Product Overview
The Total Light Boca Brass Path Light provides soft, downward-facing illumination for walkways, garden paths, planting beds, patios, driveway borders, steps, stonework, and other frequently used outdoor areas. Its broad 8-inch shade helps spread light over a larger surface while directing the lamp output toward the ground, making it easier to define travel areas and highlight surrounding landscape features without relying on exposed, outward-facing light.
Constructed from solid brass with a Classic Brass finish, the TL-PL-8-18-CB is designed for use as part of a 12-volt low-voltage landscape-lighting system. The underside of the shade is finished with a ceramic white coating to help reflect and distribute light more evenly. An 18-inch stem raises the shade above surrounding plants and groundcover, while the included TL-GSTAKE2 ground stake supports installation in soil and landscaped beds.
This fixture uses a replaceable LED G4 bi-pin lamp rated at no more than 10 watts. The lamp and low-voltage transformer are sold separately, allowing the installer to choose an appropriate light output and color temperature for the project. A 36-inch section of 18/2 direct-burial lead wire is attached for connection to compatible low-voltage landscape-lighting cable. Both frosted and clear glass lenses are included, providing two lens options for the completed installation.
