I had the inexpensive light sets you can buy at the home improvement stores and even the solar lights (they break easily and you can't get parts). But they don't look as good as some of the systems I've seen. I'm looking for quality landscape lighting that makes my house and landscape look good. Any suggestions?
Focus lighting makes some really cool landscape lights. Look them up on the web.

Try emailing Westinghouse, they should be able to direct you to a retailer that carries what you are seeking.
2 of my light bulbs to my landscape lighting broke one of the two prongs off in their respective sockets. when I pulled the bulb out, only one was still connected. This is a continous strand of 5 lights that runs under neath the concrete slab. Can I disassemble the socket some how, or do I need to replace the entire set?
can't pull it out with pliers since it broker out in the socket. The opening is barlely 1 mm wide.
Is it possible that you could just take a pair of needle-nosed pliers and just pull the pin out from the socket?
I'm using a Canon SLR 10D. I have a buddy who has a lighting landscaping company and he wanted to shoot some stuff for his website. I have an image stablizer on it and I set it to ISO 800 around 1 sec f4 and shooting with no flash. If I set it higher than that it becomes more blurry because some parts are dark and some are lit from the lights. Some of these places that I'm shooting isn't going to be great for a tripod. Would a IS still work in this case or try to go with the tripod?
You can pick early dusk where it will look and photograph dark, lights will be on and you will have enough ambient light to have a descent shutter speed. Also use a mono pod if you can not set up a full tripod.
I've had a Home Staging company ask if we would set up lighting in the fronts of homes for customers who are selling their homes. I was wondering if the realty community had any opinions on the value of quality landscape lighting. I'm not talking the store bought cheap fixtures - either solar or plastic light kits, but metal low voltage lights for the sidewalks, lighting for pillars and brick/stone face, along with any trees etc.
I am not a realtor but have bought and sold multiple homes. It doesn't really add much to me. I think the money could be spend better else where.
» Energy Efficient Windows Effect On Your Landscaping @ Green ...
Energy Efficient windows may be a great savings inside the home, but their effect on your landscaping can cause you just the opposite situation, as magnified rays are reflected from your windows directly onto vulnerable leaf tissue.
For several years I have observed the damage in turf grass and garden plants caused by the radiant heating that comes off of new energy efficient windows. In areas exposed to full summer sun for more than 8 hours a day, I have measured temperatures up to and exceeding 160 degrees beamed directly onto plant material. Plants that normally seem healthy fall through spring will begin to show leaf scorch, and die back to the ground. Areas around your house that were lush and green prior to your window installation now look dry and damaged through the hottest summer weather.
How To Discover If Damage Is Due To Energy Efficient Windows:
