BK. I asked question myself why does not "Paradise" make LED lights. I looked into their website and found GL33869BK with LED light bulb. I ordered 16 LED lights (GL33869BK) for my project and happy with purchase.

PROS:

Light is bright; no one can tell difference if it is LED light or regular bulb when light is lit in night

Color temperature is 3000K (soft yellowish). I was afraid that LED means white light only.

Light post and Light ceiling cover is made of Cast Aluminium means durable

very easy to assemble and no need to peel or cut the wire while connecting to main feeding circuit. It has snap on connector. Just snap anywhere to main low voltage landscaping wire. This is like a charm.

it consumes 0.75 Watt. That means huge saving in electricity.

CONS

Light cover is made of plastic. it could have been made of glass. But it is OK for me.

Part of the Light that goes into underground is made of plastic. Not sure why manfuacturers decided to choose plastic.

In rain, it is water-tight. However grass sprinkler sits at low height in comparioson to light and throws water from bottom to top. In that case, there are chances that water can go inside the light if light is too close to Sprinkler. I found a solution. I wrapped the top portion of plastic lens with food wrap plastic and then put the light cover to make it water tight.

Overall I am happy with purchase. Lights are really beautiful, easy to install, consumes little energy (0.75W). Last but not least I purchased the Power pack GL22730 and cable GL22132 to complete my project.

It was what I wanted, had no problem installing and would recommend it to anyone who wants landscape lighting without having to deal with batteries or frequently burned out lights.
