Tools and Hardware Reviews of Intermatic CL635R Malibu Low Voltage Metal Capped 20-Watt Landscape Bollard Light, Black
Customer Review: I eventually replaced these with another style of light
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first wired my backyard, almost eight years ago, I put in a dozen of these lights. They looked good, but didn't last too long.
Pro:
- Look great for a while.
- Easy to install
- Inexpensive
Here's what went wrong:
- Aluminum corrodes. In some cases, the stake almost completely dissolved an inch underground. In others, the screw thread joining the top section to the post corroded and the sections couldn't be separated to replace a burned-out light. And in still others, the sections could be separated, but wouldn't firmly fasten together again.
- The bottom is open for ventilation. Bugs get inside and carry dirt with them. The lamp reflectors serve nicely to push the falling dirt up against the bulb, which then promptly burns out...the lamps run very hot and it's important that the heat pass through glass instead of heating the glass. (Hence the warning not to touch the bulb when installing. The oil from your fingers interferes with the heat transmission.)
- If they last, the black paint eventually turns gray and flakes off.
A couple of people mentioned that they've had a hard time finding bulbs. That's surprising as they're standard MR-16 bulbs, available in all the big box stores, almost every hardware store (at least those where I looked!) and on-line at here at Amazon. (See Halogen Light Bulb, MR-16, BAB, GX5.3 Base, 12 Volts, 20 Watt, 36° Flood for one of many choices.) LED bulbs also work, but you need to be careful that you leave some regular incandescent bulbs on the lamp string...with only LED Lamps, the load is too low and the standard transformer's output voltage can rise and substantially shorten the life of the LEDs.
