Read this if using LED lights + dimmers!!!!
Works great. Two key things....
#1 Ignorant people
Most of the negative reviews I read were the result of user error. Follow the instructions and understand how it works and you will be surprised how easy it is to install, pull the cables very taught and how to change the bulbs. This set looks like a million bucks when installed properly.
#2 NOTE ON LED BULBS!!!!!
After lots of reading and testing, there is an issue using LED bulbs with this set if you plan on using a dimmer. Transformer needs at least a 50-60watt load for it to work properly for dimming. If you buy the Frequently Bought Together lights, there will be problems because they are 4 Watt bulbs. I bought two of these sets and put 10 lights on one cable/Transformer. This was still only 40watts so the lights would flicker, turn on and off, blink... Etx. After swapping a few LED lights for the stock halogens to raise the load, they worked like a charm.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE LED LIGHTS AND WILL USE A DIMMER, YOUR LOAD MUST BE 50-60 WATTS PLUS FOR IT TO WORK RIGHT.
I bought 8 Watt dimmable LED bulbs and I have 10 on one cable/Transformer.
