Choosing the Right Products

How do I choose a Power Supply that is right for me?
The answer is simple! Add the total sum of the wattages of your lights together. Once you get a total, select the power supply that is closest to your application without being under.
Do I need an electrician to install my lighting?
NO. Although you may use an electrician, one is not necessary to install low voltage landscape lighting. These lights are designed to be DIY (Do It Yourself) type of installation. Our connectors easily pierce the wire to ensure correct connection. YardBright highly recommends that you try installing your lighting by yourself. You may find the experience rewarding. for thse who are not the "DIY" types, you can contact a landscaper to easily connect the lights. We will soon have a directory of recommended landscapers in your area in which you may contact for help in installations.
How deep do I bury my wiring?
We recommend you bury your cable at least 4 inches underground. Do not bury connector, or main cable in combustable materials such as wood chips, bark, or dried leaves.

Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
A Circuit Breaker tripping is a sign that something is installed incorrectly. Check your wattages again to make sure you are not overloading the transformer (i.e. 150 watt transformer with 200 total watts of lights installed). next, check your conections at each lamp. It is possible that the pins may have crossed, or the wires are making contact some how.
How do my lights know when to turn on?
YardBright utilizes Advanced Photocell Technology. This means that when it gets dark, your lights turn on. If you have your lighting pre-set for the number of hours to stay lit (i.e. 1, 4, 8 hours after darkness), they will stay lit for that amount of time and turn off. If set to Dusk/Dawn, they will stay on all night until daylight. Our photocells ignore momentary light events (such as car headlights) and reset every 24 hours.
My lights stay on all day...why?
You have placed the unit where there is not enough natural daylight. Place it where it can catch some natural light.
Can I use my transformer indoors?
YES! Our units are rated for inside and outside use. Our easy controls allow you to use the units as a switch, ormay be plugged into a wall that is switched by a lightswitch.
Will rain affect my glass on the lights?
No. Rain is natural water. Irrigation systems providing city/well water will develop a sheen on the lenses with Calcium or Lime. Use a product such as non abrasive bathroom cleaner that removes calcium deposits, or hard water deposits to clean lenses.
