SUNVIE 8 vs VOLT brass kit

Both boxes say eight, but the SUNVIE 8 is eight 12 W spotlights to wire up yourself, and the VOLT brass kit is a complete system in a higher cost tier.

SUNVIE

SUNVIE 8

8 SPOTLIGHTS · 12 W EACH · IP65

12 W COB LED at 900 lm and 3000K, glass lens in an aluminium body, head adjusts through 270 degrees. Transformer, cable and wire connectors are all separate purchases, which catches people out.

VOLT

VOLT brass kit

8 SPOTLIGHTS · 5 W EACH · UL, DIRECT-BURIAL CABLE

Eight solid-brass uplights at 5 W and four solid-brass path lights at 3 W, both 2700K, on an included 150 W low-voltage transformer with a mechanical timer, 250 ft of direct-burial cable and the bulbs. Brass rather than aluminium or plastic: it weathers to a patina instead of corroding. No app and no radio.
