Low voltage outdoor lighting

Landscape Lighting Experts

People never forget to consider their home’s interior lighting options for style and practical needs, but when it comes to a home’s outdoor space, the details of landscape lighting often go overlooked. 

Cost-effective landscape effects with maximum impact
Low voltage landscape lighting is a highly cost effective way to put the finishing touches on a home for added elegance and safety. As you’ve likely seen from some of Denver’s striking neighborhoods, adding a number of well placed spot lights effectively highlights the key features of a well-designed space while also adding a warmer welcome when coming home after dusk and during the shorter days of winter months. Step lights can prevent trips and slips in the dark, and spot lights can also deter would-be prowlers from nearing your home in the wee hours. 

The results of landscape lights are dramatic, offering maximum impact from whatever budget you have. From LED spot lights to deck lights, flood lights, path lights, and submersible pool lights, we consult on how to elevate your space to the next level. 

How outside lighting works: 
Arterra and most professional landscape companies now primarily recommend installing all LED lights over the halogen bulbs previously used. Landscape lights run on a low voltage system in the same way that conventional car batteries do. A small transformer plugs into an outdoor wall socket and converts your home’s 110 volt electric current into the needed 12 voltage rating necessary to safely keep your home lit through, clouds, clear skies, rain, snow or hail (hooded or capped light fixtures are a great option in hail prone regions like the Front Range). 

​​
More efficient lighting
While typically more expensive to purchase upfront, LED bulbs utilize less energy (just around 3 watts) and offer much greater system efficiency with brighter, more effective lumens, and a longer lifespan. You can operate more fixtures on a lower wattage transformer. 

 Unique and custom offerings
While outdoor lighting may not provide quite the same myriad of options as indoor lighting fixtures, homeowners can still easily customize their outdoor living space with unique lights. Explore our Arterra Landscape Design/Build Pinterest for more ideas.

It's good to know that you can get lights for your yard that aren't too high in voltage. That seems like a good way to save money in the long run. I'll be sure to get a professional to install them for me so that they end up being water tight.

It got me when you said that LED lights are recommended since they will be able to run on a low voltage system as the cars have. I will definitely have custom LED lights in my backyard because of that so that I will not have a lot to worry about regarding my electricity bills. I just needed additional lights in the backyard because I tripped twice already at a dim part where there is a step.

Thanks for pointing out that we have a highly cost-effective option for lighting because of low voltage landscape lighting. I hope that I can know my options by talking to a professional now that we need an outdoor lighting installation as soon as possible. It's for our security now that we moved into this new home we bought which has a wide backyard.
