Black Brass Riser Stems
The Striker riser stems provide additional height or extension for landscape fixtures without the need for a separate coupler. Designed with one ½” NPT male threaded end and one ½” NPT female threaded end, it offers quick and secure integration into existing lighting assemblies.
Ideal for use with accent and wash lights, the riser helps elevate fixtures above plant material, snow, or landscape debris—ensuring optimal light performance and minimizing the risk of damage from lawn maintenance equipment.
Constructed from brass and finished in our corrosion-resistant, matte black finish, it delivers a sleek, modern aesthetic with long-lasting durability. Compatible with any fixture featuring a standard ½” NPT threaded base.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I install the system myself?
Yes. 12V systems are designed for safe DIY installation. You’ll need a transformer, outdoor-rated wire, and fixtures. Simply connect, bury the wire just below the surface, and test. For larger systems, consulting a professional ensures perfect layout and voltage balance.
Do I need a transformer?
Yes. A low voltage transformer is essential to convert 120V household power to 12V. It also provides voltage regulation, timer control, and safety protection. Using a Striker Commercial Grade Transformer ensures stable power delivery and helps maintain consistent brightness across all fixtures.
How does voltage drop affect my lighting?
Voltage drop occurs when current travels through long wire runs, reducing light output at the end of the line. To prevent it, use thicker wire (12- or 10-gauge), keep wire runs balanced, and select a transformer with multiple voltage taps (12V–15V). Proper planning ensures even illumination across your landscape. Try our our Voltage Drop Calculator!
Are low voltage lights waterproof?
High-quality landscape fixtures are weather-sealed and rated for outdoor conditions—typically IP65 or higher. This means they can withstand rain, snow, and irrigation spray. Always ensure all connections are watertight and above grade to maintain long-term reliability.
How long do LED landscape lights last?
LEDs typically last 30,000 to 50,000 hours—that’s years of operation with minimal maintenance. They also maintain consistent colour temperature and brightness over time, unlike halogen lamps that dim or burn out frequently.
What wire gauge should I use?
For most systems, 12/2 landscape cable works best. Thicker wire reduces voltage drop and ensures consistent brightness across long runs. The proper gauge depends on fixture wattage, total distance, and transformer capacity.
