Default Landscape lighting

In my experience landscape lighting goes out for two reasons: The light bulb fails, or more likely the saddle connector which clamps onto the main wire loses electrical contact. In this case I dig up the main wire and connector, cut it there and, using wire connectors, hard wire all connections. There are special twist-on connectors that have waterproof grease in them, but I just wrap well with electrical tape. A cheap and easy fix.
