Landscape lighting or garden lighting refers to the use of outdoor illumination of private gardens and public landscapes; for the enhancement and purposes of safety, nighttime aesthetics, accessibility, security, recreation and sports, and social and event uses.

Landscape lighting makes your yard more stylish and even enhances the safety of your home.

Landscape lighting is low voltage and very easy to work with. To install landscape lighting, you will need a transformer that reduces your 120-volt household electricity to 12 volts, which is safer and uses less energy.

After your lights have been installed, they will need to be cleaned regularly to keep them free of debris, which can cause overheating. Find light fixtures made of copper, stainless steel, or brass for the best longevity.
