Lighting It Up

Installed the Malibu walkway lights and garden spots. The 15 lamp kit was half price at Home Depot. With 10 walk lights it was just enough to do the long front walk if relying on the porch light and garden spots for the last few feet.

Watch out for the stakes on these, the posts and parts of the housing are metal but if you push them in from the lamp at the top you will break the post and the plastic lamp diffuser. These are really very fragile despite what is implied by looks. The spots are more rugged but again the stakes are plastic. Replacements are not readily available but a drip line stake can be used as a replacement.

The spots were used to throw shadows of the elephant ears on the blank walls so the lighting effect is more than just the plant.
