I picked up 7 of these and two spots because there were a lot of rave reviews, that Amazon, for some reason, deleted them all. These wall wash lights are just GREAT! These lights give you a very nice wide spread of a pleasing yellow light (kudos for them not being that sickly bluish LED lights) against the walls that provide enough reflected light for a nearby walking path (so you don't even need those pagoda tiered walk way lights)(my path is about 10 feet away and the reflected light off a moss green wall was enough). They do put off a lot of light, equivalent to having 30 to 40 watts, which is pretty amazing. The end result was, WOW! And only 63 watts for 9 lights! I should have done this years ago!
Now a couple of pointers for you DIYers, for the tranformer, I've read you should have double the wattage of the intended lights. For me, these LEDs give me a lot more capacity. When you clip the lights on the cable, bring a pair of pliers because if you are angled wrong, then you'll be bending the sharp tooth that cuts into the cable and you'll need to straighten them with the pliers. I put these lights in about a couple of weeks ago in the cold Northern weather without any problem. Good luck!
Here's my buy list:

Malibu LED Flood Light, Black (7 watts)

Coleman Cable 09513 12/2 Low Voltage Direct Burial Garden Light Cable, Black, 100-Feet

This light appears to actually use 10 watts, not 7, but the light it puts out is fantastic. It will light up the entire side of your house. I bought about 10 and lit up most of my yard for about the same electricity as one 100 watt bulb.
Best Deals for LED Wall Wash Light, Black
I bought three of these lights for a back wall of a courtyard, largely based on the other reviews about the quality of the light. These lights do produce a warm, glowing light on the wall not at all "LED harsh" like some other LED lights. I was originally going to order 4 lights for the 25 foot wall, but the three are quite enough to make a nice glow at night along the entire wall. I would highly recommend these lights.
