Q Do I need to hire an electrician to install the Wizard’s Lites?

A No! Because they are low-voltage, which virtually eliminates electrical shock. Anyone can easily run the cable and make the connections, even if they have NO prior experience.

Q Do I have to run the wire through pipe or conduit?

A No! The cable can be buried directly in the soil, hidden among plants, or laid on the ground and covered with decorative bark or gravel. You may run cable in PVC pipe if it will be subjected to damage by garden tools or machinery.

Q Can I hook CurbLites up to outdoor lights that are already in place?

A Probably not! Chances are the power supply for the existing lights is maxed out. If not and if the system is 24 volt you can add to it but be sure to check how much more wattage you can add to the power supply.

Q What if a lite bulb burns out?

Lamps are wired in series, five lamps to a series. If one lamp burns out, all lamps in the tube will go out. Replacement is as easy as replacing the tube.

Q Why do I need CurbLites in different lengths with different lamp spacing?

A Depending on the amount of money your customer wants to spend or the amount of light desired. If you have a very competitive situation or your customer wants to reduce the light in the area choose the CL 72-5 Lite. This is the least expensive and produces approximately 54% less light than the CL 48-5. You will find that the vast majority of customers wanting lighted curbs will want the CL 48-5.

Q What happens if the lite gets wet?

A Nothing! The Wizard designed the Lites for outdoor use! The tubes are sealed to withstand rain or sprinklers but are not intended for submerged installations. The internal wiring is protected from moisture inside the tube by a special coating. Elements should not affect the life of the fixture.

Q What is the Wizard's warranty program?

A The best in the industry. Copy attached.

Q How long will the Wizards Lites last?

A The Wizard’s uses Trade Secrets learned during the past 40+ years to provide a wealth of information not available to others. All connections in CurbLites are welded instead of crimped, the voltage of each Lite is carefully controlled and the Wizard uses aircraft instrumentation lamps rated at 40,000 hours. Even with all of these facts considered we can not say precisely how long a lite will last because of outside influences such as temperatures variations, vibration, etc. may vary theoretical life somewhat. We can say however that we have lights in place that have burned continuously for over ten years. Furthermore, the Wizard offers the best CurbLite warranty in the industry. Our present burn out experience is less than on half of one per cent.

Q Why does the Wizard use 24 volt.

A The use of 24-volts give more flexibility and is ideally suited to miniature bulb lighting allowing a longer life design. The Wizard’s 24 volt system also allows the use of smaller wires which are easier to work with, and easier to hide.

Q Can I plug the Wizard’s lights into a standard household wall socket?

A No! Household current (US) is 110 Volt and it will cause immediate and irreparable damage to the lites and void the warranty. Most important it will present a shock hazard.

Q My neighbor had lights installed a few month ago and they are yellow and ugly already.

What does the Wizard do to prevent this?

A Your neighbor probably has inexpensive imported light made from PVC plastic which has a tendency to yellow severely when exposed to sunlight. The Wizard uses space age, UV stabilized polycarbonite as tubing for all CurbLites. Polycarbonite is the same high quality plastic used to make bullet proof glass. The UV stabilized process prevents yellowing.

Q I recently saw some lights installed on curbing that was so bright that they took away from the effects of the surrounding landscape. Do the Wizard’s lights have the same effect?

A Absolutely not! The Wizard’s Lites are designed to decorate, not just illuminate. They provide attractive sparkles of light to accent and decorate their surroundings. A subdued, soft "glow" of illumination instead of a bright glare of light. The whole idea is to make the light itself pleasing to look at. If you are trying to brightly light an area, you should use one of the Wizard’s bright flood or spot lights.
