The house I moved into two years ago has 4 120V hard-wired up lights. When I moved in, 1 was dead, and now another is fading.
Anyone know where I can get replacements? It would be cool to get color changing LED ones, but every thing I find online is low voltage, plug in, or refers me to a representative or a landscaping company.

Can you post pics? I have these. Super basic. Won't be able to do LED etc but easy to find and replace.

Edit: this is an old pic before replaced but gives an idea of style.

Currently have an LED version of that where the LED can't be replaced so I have to replace the whole thing.

For the "arm" I got 1/2" pipe to fit that was stainless. I brought lamp and the base to Home Depot to ensure fit.

I'm dealing with the same thing. Looks like using those same fixtures shown above plus a smart bulb like the GE Cync is my cheapest option.

planoaggie123 Sorry if this is a stupid question but why can't you do led? I have the same type fixture and replaced the burned out spotlights w led.

Where'd you get it? I want LED but keep finding low voltage, plug in, or with adaptors. Even better if it changes colors.

Sorry. I meant you can't do those all-in-one led up light kits that have options for colors etc. I just screw in plain old LED bulbs that are 3000K.

Edit: can maybe use a smart lightbulb but I have 12 and not willing to spend the money.

I installed several of these last year. They don't change color. That would be cool. They've been good so far.

Thanks, too bad it doesn't seem like color changing lights like this exist. Guess I'll have to go with boring white.
I was tempted to cut the plug off something like this and wire it in. But that's probably not safe.
