4 Advantages of Low Voltage Outdoor Lights

Low voltage outdoor lights, such as 12 volt garden lighting, offer numerous benefits for homeowners looking to enhance their gardens, patios, and walkways. Here are some key advantages:

• Energy Efficiency: Low voltage lights consume significantly less power compared to traditional lighting systems. This not only helps reduce your electricity bill but also makes them an environmentally friendly choice.
• Safety: Operating at just 12 volts, these lights pose a minimal risk even if a fault emerges, making them safe for use around children and pets.
• Versatility: From wall lights to deck lights and post lights, low voltage lighting solutions can be used to illuminate various parts of your garden, providing both aesthetic appeal and lighting the way for you and others. They can even be used to light water features!

Types of Low Voltage Outdoor Lights

When it comes to lighting your garden, there are several options to consider, each serving a unique purpose:

• 12 Volt Garden Lighting: Ideal for creating ambient lighting throughout your garden. Our 12 volt garden lights are perfect for illuminating pathways, highlighting garden beds, and creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.
• Low Voltage Outdoor Spotlights: These are great for highlighting specific features such as statues, trees, or architectural elements of your home. Their focus adds depth and dimension to your outdoor space.
• Deck Lights: Installed directly into your decking, our deck lights provide a soft, ambient glow that ensures safety while accenting your home’s features. They are perfect for illuminating steps and walkways in your garden.
• Post Lights: Mounted on posts, these lights are perfect for marking boundaries and adding a decorative touch to your garden. They are also useful for lighting up driveways and pathways.
• Wall Lights: These can be mounted on exterior walls to provide illumination for your entrance, as well as strengthening the security of your home. They are available in various styles to match your home’s decor.

Installing 12v Garden Lights

It’s important that home electrical work is carried out by professional electricians like TS Electrical. We will guide you through every step of the process, from lighting design to installation. Here is a roadmap of what that process will look like:

1. Planning Your Layout: Before we start, our team will collaborate with you to map out where you want to place your lights. Consider the areas that need illumination, such as pathways, garden beds, and seating areas.
2. Choosing Your Fixtures: Select the type of fixtures that best suit your needs. For example, use low voltage outdoor spotlights to highlight trees and wall lights for general illumination.
3. Installing the Transformer: A transformer is required to step down the voltage from your main power supply to 12 volts.
4. Laying the Cables: We will run low voltage cables from the transformer to each light fixture. Our team are experts at ensuring the cables are unobtrusively buried underground to avoid tripping hazards and sustain your garden’s natural beauty.
5. Connecting the Fixtures: Our team will securely affix the lights and connect them to the wiring.
6. Testing the System: Before finalising the installation, we will always test the lights and wiring to ensure they are working correctly, and adjust their positions if necessary.

Low Voltage Outdoor Spotlights

Many homeowners choose to light their homes with low voltage outdoor spotlights. This lighting option ensures your home’s exterior is illuminated all year round, and is great for those that are proud of their home, and want it to stand out from the natural landscape even at night.

As these are often used year-round, it’s important to choose low voltage options so that your electricity bill is largely unaffected.
