Malibu 8301-9301-01 Mushroom Bollard Light, Black Gloss Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I have been using these lights around my house for about 10 years now. They work very nice. The glass works similar to the projector glass on car headlamps and really magnifies the beam. Very nice. Do NOT install these fixtures pushed all the way in the ground, and to mow over them like a previous poster. That is not a proper install and will facilitate water egress into the fixture, thus shortening the life of the fixture and lamp. They work best if installed in a mulch bed so the bollard portion is above ground. Replacement sockets are readily available for these fixtures. I have purchased them a few times as needed over the years. Simply search for G4 type bi-pin sockets. Replacement lamps can also be found very cheaply right here on Amazon. Search for 10W 12V G4 TYPE JC Bi-Pin Lamp. I just purchased 12 lamps for $5.98, inc. shipping. The box store lamps are way overpriced. Use a bit of grease on the threads of the fixture. This will make it much easier to unscrew the fixture at a later date. Keep the lamps replaced! These fixtures work best when they utilize the heat of the lamp to keep things dry.

I have 3 of these lights in the ground around the pool to provide a lit accent border. The light is easy to install, took me less than 5 minutes each. The price is very good, and the glass mushroom top is good even if installing in grass as long as you don't keep it raised up too much to interfere with the mower.

I have had these type for about 6 years and then needed to replace a few that got some corrosion around the light bulb socket. My advice would be to make sure you tighten the glass lens top, and consider some silicone in addition to the rubber o-ring that it comes with, that might avoid condensation which might have been my problem.

We have owned this style of light for several years, only bought these additional lights for replacements. They seem to corrode after about 10-12 years. One if the new lights had a bent metal tube that I was able to repair with pliers. The packaging showed no sign of damage, so it had to be damaged before packaging.

These are perfect for outdoor pathway because they're all metal, and heavy duty. They may a nice effect next to bushes like no other lights.

These are fabulous lights for the money. My daughter purchased some with a metal top and the gardener's weed whacker dented and removed all of her paint. These are heavy with a glass top and are impervious to the gardner's assaults.
