LightMaster 86715C Outdoor Lighting Kit with 60W Controller (9 Piece)

I was one of the first people to have these lights as I’m local to Orbit and saw when they went on sale. Having used these lights in my yard for the past couple years, I’m glad to see they’re on amazon in a set, which comes out to be less expensive than buying them individually. The lights have been bulletproof and without any problems. I have about 25 lights (a mixture of spotlights and path lights) and they’ve been through two Rocky Mountain winters and High Desert summers. Needless to say, the weather hasn’t been able to do anything to them. The aluminum construction means they won’t rust and the LED’s are still shining as bright as the day I put them in. Not one light has failed.Wiring was easy, but you’ll need to take some time laying out your plan beforehand. This set includes laccase wire, which is a bonus because that stuff can be kind of expensive. Hopefully it’s not cheap stuff.Many of my lights are at least 100 feet from the timer, and with 12/2 wire don’t see any voltage drop or dimness. I’ve opened up a couple of the lights and they are, true to word, CREE lightbulbs. I’ve learned from some engineer friends that these are the industry leader in quality LED’s, so I should expect the advertised lifespan out of them.The controller is, whatever. Mine haven’t really had any problems, but the voltage is nothing special. With all my lights I use two timers, and if I decide to add more, which I’m probably going to do, I’ll need to get a third timer. I’ve defiantly thought about switching to a different brand for the increase in voltage and being able to get everything on one timer, but I can get these for a cheaper price for now, so no upgrade for the foreseeable future. I will say these timers certainly have more programming options that your typical run-of-the-mill timer. You can have multiple start times, rather than just one, and use a combination of start times with the light sensor. So you could have them come on at sundown, but have them go off at, say 11 PM. Then have them come on again in the early morning hours when it’s still dark and off an hour or two later. The cabinet has been outside for as long as the lights and no issues; it’s weatherproof. The motion sensor is also nice. Mine is installed but I only used it a season, and plan on moving it next year to a different location. It is sensitive, so keep that in mind when placing it.But overall, my big praise is for the lights. They compare every bit with higher quality brand. Not cheap, discount store options.

The lights are very well built and durable—but I like how they look best. I have added some pictures so you can see. I Don’t need or use the motion sensor as I want it lit up all night rather than when someone walks or drives by. It was very easy to program but then I ended up not using the program I set up because I have it set to the light/dark sensor so that it comes on at dusk and off in the morning. My power bill hasn't changed much because it’s LED. The spot lights are easy to adjust so the light focuses on what you want. The stakes are thick enough that it was hard to push them into the ground but I like them being heavy duty. I have had them up and running since spring 2015 without any issues. I have had a lot of compliments from my neighbors. Adding these outdoor lights to my house has really helped it stand out and give it the WOW factor.

We love our LightMaster Outdoor Lighting Kit! We've marked the pathway to our front door with some of the lights and we have the spotlights shining on the front of our home. It lights up the home beautifully! All of our neighbors can't stop talking about how nice it looks! The lights are of a good quality, seem to be durable and were easy to install. The clock functions flawlessly and was easy to program. In our original landscape plan, we were not planning on using landscape lighting, but a friend suggested this product and we're glad she did, because we love it!

The Lightmaster controller and lights were easy to install and added a nice touch to our landscaping. I installed 12 lights total across 2 zones, one zone for my front yard, one zone for the back yard. The timer is quite simple to program. I did not install the motion sensor yet, just have the lights timed to come on at certain times in the evening and shut off late at night. The only thing I have had to do with the lighting since installation is change the start time due to winter/summer light changes.
