The Volt Corp. Top Dog Cast Brass Downlight.The Top Dog Cast Brass is what some might call the Flagship lighting fixture for Volt. It is durable, just like all of our products, but it is definitely one of, if not THE most versatile of our lighting fixtures. The Top Dog employs an adjustable light shield, so you can determine how much light you want in an area. From nearly a flood with the shield completely down, to a much more directed amount of light with the shield fully expanded. The Top Dog fixture is also shielded and has a silicone plug at the base of the fixture where the lead wires exit, helping to prevent pests and humidity enter into the fixture, ensuring that it will last you for a long time. Fixtures from Volt Corp. are worth their money many times over with their durability alone.Here are some other Volt products similar to the Top DogInnovator Top DogTop Dog DownlightCopper Directional SpotlightTechnical Specs of the Top Dog DownlightHub system ready. 25 foot lead wire, 16 gauge SPT-2, UL Listed, Tinned copper wiring.PVC Stake included (surface mount pictured is NOT included but can be purchasedas an accessory).Uses MR-16 lamp (order from pull down menu).Rated to 50 w but 20-35w is recommended for mostapplications.Long lead wire is both for hubs, but also for faster, easier installationwithout hubs.

Landscape lighting is usually either over priced or of poor quality. Volt makes a top quality product at a great price. The best that I have yet seen.
