Artkalia 1010.W03.7010 Design LED Ambiance Colors kit, Silver

I purchased this light kit early in April 2013. I was very excited to install the lights in my deck. Upon opening the box and installing the lights, I realized two minor flaws. First, the control box is not rated for outdoor use (I ended up purchasing an outdoor electrical outlet cover to house the control box). I'm not sure why a company would produce outdoor lighting without making all of the components weather resistant. Second, each time the lights turn on (I had them on a timer), the color fades between all colors. I found this frustrating. It would be much more convenient if the control box were able to save your settings so that when powered on light to the programed setting. Both are minor and can be overlooked.The MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR flaw it with the light housing construction. In less than 6 weeks, the water proof seals began to fail on the individual LED light bulb housing. This caused the lights in the failed housing to be out of the sequence of the other lights i.e. the failed light may be red when all of the other lights are blue. Thinking it was a fluke, I contacted amazon and amazon sent a set of new lights to install. In July, I had the same issue with the replacement lights. This time, I sent them back for a full refund.Long story short, unless you enjoy pulling up your deck boards to install and uninstall and install and uninstall light kits, do not purchase these lights.Artkalia, if you read these reviews, your product pushes the edge of outdoor lighting--when they work, they are very cool. If the lights are reengineered to not leak, I would consider using your products for future projects.

I used these lights on my deck. They turn 8 different colors, are weather tight and completely sealed, and mount flush to my wood decking. Instalation was easy and each light is interchangable via S-Video connection. I have one area that required more than the 1 meter cord length between light, it was a easy fix by just splicing with low voltage wire. Great product. Rmeote works well, but only if there is a clear line-of sight from remote to sensor, When I put voltage regulator below my decking the remote doesnt work.

These lights are easy to install and are perfect for lighting the vertical rise of the steps of a deck. I was able to drill the 1 1/8" holes easily enough (then tediously drilled through all the cross-boards under the decking) but was able to install 50 lights myself in about a day. The lights do exactly what they say with the different colors and ability to string multiple sets together. A few simple warnings: the more you string together, the greater the chance that you may see diminished light further down the chain, and in one case I found the lighting color had changed dramatically (instead of white looked bright blue). After talking to the manufacturer (who responds readily through email but doesn't seem to answer the phone), they were able to clarify how to fix the color issue simply by rearranging the lights. The lights are elegant and classy and better than anything else I found at Home Depot, Lowes or Menards. We had a new electrical line run outside for the lights and were able to mount the lighting controllers within visual range. The remote control to change colors requires you to be super close to the controller units and in line of sight, but we'll manage. The sound-mode is something we can't wait to try with people over - the lights fluctuate to the sound of the music. We ordered more "kits" than we needed; if you plan on stringing more than 10 lights together, consider buying the 10-pack add-ons of lights from the manufacturer. And if you think you may need to put lights more than 39" apart, buy their extension cords too (from [...] - it's very hard to find the M/F s-video cables and make them waterproof, while their solution clicks together and keeps the connections water-tight. We love these lights.
