Landscape lighting is an affordable way to improve the appearance of your home after dark. It also makes your property safer by illuminating paths and stairways. Exterior lighting also deters thieves and vandals by lighting up dark corners and giving them no place to hide. Landscape lighting installation even helps you get more out of your backyard, allowing barbecues and parties to last well after dark.

What Voltage Is Outdoor Lighting?
The key to every low-voltage outdoor lighting system is to install a transformer. This device plugs into a 20-amp GFCI-protected outdoor outlet and converts your home’s standard voltage from 120 volts to 12 or 14 volts. The step-down in power makes landscape lighting safer and more cost-effective. If you don’t have a suitable GFCI outlet to plug in a transformer, you’ll need a licensed electrician to install one.
To figure out how many landscape lights you can use on a single transformer, assess the wattage ratings of the transformer and the lights you want to use. For instance, if you plan to set up 10 landscape lights, each of which uses 20 watts, you need at least a 200-watt transformer. Be aware that cool, quiet electronic transformers can only power up to 300 watts. You’ll need a larger, more powerful magnetic one to power up to 1,200 watts on a single transformer.
Elements of Outdoor Landscape Lighting Design
While it’s possible to install your own basic landscape lights, it’s difficult to achieve stunning effects and permanent fixtures unless you hire a landscape lighting designer and installer. At Reliable Electrical Services, we can map out a professional plan that considers your home’s unique architectural and garden features.
We can hardwire well lights to illuminate tree canopies, floodlights to emphasize garden fountains, tree-mounted downlights to bathe your patio in a mood-setting glow, and much more. Our careful designs and skilled installation work provide the best possible results. We’ll recommend the right light fixtures, bulbs, and installation locations to maximize the outcome and minimize maintenance requirements.
