Year-End Maintenance Pass on FX Landscape Lighting

Dust and hard-water spots on lenses cut output more than people expect. A soft cloth and the right cleaner (nothing abrasive on brass finishes) brings levels back without buying new lamps.

Wiggle-test connectors at each fixture. Intermittent flicker is almost always a connection, not a failed LED engine. While you are there, confirm stakes are still vertical after freeze-thaw heave.

Log transformer load after any add-ons this year. If you are above ~80% of capacity, talk about a second unit before spring entertaining season.
