Just ordered! I've seen conflicting online comments about transformer mounting options for the Costco kit. Hope mine comes with a wall mounting bracket, or I'll need to get creative...
2 of my lights will be about 2 feet from the hub. I don't want to cut the leads to the lights in case I move them later. Can I just bury the excess wire?
There was a large enough gap in a control joint to run the wire through without digging. We recommend covering the wire with a piece of spacer or self-leveling sealant. Here's a more in-depth video that also covers techniques to run the wire underneath the concrete: th-cam.com/video/PzJ4Pmumxdw/w-d-xo.html
To replace the bulbs, simply remove the glare guard and unscrew the bulb housing. Feel free to reach out to customer support for a replacement as bulbs are covered under our lifetime warranty. Here's a link to our warranty info: www.voltlighting.com/warranty These spotlights will accept any MR16 bulb, up to 20W. If you're looking for alternative color temps, wattages, or beam angles, here are our other MR16 options: www.voltlighting.com/shop/led-bulbs/mr16-bulbs
I would like to install this kit, or a similar one from VOLT, however most of my landscaping/garden area against the entire perimeter of my house is watered via in-ground irrigation sprinkler spray heads that are 15 ft. away from the foundation. The location I'd mount the transformer by an outdoor GFCI outlet would probably get "misted" by the sprinklers but not directly shot at. Is it ok for the transformer box to get wet in this scenario? It would definitely see rain so I am assuming an answer of Yes but definitely let me know if it's ok!
As long as the outlet is protected the transformer should be fine. Our transformers are rated for both indoor and outdoor use and we actually recommend installing the transformer outside. If anything were to happen you'll be covered by our lifetime warranty.

This kit comes with both the wall bracket to hang the transformer as well as the pedestal mount for those not wanting to drill into their wall.
excellent video!

Yes
Yes, that's perfectly fine.
Can i run it over ground or i have bury it always? There is a section which is over 8 ft and can't do it under the concrete. Any suggestion?
How did you get the wire on the other side of the driveway?

How many watts does the transformer need? Can I run this using a solar generator?
The transformer has a standard 120V plug. Any outdoor outlet will work.

@Zakir Siddiqui Yes the GFCI outlet is under a clear weatherproof cover.

Great kit but the hub is garbage. Create a wire mess
We do offer waterproof wire nuts as well as burial connectors, however, to a newcomer we found hubs to be the most straightforward option.
