Built to live outsideThe PICO is a small, sealed directional spotlight in a black finish, rated IP65 against dust and water jets — the level you want for a fixture sitting in a garden bed that gets rain, irrigation spray and snow load. It is rated to operate from -25ºC ~ +60ºC, which covers a real Canadian year from a January cold snap to a July heatwave on a south-facing brick wall. The head adjusts so you can set the tilt precisely on site, and the included aluminum spike lets you push the fixture straight into soil, mulch or a planter without brackets or concrete. Because the body stays compact, the fixture reads as a small dark object during the day and disappears behind hostas, shrubs or ornamental grasses.
Light quality and beam controlEach fixture produces 300 lumens from a 3 watt LED — a deliberate amount of light for accent work, where the goal is contrast rather than flood coverage. The 45º projection angle keeps the beam tight enough to hold a column, a tree trunk or a sign panel, and wide enough to graze texture across stone, stucco and brick. This SKU is the 4000K neutral white version: it renders masonry, aluminum and metal signage cleanly and keeps green foliage looking alive rather than yellow. The fixture is dimmable, so a scene set for a dinner party can be dropped back to a quiet late-night level using compatible dimming on the low-voltage system.

Wiring, power and installationThis is a low-voltage DC fixture, so it must be fed from a suitable 12V - 24V DC supply sized for the total load of the run — with a 3 watt draw per head, a single outdoor power supply can carry a full accent layout. The
Luvia 100W outdoor power supply is a natural match for feeding a
LED landscape lighting circuit, and a low-voltage system is friendly to timers, photocells and smart plugs for automatic dusk-to-dawn operation. Practical tips: set the fixture back from the trunk or the wall rather than tight against it, test the aim after dark before you backfill, and leave a service loop of cable at every location so fixtures can be repositioned as plantings mature. Keep connections above grade in a protected splice where possible, and re-check the tilt each spring after the frost has moved the beds.
Applications, companions and documentationHomeowners use it for tree uplighting, wall washing on stone and brick, lighting a house number or a garage facade, and defining steps and retaining walls. Contractors and small businesses reach for it for
outdoor sign lights, patio and terrace accents, hotel and restaurant entrances, and flag or monument lighting. Mix it with wider, softer sources for depth: the
Scoop landscape lighting (12-24V) for low glow along a walkway, the
Luna LED outdoor light for ambient fill, or the
Pico LED outdoor spotlight V2 where a second form factor suits the site. The full technical PDF for LCAP-PICO12-24V3W-4000K, with the dimensional drawing and the complete spec table, is available in the Documentation tab of this page.
