Adam- can you provide a link or more details on the Amazon bulbs you use? It would also be good to hear your opinions or recommendation for lumens depending on application. Thanks!

I believe you have to look at the outdoor temperatures that can affect the longevity of the bulbs.

Pretty sure the "professional" bulb is an EmeryAllen

Hello, why don't you use lamps with a gu10 socket? Could you explain the difference and which one do you consider more convenient?

“Professional” grade led bulbs can be purchased at ur local electric store or landscaping store such as site one. There is contractor grade and professional grade. The professional grade are more waterproof and have higher watts/lumens. They are more expensive but u get a better bulb with a longer life. Place dielectric grease on the bi-pin to help extend the life of the bulb socket since it makes it more waterproof

Why do you use volt? Why not use better fixtures? Like Vista or FX? I use Vista with integrated LEDs a lot in my installations, and FX if they have a bigger budget.

So, what is a 'high' CRI? At what point is it bad/ok/good? Is 80 a good CRI or an okay CRI? Does it go over 100?

100 is the highest. I've only seen them go in the 90s. 80 is pretty average. Anything below that would be really bad. If you get 90's, you've got a great bulb!

how to you figure the bulb will last 20 yrs, remember the driver can fail alot sooner rendering light out of service, is it because they say so, you havnt been in the trade long enough to know, i been installing these lights since they came out and never had to many past 4 to 5 yrs before the circuit in the driver part fails

I live in NE; if I purchase your “complete course” will it give me info on how to purchase the professional level light with the driver, dedicated light & virgin brass. I want to purchase/install my own system but only if I can get access to the quality that will last 20+ years.

I agree…I want to install a brand that will last 20+ years….what brand fixtures did u get and what brand bulbs? Thanks?

You can get 20-year fixtures but LEDs of any brands won't last that long. Usually if it's heavier it's better and you get what you pay for. I sell brilliance lamps & they only have five year warranties like most but I hardly ever get them back

I wish they would start coloring them green for those of us that have to put them in the grass 🙃

The problem with Adam is that he sounds like a volt commercial. Whenever he talks about other options out there he never gives you any information other than "you can only get it if your a professional installer" I find some of his videos valuable but a lot of them are really pointless.

It’s not the driver that kills the bulb it’s the heat that kills LED take it from electrician

Bro, "this" bulb is great doesn't help us. Thanks for the video, but links or at least brand names would be much more helpful.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to completely call you out on this video. The information is completely wrong and you're doing people a huge disservice by posting content like this. Every single LED must have a driver in order to work whether its internal or external. Period. LEDs actually use 5 volt DC in order to illuminate and it's the driver that handles the 12v payload from your transformer. Also, all of those lamps are pretty much the bottom of the barrel in quality and light output. Brilliance and FX make the best LEDs on the market hands down, why arent they mentioned? Also, most lamps have an IP rating of 61 to 65, I'm not sure which "engineer" is doing this testing, but these lamps would fail immediately.
