Why are all these new landscape lighting systems low voltage systems (12 volt)?
We install Underwriters Lab (UL) listed landscape lighting transformers which convert 120 volt outlets into 12 volt taps. This source of power provides as much illumination as 120 volts... but at a fraction of the electrical cost, and the bulbs last way longer too. The lower voltage is safer to use, in that anything less then 15 volts is considered 'safe voltage' and exposure to such safe voltage won't cause physical injury.

What type of cable do you use, and how do yoiu install it?
Depending on how extensive your landscape lighting project is, we'll use 8AWG/2, 10AWG/2 or 12AWG/2 Underwriters Lab (UL) listed, outdoor, direct burial cable. Unlike many contractors, we always ibury our landscape lighting to a depth of 4-5 inches for mulch beds, and 6-8 inches for lawn areas... which lets you core aerate your lawn without fear of hitting the power cables.

What method of wiring do you use?
There are 3 primary ways to wire a landscape lighting system…
• Straight run or ‘Daisy Chain’
• Spoke or ‘Hub’
• Center feed or ‘T’
We always use the ‘T’ method, because it…
• Is the most effective
• Equalizes voltage
• Eliminates many of the problems inherent in other methods.
Problems such as…
• Uneven voltage
• Difficulty in servicing
• Attracting pests, etc.
In addition, we always ‘home run’ all our cable runs back to the transformer.

How do you make your connections?
To maintain a solid, long-lasting, and reliable connection, we only ever use silicone filled, waterproof wire nuts for all connections. They're specifically designed for outdoor use. In addition, before we bury the cable (to insure uniform voltage throughout the system) we test voltage at all splices and connections.
