Customer Reviews for Hampton Bay Low-Voltage Black Outdoor Integrated LED Landscape Well Light

The Hampton Bay Low voltage lighting system is a great way to update your landscaping and improve curb appeal. The Hampton Bay's system is easy to use with a clamp-on system to connect lights to the main line. No need to fuss with cutting and splicing and joining cables. Very easy to use and set up. Hardest part is making the trench to bury the line in.

in the pic it is used to highlight the maroon maple tree.

I've installed 22 of these 8 months ago and since had to replace 10 of them. The keep failing not sure if water is penetrating seals as they are in lawn area and watered twice daily but is a hassle even with the 5 years manf warr. I have just been buying replacements and returuning the defective ones at HD on the latest invoice.

The low-voltage LED lighting is easy to install. The light color is pleasant and the illumination from the well light is good for a small tree or large bush. The quality seems good. We used well lights, path lights and spotlights on the entire project.

I picked this up for use in an area between some small shrubs/trees and the back side of a small waterfall. I just wanted a little illumination on the trees and water fall. It would have been nice if the light spread out a bit more but it was pretty much what I expected. I like that it is such low power usage. And the light does not have that bluish hue that some LED's have. My night time picture taking skills are not great so my night photos are not the best. Taking a night picture with a flash is easy but doing it without one to show the light is trickier so I've posted some taken both ways to give the general idea of how this worked out. It sits between a waterfall and fake rock that hides my power in the photos so it lights up the rock, small tree and waterfall at night just enough to give a soft light for the grouping. I wired it to a Hampton Bay transformer with a remote photocell (transformer is inside the fake rock also) and that is working well so far with this light. I may add some more lights later but this was my starting point in low voltage lighting. This would work well in an area such as in front of an address sign. I might pick up another one later for that very use. Fine if you only want a small area lit in a certain way. Seems well built and solidly made. Installing was very easy. I like the way the clips are made on these lights. Much easier and better made than some I had many years ago.

Weekend project that took all of maybe two hours. I needed to light my flag at night the solar lights weren't cutting it. So I got these and installed them myself.

This Hampton Bay well light is an excellent addition to my outdoor lighting. There are so many ways it can be used, but I have placed it inside a wooden wishing well and it looks great (it is much more impressive than I could show in my photo). Installation was quick and easy by simply attaching the cable connector to my main wire and no tools were needed. It has all metal construction and has a diameter of about 6". The in-ground section has a diameter of 4". I was impressed with the light output of an LED light using only 4.5 watts. The output is 135 lumens (The Specs stated 2700 lumens, but I believe that is a typo). It is so nice to have lights without the hassle of constantly replacing bulbs as these LED bulbs will last up to 50,000 hours. It is also nice to have a 5-year warranty.

Ease of installation of my particular fixture was made more difficult due to the connector block not being completely assembled. It took me 30 minutes to troubleshoot my wiring, then the fixture, before I found a loose wire in the connector block. All it needed was a squeeze with some pliers to fix it, but it should've been assembled correctly at the factory. That being done, the installation was a breeze and the light looks great. I took an extra step and installed the fixture in a PVC downspout adapter instead of directly into the dirt.

I purchased a few Hampton Bay well light. Rugged fixture with strong connectors. However after ~8 months the light was no longer functioning. A second failed after 10 months. I learned from HD reps that the bulbs cannot be replaced. So far I’m out about $90. Very disappointed.

I've had several of these fail as others have noted... The issue is that the figure-8 wire entering the bottom is not well sealed, water enters in heavy rain, and the circuit board inside has no conformal coating to resist water, parts corrode, then it fails. I round cable can be sealed at entry to an enclosure much more effectively.

Got them all installed. Thought they looked great. Next day one burned out. Disappointing

I bought a lot of lighting Hampton Bay, everything is working out good, except the Hampton Bay solar lights, only last a few hours, have changed batteries twice! Can I return them with no box?

Excellent quality and easy installation

This light works well at first but over time they fail. I have had 20 or so installed in my backyard and no fewer than 5 have failed over a period of 3 years. Failure includes leaking, burnt LEDs, and poor wiring. I understand they have a long warranty included but they were installed by a landscaper and he does not keep his receipts. Not reccomended.

Very bright light that looks great in the garden. We have an older lighting system so we had to have our gardener install it.

They only lasted for six months

Installation was super easy and the light level is perfect. Would be again!

Leaks then fails - Functions well if you disassemble and seal the wire and glass and gaskets with silicone sealant The pinch to pierce connectors are best removed and replaced with wire nuts pre-filled with dielectric grease or any non-conductive grease and wire nut will be better than the bogus failure-prone pierce connectors.

Easy to install and the accent lighting is warm and beautiful. LED is the way to go.

I installed two of these well lights in my backyard lawn. They provide excellent lighting near my hot tub, and the effect looks really cool. In addition, I can simply run the lawnmower over them. I liked the lights so much that I purchased a third one.

It works just like it is supposed to.

We replaced our old not working well lights with these. They light up the trees beautifully!

simple snap on attachment

Reasonable price, easy installation, superior efficiency, and very good quality light make these LED fixtures any easy upgrade from the old style bulb/fixture for yard lighting.

Doesn't last long. I'm replacing one of four. Definitely get the HD insurance for $6 more. Had to use it once already.

Quick easy install. Added to my existing backyard lighting.
