DG Lights F.A.Q

Learn more about our LED fixtures and LED lightscaping

Time is Money - Fastest LED upgrade/service

Most of our fixtures use a patent pending LED holder by C-Socket. This noval design allows the LED module to be assembled and removed without mounting screws. Intergrated LED fixtures can be difficult and take minutes to upgrade or service -
Ours take less than 5 seconds.

External Driver

Our fixtures run coolest by locating the driver external to the fixture. Each LED fixture requires a driver and ours is molded into the power cable. The driver converts low voltage AC power to DC power for the LED. Both the LED and driver produce heat. By keeping them separated they operate at optimum temperature and performance.

Dimming

Our LED fixtures can be dimmed using magnetic transformer and dimmer. Dimming range for single LED fixtures is 30 to 100% and triple LED is 0 to 100%. Fixtures can be configured to work with many other dimming systems, contact your sales representative for more information.

Warm White Output

Conventional halogen fixtures provide a warm white light that brings out the beauty of the landscape. Our LED fixtures do the same. Using the latest in warm white LED technology to provide equivalent warm white as halogen.

Standard Transformers

Our LED fixtures can be powered by standard 12V and multi-tap 12-15Vac transformers. A large selection of transformers and accessories are available to the landscape lighting professional. The use of standard transformers allows our LED fixtures to be easily controlled by standard timers and photo cells.

Lens Maintenance

Conventional halogen fixtures project heat generated through the light beam. This produces very high lens temperatures causing water to evaporate quickly baking the leftover minerals to lens. The baked on mineral deposits are difficult to remove. LED fixtures have very low lens temperatures that do not bake minerals to lens. Cleaning is fast and easy, with just soap and water.

Wide Voltage Input Range

Our LED fixtures have a very wide 9-15V input range. This allows for longer runs and more flexibility when locating transformers.

Longer Distance Wire Runs

Lower wattage and wide voltage input equals greater run distances. Our modern LED fixtures allow you to cover more yard using less wattage.

Standard Fixture Wiring

Our fixtures are wired the same as conventional halogen fixtures. Just connect the fixture leads to the mainline. There is no polarity with low voltage systems, making the installers job even easier.

Safe and Reliable With Multi-tap Transformers

Multi-tap transformers provide voltages greater than 12volts. This is great for fine tuning conventional lighting but can be a problem with some halogen fixtures. If halogen bulbs start to burn out when using a multi-tap a potential for over heating can occur with some fixtures. This is because as the fixtures burn out the remaining receive the extra load. This can result with a remaining fixture receiving over 14volts!

This is not an issue with our LED fixtures.

More Central Locating of Transformers

Our fixtures allow for more flexible and central locating of transformers. Due to the LED fixtures lower wattage and greater voltage input range, transformers can be located at greater distances. This is a great benefit to the system designer.
