 Score for the company rather than the light set Sep 04, 2007
By Carol
"kepela"
I got the kit and started putting it together when I realized I had several broken parts. I tried calling the company but never got a live person. There was a web address for missing or broken parts so I went to it, but it was just advertising and lists, no place to request parts. There was a place to email, so I did. I gave them the item number and the parts that were broken, my email address, phone number name etc. I never heard back from them. So, I contacted Amazon and then send a mailing label for me to return it. I haven't gotten my refund yet, but I don't expect any problems with Amazon, though I'm disappointed in Malibu Lighting.

 Big bang for the bucks Dec 05, 2006
By Kent Cook
I ordered these to replace a group of Malibu solar accent lights - the batteries had frozen and swollen over a couple of winters. New batteries would have cost more than this set of lights.
The assembly required 2 hours. The most difficult part for me was snapping the skirts on the tier lights, but I've had carpal and ulnar tunnel surgery on both wrists. Installation was another 4 hours - I buried the cable between the lights a couple of inches below grade.
The parts are light-weight, but NOT flimsy. I had no trouble with breakage and the hinges on the floodlights are sturdy. These are made from tough plastic. The instructions are adequate. I tested the fixtures with an Ohm meter during assembly (approx 3.4 - 3.6 Ohms) and found that inserting the bulbs sometimes pushed the connector lead down into the socket causing an open circuit - be sure the bulb connector leads are fully seated in the sockets. All of the lights in the assortment work fine. The line connectors CAN be removed without damage, but the lights should be tested before attaching to the line (with an Ohm meter or a 12V source) to avoid the issue and possible wear/damage (I'm clumsy) Concerning esthetics: I don't believe anyone could tell black plastic lights from black metal lights at 6 feet away. They look just like the solar lights I replaced, and do look quite good in the dark :).
My assortment was missing a package of 5 bulbs and one of the bulbs in the kit was smashed. I called the automated broken/replacement parts number found in the instruction sheet with some trepidation. The replacement parts arrived in less than two weeks, no fuss, no muss!
At less than $2.50 a light (not to mention the transformer/timer) this is a great deal for anyone who enjoys assembling a kit.

I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT!! Mar 31, 2007
By Susan
"Bubbasu"
I purchased this set of lights at our local LOWE"S Home Improvement Store. My set includes 14 Tier lights and 4 spot lights and the power pack. I paid $38.97 plus tax. I purchased them to replace solar lights , I was tired of buying replacemant batteries ( which are not cheap) and spiders love to get into the solar lights , thier webs interfere with the
lights ability to work properly.Also in the winter time solar lights are worthless!!They do not get enough sun to power them.
Assembly was a breeze , installation was simple and I like the timer feature.They look really nice and I was amazed at the amount of light they provide. I am very pleased with them and am considering getting another set to put around the patio area. I love the fact that they will come on even if the sun does not shine.

Great Value Sep 19, 2006
By I. McCoy
If you complained regarding this product, get a clue. It is a great value for $50. Yeah, it takes about an hour to assemble everything and it will take you a few hours to set up in your yard but if you invest the time, you WILL get great results.
It is what it is, if you think you are getting professional grade high voltage landscape lighting, you are not. If you want something durable, safe and good looking for a great price you are in the right place. Addtionally, parts for these lights are readily accessible at most major home improvement stores so that is HUGE plus.

 Worth $45. Works well. Jun 20, 2006
By vrdumbos
Paid about $45 shipped and got it installed in no time. Pretty simple installation. Would have loved a photo timer instead of the one that this unit comes with. So far it has been working without any problems. Could not find anything similar at lowes or home depot. When you look at the quality of workmanship etc.. it surely is worth what you pay.
