Does this Dabmar LV-LED65 Outdoor Recessed Step Light - LV-LED65 has a built-in transformer? Could we get it in brass finish? I have 120 volt going in to the recess. And we need 6 of this lighting fixture.

Answer: The transformer is not built into the lighting fixture. You need a separate transformer to power these outdoor step lights. For a quantity of 6, you can just use one 75W Miniature Electronic Transformer - TRANS-RMTE-75. Unfortunately, this step light is only available in stainless steel finish.

I am interested in purchasing CF Outdoor Spotlights to be used in an outdoor court yard. As the lights will be used to light a wall. I am looking for lights that will be mounted in the ground. When looking at some of the photos of the Outdoor Flood Light (DM-DF-5970), it is mounted in the ground, but other photos do not show the light with a mounting stake. Does this landscape lighting fixture include a mounting ground stake or is the ground stake an option?

Answer: The rocket post / stake for 120V needs to be ordered separately. It’s Dabmar Landscape Lighting Line Voltage Rocket Post - LV-S6.

I am trying to find pathlights that match some existing light poles for a client of mine, and this LV-82 Path Light (LV-82) is one of the closest I have found. But I need it in a black finish. Under finishes, it doesn’t list a black finish. If I can get it in black, we will probably be ordering 20+ of this item.

Answer: We do apologize, we do not have a black finish for this Dabmar landscape lighting fixture. However, if you are interested in just a darker finish, the Antique Bronze in this fixture is a very deep dark brown. It may suffice. Let us know if you are interested in any other options. Hope this is helpful.

The detailed picture shows this Pagoda Light (LV-102) from Dabmar with a riser. I can not use one with an integral riser. Is the riser removable?

Answer: Actually, the riser for this landscape lighting fixture needs to be purchased separated. The LV-102 is just the pagoda head itself.

I am choosing from: LV-208 Path Light, LV-204 Path Light, LV-62 Path Light and LV-63 Path Light. Can you let me know what other accessories I need to purchase if I bought 10 of those lighting fixtures from Dabmar (like transfromers, etc.)?

Answer: Yes. Besides the landscape lighting fixtures, you will need at least a 300W transformer. Each lighting fixture has 20W lamp x 10 pcs = 200W so you will need 300W transformer to power 200W fixtures. Other than that, you will also need low voltage wire and a good electrician.

I like to install these Outdoor Recessed Step Light (LV-636) (about 15 of them) in a patio. I assume these landscape lighting steplight can take water and moisture well, right? Could you provide the connecting diagram/set of instructions on a PDF file?

Answer: These (LV-636) is not for underwater step light. It can only take some splashes from rain or water sprinkler from time to time. However, since Outdoor Recessed Step Light (LV-636) is made out of cast Aluminum (not brass nor copper), it will rust much faster (less than 1-2 years) if you have a water sprinkler that directly splash water on these lighting fixtures on a daily basis. At this time, we do not have connection diagram nor instruction sheet that we can provide to you. If you need to speak with Dabmar’s technical support directly, you may contact them with the numbers that we gave you.

Bronze in general is a dark brown finish as shown on our website for the Outdoor Step Light - LV-702. While, black finish is shown for the Outdoor Recessed Step Light - LV-636.

Hi. Can this Dabmar D-5000 Pagoda Light use more than the 25w light stated? I would like to use 40w bulbs (120v). Thanks.

I plan to use 5 of these Dabmar DSL-V Outdoor Step Light or similar landscape lighting fixtures to provide lights on a deck. The lights will be inserted into the side of the house and daisy chained w/ 110V house power.

1. These are low voltage lights - do each include a tranformer to accept 110V. Can I daisy chain them together w/ 110 electrical wire (would be on a 15 amp circuit)
2. The image below shows green light. Is that the bulb or some coloring in the fixture.

Answer: For the DSL-V Outdoor Step Light, these lighting fixtures are in the line voltage 120V, so no transformer will be needed. Under the Model drop down menu, you can see that it comes in different lamping options. The first for Model DSL-1014 is 40W 120V Incandescent (T10 tubular medium base). All others in compact fluorescent lamping and are still in 120 line voltage.

With regards to your second question, the green light was a special bulb that Dabmar use for photograph purposes only. The bulb which comes with this lighting fixture is yellowish-white in color. Please be advised that, bulb is included for NON-incandescent lamping option only.
