| Low-voltage 12 volt systems are becoming more and more popular for landscape lighting for many good reasons. Low-voltage systems are perfect for creative highlighting of flags, flagpoles, trees, gardens, artwork, signage and other landscaping features. Low-voltage fixtures are easy to install.
Low voltage cables can be buried in a shallow trench or even run on top of the ground if desired. It does not need to run through conduit or be buried deep in the ground. A low-voltage system is flexible. You can easily move fixtures to accommodate changes in your landscaping or desired lighting effects. Low-voltage systems are safe and energy-efficient. Transformers reduce standard voltage from 120 volts to a safe 12 volts. There is no risk of electrical shock to children or animals if the cable is accidentally cut. Low-voltage systems use less wattage, yet provide comparable performance to the 120 volt higher wattage light bulbs. |
