    I am looking for a string of lites that Portfolio makes. I purchased three strings at Lowe’s, but I need four and cannot find them anywhere. They have ten wicker balls along a green power cord.

    I recently purchased a Portfolio Outdoor 300 watt Magnetic Power Pack (transformer). It came with a thin fiber cable with identical plugs at each end. At the bottom of the power pack there is an instruction that reads: “Photo eye hole. Please plug in the Light. Trasmitting Fiber”.

    Can anyone please tell me what the cable is for? Does one end plug into the hole at the bottom of the transformer and, if so, where does the other end plug into.

    Thank you.

      The cable is the eye for the light sensor. The one end doesn’t plug into anything. You place it so that it senses when sunlight is starting to fade so the unit knows when to turn on.

    Yes, one end plugs into the transformer, the other end needs to be somewhere that will pick up light & dark. It is the cable that will turn your lights on at dusk and off at dawn.

      The plug and cord are made to connect to a photo sensor to allow the lights to turn on at dusk.

      I did not see the part in Lowe’s online catalog, but finding something on the site is a pain sometimes.

    Looking for Bubble Glass globe for a item #0329397. Contacted Portfolio’s parts company and they no longer stock them despite the fact that I only bought them in June from Loew’s. Broke one with shovel in the dumb Halloween snow storm. It’s a post type sidewalk light. Help Please.

      I am looking for a piece of glass for Portfolio 10.37-in W White Outdoor Flush-Mount Light purchased at Lowe’s – Item # 255321 Model # FOC8012AH-2 WH-9. When changing the light bulb, one piece of glass fell out and broke. Is there any place where I can order/purchase one piece of replacement glass? Also, is there a different way to change the light bulbs? Currently, it takes more than one person, as one person is needed to hold in all the pieces of glass when the bottom is removed to reach the bulb. Thank you.

    Bought the Porfolio 300 W transformer with photo eye two months ago. Everything worked fine up until a week ago. The automatic feature (photo eye) has quit working. Can operate maually, but that is not why I bought this product. Any resolutions other than returning the product? Can I return the photo eye cable?

    Bought 4 of the 60W 4 spotlight sets. Put 6 10W fixtures on the run in the front of the house. Did fine for 2 months, then died. Put 2 sets under deck…4 10W fixtures each. This set up worked for 4 weeks then, one by one the lights have gone out. Only have 2 left. Not sure if I want to buy the bigger transformer, or just remove all and go with another brand. Thought?

    I purchased 2 Wall Lanterns Item #253846 Model #DC205C-05-17 at Lowes 2011. I understand the item is no longer being sold. I wouldd like to purchase 1 more for an outdoor wall-needs to be the same. I am also missing 1 finial from the top of one lantern. Salesperon told me to contact manufacturer – that you may have parts. These 2 lanterns are motion sensor. Can I turn off the motion sensor and just use the manual switch for on amd off.

    Looking for a contact number for portfolio to see if parts are available for some outdoor lighting I purchased from Lowes 3 years ago. Lowes no longer stocks the pathway lights I bought and I need to replace several sockets that have rusted out and the bulbs will no longer stay in. They are the lantern style that are on a shepherds hook, they have the 11w bulb.

    I have a portfolio 600w transformer. When turned on, the lights go on and off, and will not stay on. It only happens when it rains so I isolated each zone of lights without success. Is it safe to assume that the system is shorting out?

    I recently purchased 4 low voltage lights Model # 03008217. I couldn’t get two of them to work. So I took those to back to Lowe’s. They only had one left in stock so I took that one and I was able to make it work. I then drove to the next county (30 miles away) to purchase a fourth light. I found one at the Lowe’s store. I purchased it and brought it home. I’ve tried for 2 days to make this light work but I can’t do it.
    I’m going to take it back and exchange it for another one. I hope it works.
    I’ve been using low voltage landscape lights for many years, mostly Malibu. These lights I have bought from Portfoli are the worst I’ve ever encountered. I will never spend my money on this brand again. Further I will warn everyone I can of the difficulties I experienced with the Portfoli brand.

    Debbie McPeak looking for a globe for her wall mount oval light. Call Portfolio at 1-800-643-0067. I was looking for the gasket that goes on the globe and Lowes still carries the light but probably not the same manufactorer that you originally purchased. But the lights are the same size so the globes are interchangable. I bought a light @$12.00. I had issues with the globes way back when. They invariably cracked due to the bulb heat. I now only use 15 watt bulbs.

    I have a 6 LED low voltage landscape lighting kit (system?) that has been in use for at least 4-5 years. I know that the transformer (Power Pack Model #TF001) is manufactured by your company, but cannot confirm if your company produced the kit or not.

    What I’m looking for is the LED replacement bulbs. They were produced by Innovative Electronic Solutions, #LEO160AC070B0. Through their WEB site, I tried to contact them, but no one returns my calls (I can find no E-mail address either.)

