Low voltage LED landscape lighting is a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to enhance the beauty and security of your outdoor space.
With landscape lights, you can highlight key features of your landscape, such as trees, statues, and pathways, while also adding an extra layer of safety and security to your property.
Low voltage LED lights use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and have a longer lifespan, making them an eco-friendly and economical choice.
Why Choose LEDs over Solar?
While both low voltage and solar-powered lights can be effective for outdoor lighting, low voltage landscape lighting offers several benefits over solar-powered lights from the big box stores.
-
- Longer lifespan: Low voltage lights have a longer lifespan than most solar-powered lights, which means you’ll have to replace them less often, saving you money in the long run.
- Customization options: Low voltage lights come in a wider range of styles and colors than most solar-powered lights, giving you more options for customizing the look and feel of your outdoor space.
- Brighter light output: Low voltage lights typically have a higher light output than solar-powered lights, which can provide more effective illumination for outdoor spaces.
- Consistent performance: Low voltage lights rely on a stable power source. This ensures consistent performance regardless of weather or other external factors. Solar-powered lights, on the other hand, can be affected by changes in sunlight. So they may not perform as well on cloudy days or during the winter months.
- More flexible placement: Low voltage lights are powered by a wired connections. So, they can be placed in a wider range of locations compared to solar-powered lights, which must be placed in areas with direct sunlight to function properly
DIY Tips
Before installing your low voltage lights, plan the layout of your outdoor space and determine where you want to place the lights. Consider the location of trees, shrubs, and other landscaping features, as well as the placement of your electrical source.
When selecting fixtures, be sure to choose ones that are suitable for your specific needs. Consider factors such as the size of your outdoor space, the type of lighting effect you want to achieve, and the style and design of your home and landscaping.
Everything from the color of your house to the shape of a specific shrub can affect this decision.
Proper wiring and connections are crucial for ensuring the safe and effective operation of your low voltage landscape lighting system. Make sure all wiring is properly grounded and connected to a suitable power source.
You should aim to use no more than 80% of your transformer capacity. Most importantly, use weather-resistant wiring and connectors.
