Hi,
I operate a dementia care facility...
http://www.halekuike.com/site/374/healing_gardens.aspx
and we started out with the Malibu junk (before they had LED) 7 years ago. Most of the fixtures are still working but the bulb changes are a bummer.
Actually, most of the Malibu MR16 Spots have failed over time due to...leaks, poor construction, etc.
I've tried some decent looking LED lights from Lowes that were OK at first.

But, the finish began to look bad quickly and after a couple of years they are falling apart.
The Malibu LEDs I've tried are OK...but there has to be something better in the low cost price range.
The best economical LED spots I've found are these....SPL series High Powered Landscape Spotlights from Super Bright LEDs. They still seem a little expensive at $35 bucks per pop...but they have good output and have held up to tropical weather for 3 or 4 years.

My maintenance man wants me to order some more of these and I'm going to order them tomorrow.
Can anyone suggest a decent LED landscape path light (not spot) that's in the $50 or less range?
Thanks,
Dave