    Can you help me out?

    Last year I bought a Portfolio LED Landscape Kit Model # WT-S46-4BZ. The original kit came with 4 lamps and a 40 watt power supply. I installed it using the 18 G wire that was supplied with the first lamp 10 ft from the power pack and the others approximately 6 to 8 ft apart. The total length that was used is approximately 70 ft. All of the lamps lit initially but within a reletively shot time, the last light went out and the 7th grew dim. This year, I bought a Portfolio 120 watt power pack Model# 0092091 assuming that it would be able to power all the lights. There has been no change. Six lights still burn brightly, the 7th dim and the 8th not at all. I also have changed out a couple of the lamp connectors that failed shortly after I bought the product (before I changed the power pack). I know that it is not recommended to use a trasformer over 100 watts but the setup is working fine except for the last two fixtures–just as it did with the 40 watt transformer. So I have two questions; why aren’t the last two lights lighting and is there a better connector for the lamps?

When we tried to put it on the next day it would not light. It would only flicker.

Lowes and Home Depot in our area have no parts to repair these fixtures — all they want to do is sell you a new one!! Are these sockets available for separate purchase?? I’m tired of paying $20 for a light fixture when all I need is one small part!! Please reply. Thanks.

    Purchased a Portfolio 8 pc. outdoor solar light set about 3 months ago. One of my lights does not go on at night. I pulled rechargeable battery that came with set and put on my battery charger. My charger says battery is okay. I switched out a battery from one of my other lights that does work and that battery works in the light that wasn’t working, so I know it isn’t a bulb, but must be the battery. I am having a difficult time finding a replacement rechargeable battery. Lowe’s (where I purchased) did have Portofolio batteries, but they were either too long or too fat to fit in my light. I don’t see anything here on your website where I can purchase replacement batteries. Please advise where I can buy replacement batteries.

      I’m sure this web site is not affiliated with Sears/Lowe’s, the company that distributes the Portfolio product line. The reason why people even come here is because Lowe’s themselves do not care one bit about supporting the product and have no way of submitting queries like these on their web site. They expect us to throw out old lights/accessories and just buy new ones after a couple of years. It’s called planned obsolescence.

      Switching to other brands is unfortunately our only recourse.

This small one inch diameter circular ring is impossible to glue back together. Can you send me a replacement? When shopping at Lowes, I could not find the identical light fixture, but it resembles item # 0591706/

    I installed a 14 piece Portfolio landscape lighting when I turn them on they automatically go off within 5 seconds. Any idea why? Wondering if maybe my outlet can’t handle all 14 lights could this be my issue?

    Either our dogs or the deer have knocked broken the stakes on our landscape path lights.
    The lights are #0306431. Would you please let me know how we could obtain new stakes for these lights. We need at least 5 of them.

    Thank you

    Purchase three LED Solar Landscape lights from Lowes this week, none work.. LED Solar lamps need to be recharged once every few (three max) months, if not done the rechargeable batteries will drain and not be able to be recharged. These lamps seem to be old stock that has sat on the shelf forever… not good.

    I bought 4 lights and 1 transformer. I have them set up with 2 light strings of 2 lights each plugged into the tranformer. The lights have worked great for several weeks. the lights come on at dusk, I have them set for 4 hours, so they go off around 11pm. 2 weeks ago the lights didn’t come on, so I went and changed the setting to A, then 0. The lights came on. I put the setting back on 4, and after a few seconds the lights came on again and stayed on 4 hours. They have been good since. Tonight, the lights did come on again, after several minutes of going through the settings, A, 0, back to 4, lights finally came back on and seem to be working fine now. What is going on? They have power, number is on when lights are off. They all work when they are working, seems like there is no reason why they shouldn’t work. Help

    It would seem the bottom line is not to purchase any Portfolio lighting due to absence of customer service and parts. Too bad. Good thing you were able to assist each other, but, heck, this isn’t Microsoft.

    The 1-800-643-0067 number to call for PORTFOLIO Outdoor Landscape Light Kit is not working correctly. When I dial 1 for PORTFOLIO products it just keeps repeating the lineup of choices. I pressed 8 for all other brands and it still continues to keep repeating itself. Is there another phone # I can call? I need to order a Diffuser for ITEM # 0104292. (Oklahoma high winds!) Thank you, Darbie LaFontain

    The portfolio website is poor at best! It absolutely needs a SUPPORT area to help customers with issues and to reduce returns! I recently purchased a 300 watt transformer. The ‘dusk to dawn’ feature does not work. After an hour of troubleshooting to resolve the issue, back it goes…I will try getting a good unit one more time.

    I bought a 120w power pack and 2 wall washers at Lowe’s. The power pack only works in the On position. I want the automatic setting. I exchanged the power pack. The new unit has the same problem….

    Why no user manuals on this site? Getting an alternating 1,E on the transformer. But there is no info on users guides, manuals, zip!
