Let’s Talk Landscape Lighting Safety
Moisture and electricity don’t mix, so low-voltage wiring for outdoor lighting requires extensive expertise. Low-voltage refers to systems that operate at 12-24 volts, which is much safer than standard household voltage (120V).
It’s always important to be cautious when working with electricity, which is why you and the Launch Systems team should always follow these basic tips before working on any part of a landscape lighting system:
- Turn off the power.
- Use GFCI outlets to protect yourself from ground faults.
- Bury wires properly to avoid damage from lawn mowers and other equipment.
Planning for Low-Voltage Outdoor Lighting
No matter the size of your property, strategic planning is essential. Wiring, components, placement, and other considerations must all be taken into account. Here are a few questions to ask yourself (or our planning team will ask) before purchasing or installing equipment:
Decide What You Want To Illuminate
This will help you determine the type and number of lights you need.
Choose a Transformer
The transformer will convert the 120V household current to the lower voltage needed for your lighting. Make sure the transformer is rated for the total wattage of your lights.
Select your Lights
Many types of low-voltage lights are available, such as path lights, spotlights, and floodlights. Selections should be weatherproof and have the appropriate brightness and beam angle.
Plan The Layout Of Your System
Sketch out where you want to place the lights and transformer. Be sure to keep the wires in mind and avoid running them through areas where they will be damaged. When you work with Launch Systems, we work together with other subcontractors to ensure every detail is in place so we can successfully execute your dream backyard experience.
Installing Landscape Lighting
With the layout mapped and safety measures in place, our team embarks on the methodical task of trenching. Think of it as creating secure highways for your low-voltage currents, each trench precisely six inches deep. Carefully, we guide the wires toward their destinations with ample slack near each light fixture for future adjustments. Finally, waterproof connectors and heat shrink tubing forge the bonds between wires and lights, ensuring a seamlessly functional system.
Besides an excellent lighting design and installation, here are a few more landscape lighting tips to consider:
- Use LED lights for energy efficiency and long lifespan.
- Consider adding a timer to your system so you can automatically turn the lights on and off.
- Landscape lighting can be a great way to improve the safety and security of your home, as well as make your outdoor space more enjoyable.
