These lights evidently replace a previous product which was similar, since entering that previous item stock number brings up these lights. One difference, not noted in the product description, is that these are 2.5 watts whereas the previous were 1.0 watt. That can be important in some applications.

I bought 4 of these to replace some older low-voltage spotlights in my front yard. Installation was a breeze and they look great! The light these put out is more than enough to light a tree, side of a house, address, etc. The lamp housing is metal and very high quality. The stakes are plastic but strong; they went into my hard clay soil without a problem. My only tip is to install low voltage outdoor lighting when the temperature is over 75 degrees; that way, the low voltage line buried in the ground is pliable enough to attach the lights to. Otherwise, it’s difficult to press the spikes on the light connector deep enough into the low voltage main line.
