Excellent product I have used a wide selection of low voltage light fixtures as we try to light our property, and I am very pleased with the three Paradise GL22724BK fixtures we bought. They are not spot lights–we use them to light trees from about 10′ (3m) away. The angle adjustment would allow them to be used as uplights. The photo here on Amazon doesn’t show the metal spike that goes into the ground. It is an “L” shape, rather than “+”, in cross section–very strong and easier to push into hard dirt. Second, the wire attachment is the best kind in my experience. Malibu has a two-part gizmo that is hard to position and hard to undo. I’ve also seen a connector that requires a plastic alignment part be snapped onto the cable first–you need the right part or it doesn’t work. The Paradise fixture has a rectangular box closed with three finger screws. (You could use a screwdriver, but it is not needed.) Remove the three screws–the nuts are captive–remove the top and take out the rubber spacer that matches your wire guage. Push it on the wire, replace the top and three screws and you’re done. As I said, it’s the least hassle of any of the other connectors I’ve encountered, and the easiest to reposition. Quality control doesn’t seem great on low voltage lights, in general, but I was very pleased that all three fixtures lit up the first time power was applied (other fixtures require tweaking, or a new light bulb, etc.). Finally, the price is a great value–I have paid this much for plastic, 4W, fixtures. One more thing–before I dove into this project, I thought that you couldn’t mix and match, that you couldn’t add Paradise to a Malibu system. You most certainly can–we have Malibu/Intermatic as well as Paradise transformers, generic 12/2 wire, and all kinds of fixtures playing nicely.
