Answer:	they are VERY bright, 20 lumens
Question:	Are these light compatible with an existing low voltage cable and power supply unit? Or will this require to rewire everything

Question:	How many lights can you run on one transformer
Answer:	I bought 4 of them and placed them next to the path in front of my house, so that I can get enough light for charging during the day, and work normally at night while illuminating the way home.

User questions & answers

Question:	Safe to use on the ceiling of a shower
Answer:	I wouldn't imagine that they would hold up to that kind of wear. Also, the glow is much less than depicted and you would have to order a huge amount. Each bag holds no more than a handful of rocks.
Question:	Can these be cut to length
Answer:	Not sure about using around a fire pit, but I can tell you that they don't glow in the dark worth a darn. Product is a total rip off. Dan Warren
Question:	Can these be chained together to created a longer strip
Answer:	The STAKES themselves are thin metal but they have plastic insertable tips that go on them and in the ground.
Question:	Can this strips be expandable with another set
Answer:	I would defer directly to the seller or manufacturer. The ones that came with the units are plastic.

User questions & answers

Question:	I believe this is a starter set. I need 2 of this. Do they sell without the whole set
Answer:	No bronze
Question:	Where do you get the connectors shown in the manually to connect 5 of these together
Answer:	No. But I also wouldn’t recommend it if you are looking for actually effective lighting. The truth is these just aren’t that bright. They only have one small LED in there. They make a very nice pattern on the ground and are quite charming in your yard. But if you raise them up 6 inches or more you lose that pattern that they produce and they lose their charm.
Question:	Is the power cord and supply proprietary? In other words, can I cut the extension cord and splice to a typical landscape wire
Answer:	product is mostly metal and stands up better to weed eater abuse
Question:	In the extension bollard, does it contain a t shaped connector? if not, where do you get them? already have the lily system installed
Answer:	I doubt seller is going to do so. But you could always try. Good luck.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this HomeKit Enabled
Answer:	Alexa is not required you and run them with the Hue app.
Question:	Can these be dimmed? I am seeing conflicting information so looking for a solid answer
Answer:	A bulb failed after just 5 hours in an enclosure. Here is Philips' response: "Currently the Hue bulbs are not designed to work in ceiling fan fixtures or enclosed fixtures. Having your Hue bulbs in these application will cause your Hue bulbs to fail and void their warranty. With your bulbs being used in this application we will not be able to warranty your Hue bulb at this time."
Question:	Is it possible to set up without plugging into router ? ie- wirelessly
Answer:	You can dim them by saying "Alexa, dim lights" or "Alexa lights at maximum brightness", etc. As for changing colors, yes and no. You can have her change scenes, which would change colors but not just like "Alexa, change light #1 to blue". Sadly that's not possible at this time. I've read that there is a third party app that can let you do that, but if it exists, it's not ubiquitously known on account of it.
Question:	Is this an international item? Will be using in the US
Answer:	OK, here is what I found... The round hub is generation 1, the square hub (with rounded corners) is gen 2. Currently there is no gen 3 hub. You know you are getting gen 3 bulbs if you see the small emblem in the top right that says, "Richer Colors". Please note that the wrong photos of the item are being show periodically. Be prepared to check before you unpack your package.
