Why Install Low Voltage? 

     Low Voltage(12 volt) systems are popular for landscape lighting for many good reasons. 
 Low voltage systems are perfect for creative highlighting of trees, gardens, artwork and other
 landscape features. Low voltage fixtures are easy to install.  Low voltage cable can be buried 
 in a shallow trench, run through conduit or buried underground. 

     A low voltage Lighting system is flexible. You can easily move fixtures to accomodate plant
 growth or to change 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. Lamps do use less 
 wattage and may not have the brightness of 120 volt, higher wattage lamps.

       The first step in designing any lighting system is to determine what you want the light 
 to do for you. Walk around your property, look out your windows and doors, and think about the
 kind of mood you would like to create. Look for possible focal points for dramatic accent 
 lighting or plan for soft but safe pathway lighting. Create romantic shadows with subtle 
 moonlighting or make entertainment areas come alive with bright party lighting.

      Next; review the techniques of accent lighting. Select the technique you feel best 
 achieves the mood you with to create. Some light will "spill" from the accent areas. 
 Work outward from these accent points to fill in areas with path or spread lighting. 
 Balance and subtlety are key tools in path and spread lighting. Try out different techniques,
 and have fun discovering the beauty of your yard at night. Be sure that when you place your
 fixtures they will not interfere with lawnmowers, traffic or be a source of irritating glare
 inside your house or to your neighbors. 

       Once you have developed your lighting plan, select the style of fixture and lamps that best fit your
  needs. Remember, sometimes less is more...you do not need high levels of illumination coming
  from individual fixtures. Instead, use several fixtures at lower wattages for better effect.
