Low Voltage Landscape Lighting
Low voltage lighting is a type of landscape
lighting that uses 12 volt electrical
instead of the 120 volts delivered by
regular household current. These 12-volt
systems do not require an electrician to
install which makes them safe, easy to work
with, and thus popular with homeowners.
Another benefit is that light fixtures can
be added and adjusted while the system is
plugged in and turned on. Low voltage
landscape lighting kits are generally
affordable and available in most hardware
and building centers. That said,
professionally installed and designed low
voltage systems using higher grade
components will give you lasting
satisfaction that stands the test of time.
Why Install Low Voltage Lighting?
- Security High voltage
floodlights leave dark shadows and
unseen areas around a property. A better
choice is strategically placed low
voltage lights that provide low levels
of even illumination.
- Safety Low Voltage lighting
is the ideal choice for illuminating
walkways and entranceways. This ensures
that residents and visitors can safely
navigate around the property.
- Usability Illuminating the
private areas of a property allow the
evening enjoyment of decks, sitting
areas, and recreational spaces.
- Beauty Low voltage lighting
accentuates the shapes and textures of a
landscape and its structures. Lighting
designers not only paint pictures with
light, they create dramatic scenes that
give the viewer a dynamic experience of
the property.
- Economy Low voltage lighting
consumes about 1/3 the electricity
compared to high voltage systems and is
far less expensive to install.
