Low Voltage Landscape Lighting

Light Up Your Property's Best Features

Well-placed landscape lighting transforms your home's exterior after dark, making it more welcoming, more secure, and more beautiful. Low voltage systems deliver all of that at a fraction of the operating cost of standard outdoor lighting.

How Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Works

Low voltage landscape lighting runs on 12-volt power supplied by a transformer connected to a standard outdoor outlet. The transformer steps down your home's 120-volt current to a safe 12-volt level that travels through low-profile cable to each fixture. Most systems include a built-in timer or photocell that turns lights on at dusk and off at dawn automatically — no switches to remember.

What We Can Light

Every property is different. Joel Watsky Electric will work with you to identify the areas that will benefit most from landscape lighting.

What to Expect During Your Consultation

Your consultation is designed to help plan a landscape lighting layout that fits your home, your property, and your goals.

1. Walk the Property

We review your home's exterior, landscaping, and existing outdoor outlets to understand what's possible.

2. Identify Lighting Goals

We discuss which areas are most important to you — safety, curb appeal, entertaining, or all three.

3. Plan Fixture Placement

We recommend fixture types and locations to achieve the look and function you're after.

4. Provide a No-Obligation Estimate

You receive a clear estimate covering fixtures, transformer, cable, and installation.

5. Schedule Installation

Once you're ready, we install the full system cleanly and efficiently — including burying cable and setting up the transformer timer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does installation take?

Most residential landscape lighting installations are completed in a single day. The timeline depends on the size of the property and the number of fixtures being installed.

Do I need to have an outdoor outlet already?

The transformer requires a standard outdoor GFCI outlet. If you don't have one in the right location, Joel Watsky Electric can install one as part of the project.

Can the lights be added to or adjusted later?

Yes. Low voltage landscape lighting systems are easy to expand. Additional fixtures can be added to the existing cable run as long as the transformer has sufficient capacity.

Are LED fixtures available?

Yes. We install LED landscape lighting fixtures, which last significantly longer and use even less energy than traditional low voltage halogen bulbs.
