This Hampton Bay Low Voltage 10-Watt Equivalent Path Light with Crackle Glass shines brightly and is long lasting. The light quality is similar to halogen, but uses over 80% less energy. It has a rated life of 50,000-hour and is virtually maintenance free, with no bulbs to change. The aluminum construction, powder coat finish and weatherproof electronics ensure years of trouble-free use. The finish is hand painted for a timeless Oil Rubbed Bronze patina. There is a quick-install wire connector with a cleated heavy-duty stake, making it quick, easy and safe to install. Light is directed out and toward the ground through unique crackle glass for a softly diffused light to illuminate steps, pathways and smaller plants. It's also a good security feature.
