• Useability - Illuminating the private areas of a property allows for evening enjoyment of decks, sitting areas, and recreational spaces.
• Beauty - Low voltage lighting accenting 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 a dynamic experience of the property.
• Economy - Low voltage lighting consumes about 1/3 the electricity compared to high voltage and is far less expensive to install.
• Property Value - Increasing property value is always a welcome added attraction to beautifying your home.
  Landscape Lighting is usually installed along walkways, steps, shrubs, around pools, along driveways, in trees giving it that moonlight illumination, walls against the house, statues, etc. Creative use of these lights can usually provide the most dramatic effects of your landscape lighting.

• A transformer is used to step down the 120-volt house current to just 12 volts. It should be plugged into a GFCI-protected outdoor electrical outlet. This outlet should be fitted with a "while-in-use" cover, which is an oversized plastic box that closes over and around the power cord. The transformer needs to have enough capacity to support the cumulative wattage of the lights in the system. Between fixtures, the cable is normally buried in a trench about 6 inches deep. A time clock with a photocell sensor will control the duration you choose for your lighting.

DURABLITY

Cast solid bronze fixtures are impervious to the environment. Bronze withstands corrosion better than copper, brass, steel and aluminum.
