Our verdict

A low voltage brass landscape spotlight that aims light upward at trees, walls and planting. It is outdoor only and water resistant, and the listing does not name a bulb among the included parts.

Overview

VOLT makes the Fat Boy as a low voltage brass spotlight that stakes into the ground and throws light up toward trees, walls and garden beds. A shade and mounting hardware are included, and the fixture is ready for a lamp.

Brass construction and a lifetime warranty make this a fixture meant to stay out in the weather. The limit is the supply side: it needs low voltage power, and the included components list stops at the shade and hardware.

Who it's for

Homeowners building or extending a low voltage landscape lighting run get a single brass spotlight to place where it is needed. Someone who wants an indoor fixture, or a ready-to-run light with the lamp included, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Brass body with powder coated finish
  • Ground mount for uplighting trees
  • Lifetime warranty listed
  • UL and cUL listed
Cons
  • Outdoor use only
  • Bulb not among included components
  • Water resistant rather than waterproof

Performance notes

Output depends on the lamp fitted, since the fixture takes the bulb base named in the specs, in halogen or LED form. Aiming is set by how the fixture is staked and angled, and an uplight cast from the ground lights the underside of branches and wall faces.
