Smile Landscape & Flood Lighting w/ Tranformer Installation Home Project Complete!

So I channeled my "inner Electrician" and installed and wired up this Transformer that powers our new outdoor landscape lighting! Had to drill into the bricks carefully to support the weight and position. While I was at it, I also removed the old metal tab a/c outlet with this clear enclosed a/c outlet and cover to plug into.


And after 3hrs of careful wiring and pinpoint mounting of the staked lights and flood lamps... Voila! Let There Be Light!!!

Thanks guys! @ Fundguy1, Malibu from The Home Depot.

FYI... They are all low energy (but very bright!) LED.

Nice one mate. I have two of the Malibu boxes, with around two dozen lights attached to it. They're in time for an overhaul since the lights are traditional, and I'd rather have something a bit more modern. But they are pretty easy to set up.

Looks great! I definitely need some lights in front of my house. However, there are always like 50 things I need to do!

Is the transformer powering the up lights on the brick work or only powering the lights in the landscaping?

Looks great! That's my first project next spring. I'd do it now, but we've gotten almost a foot of snow this week.

Thanks!
I feel you. Since I completed this last week right before Thanksgiving, this entire area has gotten 6-10in of non-stop rain! Talk about "perfect timing!"
