Design Your Lighting


Whether you decide to use a low voltage lighting Commercial led lighting kit or buy your pieces individually, you’ll need a plan of action. Ask yourself how you want to light your yard. You can use lighting to highlight your favorite plants and features like statues, trees, or flag poles. Your emphasis could be on safety and use lights to illuminate paths, driveways, and steps. Make sure you also consider lawn maintenance like the chemicals from fertilizer can corrode your fixtures and what happens when you shovel that 5-foot snow drift. Also nothing is more disheartening than taking out a ground fixture with a weed whacker or cutting through your wiring with your lawnmower.

Lighting Tip: Avoid over lighting an area. Commercial led lighting Outdoor lights are supposed to accent your yard. Rather than illuminate everything like a sports stadium, think in terms of pools of light and allow features to stand out. Be selective.


Once you take your needs and your rampaging mower into account, Commercial led lighting  you can decide on more practical things like how many fixtures you need and the path the wiring should follow. Here are some types of landscape lights you can use:

    Pathway Lights
    Landscape Bullets (for spotlighting  trees and other objects)
    Flood Fixtures (for general uplighting or wall lighting effects)
    In Ground Well Lights
    Underwater Lighting (for ponds and fountains)

You also Commercial led lighting need a transformer or two to step down the 120 Volts coming from your house to 12 Volts for your outdoor fixtures, 100 feet or more of landscape wire, and a square-blade shovel. When choosing a transformer, it’s important to pick one that can handle the total wattage of your fixtures. For example, if you add up the wattages to Commercial led lighting of all your fixtures for a total of 200 Watts then you at least need a transformer with a maximum output of 200 Watts. If you think you might add more lights in the future then choose a transformer with a max wattage that’s 100 to 200 Watts higher than the current total wattage of your fixtures. While Commercial led lighting  are becoming a more popular choice for this kind of project, if you decide to go with traditional halogen lighting then you will to need buy a transformer with a maximum wattage of 20% more than your total wattage. That means the transformer should never be loaded with more than 80% capacity of its rated max wattage. This is called derating and helps to account for inefficiencies in the transformers.

Low voltage landscape wiring  Commercial led lighting or electrical cable comes in several numerical gauges or sizes. A lower number means thicker wire and greater capacity to carry the power current for longer distances.  Common wires for landscape lighting are 10-, 12-, 14-, or 16-gauge wires. We recommend 12-gauge or 10-gauge wire for long distances. This is to prevent voltage drop. The further you get from the transformer and its power supply Commercial led lighting, the more resistance occurs in the circuit which causes the voltage to decrease
