This particular  type of landscape lighting  uses 12 volt electrical instead of the 120 volts delivered by regular household current. These 12-volt systems do not require an electrician to install which makes them safe, easy to work with, and thus popular with homeowners.  Most people can install these lights after a “do-it-yourself” class offered by local hardware stores.

Another benefit is that light fixtures can be added and adjusted while the system is plugged in and turned on. Low voltage landscape lighting kits are generally affordable and available in most hardware and building centers.  With that being said, professionally installed and designed low voltage systems using higher grade components will give you lasting satisfaction that stands the test of time.
