This Malibu Light is an architectural grade "spot" fixture. Perfect for soft directional highlighting of landscape elements. Malibu fixture projects a good medium brightness, round, but directed beam of halogen light. As it is a 20watt fixture it is not overpowering. Fixture produces about a 2’ circle of light at a distance of 2’ from the subject.
At this distance we measured 70 foot candles. It is actually a lot of light and 20watts is a standard for fixtures of this type. (we do offer a 10watt and a 50watt) Use it for small to medium lighting applications for shrubs and architectural elements. Fixture has as rubber gasket to keep out water as well as a "weep hole" in case moisture does get in. Lamp replacement is easy and no tools are required. Just twist the front of the fixture counter clockwise to remove the front and re-lamp.
Don’t touch the bulb with your fingers, use a tissue as it will last longer. The metal steak does not remove but is adjustable and the electrical 12volt Fast-Lock II® connectors are connected to the 6" wire supplied with each fixture. This is a great little fixture and will give you years of service. An excellent bargain for an all metal fixture. Replacement lamps can be purchased from us or any large home improvement store.
