Frequently Asked Questions

What is low-voltage landscape lighting?

Low-voltage landscape lighting uses a transformer to reduce standard household power to a safer 12-volt system for outdoor fixtures. It is well suited to paths, gardens, trees, patios, decks, and architectural accents. These systems are energy efficient, allow precise fixture placement, and are designed to blend naturally into the landscape rather than rely on high-voltage house-mounted lighting.
