110v path lights along walk way... How to install?

I would love to install real 110v ac path lights. I have never been impressed by low voltage, and want the real deal. I just can't find any literature on how to install them in the ground. I understand the electrical side, just not how they're physically supported, ect. Was looking at someone like this:
Weatherproof 3 Tier Path Light - Green-PL3TG at The Home Depot

Or ideally:
Product Detail

But the installation is somewhat confusing.

Anybody have any ideas or experience?

Thanks in advance!!

Welcome to the forums "Includes: instruction sheet" should help a lot. Most likely they are supported via posts with junction boxes under each one for your connections to the UF cable.

Replacing Ballast

W

whitenerj on Apr 05, 2012

I am replacing my old Radionic E2324IX120 electronic ballast with a new Howard EP2-40RS-MV-MC one. My old one has the same pair of red and blue wires coming out of the ballast and going to one end of the 2 T12 bulbs but the other end on my old ballast has one red, one blue, and one yellow going to the other end of the bulbs. Looks as though the yellow is jumping over to both bulbs while the one red goes to one bulb and the one blue goes to the other. My new ballast is fine on the pair of blue and red on one end but it only has 2 yellow coming out the other instead of the red, blue, and yellow the old one has. I'm assumming I should take the red and blue wires and combine them with one of the yellow wires and then leave the other yellow wire going to the old yellow one. Am I correct? Heres the diagrams to help.

By-passing motion sensor

Is there a way to by-pass the motion sensor on one of those lights? [url=http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/3/HouseHome/Lighting/OutdoorSecurityLighting/PRD~0524041P/Motion+Sensor+Floodlight.jsp?locale=en]Motion Sensor Floodlight | Canadian Tire[/url] I'd like that light to be on a regular light switch and by-passing the motion sensor. I tried the quick ON OFF but it doesn't work since there's already a light that triggers the sensorRead More
