Low Voltage Landscape Lighting - Light Your Landscape With Less Power
Are you looking for an energy efficient way to add light to your landscaping? Consider all the benefits that low voltage landscape lighting can offer to your home.
Low voltage landscape lighting is very energy efficient. Generally requiring only 12 volts, much less than regular outdoor lighting which is around 120 volts, it does not require as much energy to burn during the night. The savings will be apparent on your electric bill. Timers can even be installed to cause the lights to come on automatically at dusk and to shut off automatically at dawn. Sensors can also be installed on path lights that cause the lighting to come on only when motion is detected. Another option you may consider in low voltage landscape lighting is solar powered. This type is actually “no voltage” since the energy it uses comes from the sun and not your home’s electricity source.

Make A Grand Entrance Of Your Front Door
You may find it difficult to believe that the days will start getting longer in the Northern Hemisphere in just four short weeks. You can find yourself this time of year coming home on dreary days, or welcoming evening visitors in the dark. It’s neither safe nor inviting. But good lighting at your front entrance gives a warm and secure welcome to any who enter.
Mention outdoor lighting at this time of year and many people think of strings of lights. But why not go for a more elegant look that will continue to be appealing throughout the winter ahead?
