The Jenson is a classic mushroom-style border light ideal for pathways, landscape beds, and low-illumination applications where subtle, visually comfortable lighting is desired. The LED version is available in three white kelvin temperatures—2700K, 3000K, and 4000K—as well as 5000K, and also offers a true amber option specifically engineered to meet wildlife safety requirements. With a lumen output of 300 lumens, this accent light provides controlled, low-level illumination suitable for both functional and decorative applications. Its design is particularly suited for wet-location environments, and the fixture carries cETLus certification, meeting rigorous laboratory testing standards in accordance with UL-1598 and UL-8750.
Constructed for durability and aesthetic appeal, the Jenson is available in aluminum or brass. The aluminum version features a body, cap, reflector, stem, and mount machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, with a spun aluminum hood, while the brass version is similarly crafted from machined brass components with a spun brass hood. In both options, the lens is cut from heat-strengthened borosilicate glass, offering superior clarity and strength. The reflector top is carefully designed to provide maximum light distribution, and the field-replaceable lens allows for easy maintenance or color filtering, which is secured by a removable stainless steel clip ring. Standard finishes for aluminum include TGIC polyester powder coat, with custom finishes available upon request, while brass finishes include three standard options with a protective polyurethane clear coat, also available in custom variations.
The LED unit is Hydrel proprietary and replaceable, utilizing three high-output LEDs paired with an integral low-voltage AC/DC driver that operates between 11V and 14V. This design ensures near-constant light output, effectively combating voltage drop in low-voltage installations. All LEDs fall within 3 MacAdam ellipses for consistent color rendering. The fixture is dimmable using standard low-voltage magnetic dimmers, offering precise lighting control for pathways, landscapes, and accent areas. Each unit is supplied with six feet of 12/2 landscape cable, and the SDE mount style accommodates installation on any flat surface, including a Ø1-1/8” center hole suitable for up to 3/4” conduit for wiring. A separate low-voltage magnetic transformer is required for proper operation.
Applications for the Jenson LED border light span residential, commercial, and public spaces where low-level accent lighting is desired. The true amber version supports environmentally sensitive settings by reducing disruption to nocturnal wildlife. Its optical system, combined with field-replaceable lenses and optional color filters, allows designers to control both distribution and appearance, creating visually harmonious landscape or pathway illumination.
The Jenson LED border light also meets key U.S. government procurement standards. It qualifies as a domestic end product under the Buy American Act (BAA) as implemented in FAR and DFARS and is recognized as manufactured in the United States under DOT Buy America regulations. Additionally, it complies with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), making it suitable for public-sector and federally funded projects requiring domestic production compliance.
