Product Overview
The Hinkley 1518SK-LL Atlantis is a 22-inch-tall low-voltage path light with a satin-black finish, an angular minimalist profile, and a shielded etched lens that directs illumination toward the ground. Its narrow 1.75-inch body and 6.5-inch-wide horizontal head suit contemporary landscapes where the fixture should provide useful walkway light without adding a bulky decorative silhouette. The aluminum construction is wet rated for outdoor exposure, and a ground spike and wiring kit are supplied for installation in compatible landscape areas.
This socketed fixture includes one EA-LMW-1.5W2 mini-wedge LED lamp rated at 1.5 watts, 2700K, 150 lumens, and 80 CRI. Hinkley lists an estimated lamp life of 40,000 hours and an electrical load of 2.3 volt-amps. The fixture operates on a 12-volt landscape-lighting system and requires a transformer, sold separately unless the listing specifically states otherwise. Dimming is supported when the system uses compatible magnetic low-voltage control on the transformer primary. The included 36-inch lead wire helps connect the fixture to the planned low-voltage cable run. The satin-black finish creates a crisp dark outline that coordinates with black architectural trim, railings, and modern outdoor hardware. Confirm the transformer capacity, fixture spacing, cable gauge, voltage drop, connector method, and installation location before ordering.

Installation and System Notes:
Use this fixture only with a compatible 12-volt landscape-lighting transformer and properly sized low-voltage cable. Account for the 2.3-VA load when calculating transformer capacity. Confirm voltage at the fixture, suitable outdoor connectors, cable routing, drainage, and stable ground-spike placement. Follow the current Hinkley installation instructions and applicable electrical requirements.
