Building a Complete Lighting System?
Pair your fixture with the components needed to build a complete low-voltage lighting system.
Not sure what size you need? Transformer capacity and wire gauge depend on fixture quantity, lamp wattage, cable length, system layout, and voltage drop. Size these components for the complete project rather than one fixture.
Product Overview
The Total Light Melbourne Dome Style Brass Path Light with 18-inch stem provides soft, downward-directed illumination for walkways, garden beds, planting borders and outdoor living areas. Its compact dome-shaped shade helps shield the lamp from direct view while spreading a circular pool of light across the surrounding ground. A ceramic white reflective underside supports downward light distribution, while the included clear glass lens helps protect the lamp area from debris and routine exposure in the landscape.
This 12V low-voltage path light is constructed from solid brass and finished in Classic Brass, giving it a clean profile that can coordinate with contemporary, transitional and traditional properties. The 18-inch stem raises the dome above lower plants and ground cover, making this version useful where a little additional fixture height is preferred along paths, garden borders or landscaped approaches.
The fixture uses a replaceable LED G4 bi-pin lamp rated at no more than 10 watts. The lamp is sold separately. A 36-inch section of 18/2 direct-burial lead wire is attached for connection to compatible low-voltage landscape-lighting cable, and a TL-GSTAKE2 ground stake is included for placement in suitable soil, mulch and landscaped areas. The fixture is ETL certified and carries lifetime residential and commercial warranties.
