I'm throwing a halloween party at my house. There is inground lighting in my yard at the base of trees and built in to the deck. I would like to make this lighting a certain color if possible.

Outdoor Lighting and Music in the City? I have a house in a major US City with a 3rd-floor outdoor deck that also allows access to the roof. These areas provide my only outdoor areas and excellent views of the city skyline, and thus are ideal for entertaining. The deck is small (about 10' x10'), has an outdoor light, and has one outlet. The roof has no electrical outlets or lighting. I am trying to find ways, preferably permanent, to light and provide music to these spaces. Also I am a college student on a very tight budget so the cheaper the better. Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

Outdoor/Garden Lighting??? Has anyone ever seen NICE outdoor lighting (something like fairy lights or Xmas tree lights or lanterns) that is battery powered? Maybe using a torch battery or similar???

I have outdoor lighting on a timer. All outdoor lights stopped working, but the timer itself is working. HELP There are several lights outside that are on a timer. I am sure the timer is working, since it is keeping the correct time and the dial moves with the time. When I manually try to turn on the outdoor lights from the timer, they do not turn on. The lighting outside isn't working. I checked the breaker, and it has not tripped. Now what? What would I look for outside that may be the problem? There are several lights on this timer, so it is not a light bulb or a single bulb ballast. Thank you for your help!

Why does my outdoor lighting system turn on every night for about half a second and then turn off? I have an outdoor lighting system for my front walkway. It is powered by a Malibu ML200RT Low Voltage Transformer. When the transformer is plugged in, and the timer turns the system on, all the lights turn on for about half a second and then they turn off the whole night until the next day, when the processes repeats. I opened up the Malibu transformer and it was filled with water. So, I kept it open for a few days to let it dry. It's now been dry inside my house for over 10 days. However, I still have the same problem. The lights will turn on briefly and then off, I can't get it to repeat until the next day. What's odd is that the Malibu's internal timer keeps working. I'm assuming the Malibu transformer is the problem since it was filled with water. However, who knows? It's worked fine for about three years or so. One other detail, the lights on the walk way are Malibu 11 watt CS14P lights. There are 10 of them. Can I fix the transformer or do I have to buy a new one?

What is the best outdoor lighting system to protect your house from burglars and crime? How have you set up your outdoor lighting system? Including the garage lights and the lights you might have in your flower beds which "spotlight" your house. Any tips would be helpful as there is an increase in burglaries and car thefts in my area (our cars have been broken into 2x in our driveway). Please HELP! P.S. We have car alarms but the thieves are pretty clever here, no alarms ever go off when cars are broken into. I don't know how they do it, our cars are always locked & alarms off. P.S.
