Fiber Optic Garden products are the safest products available since no electricity is connect to any fixtures. The fixture itself can be totally submerged under water with no fear of short circuit or electrocution. The light from the source is “piped” through the optical fiber directly to each fixture, there is absolutely no electricity going to any of the fixtures. The color of the light will depend upon the color of the light source, which can be fixed or color changing.
The light given from the light engine is consider to be bright to brilliant since the light sources could be anything from 20W Halogen bulb to 400W Metal Halide bulb.

Another alternative is the LED Garden Series, although not as bright as its Fiber Optic counterpart, however, it gains in the area of long life and minimal power consumption. The typical life time ranges from 50,000 to 60,000 hours, that’s about 10 times longer than the longest lifetime of a Metal Halide bulb (6,000 hours). While the light engine of the fiber optics consumes up 150W, the largest LED Lamp consumes only 25W of power, a 6 times power saving.
