Low Voltage Lighting

At Lighting for Outdoors, we specialize in low voltage outdoor lighting. We certainly do not expect our customers to be knowledgeable about low voltage transformers and how best to utilize them, and thus we have a great staff of friendly and highly-trained lighting consultants to help you out. They can help walk you through the installation of a professional-looking low voltage lighting system.

The key to low voltage lighting is the use of a low voltage transformer. Low voltage transformers take the standard 120 volts of electricity that are running through most home circuits and transforms them into a lower level of voltage. Essentially, the electricity enters the transformer at 120 volts, but it leaves at a much lower voltage.

The big plus of using low voltage lighting, especially outside, is that it is a much safer source of electrical power. Most of us know that 120 volts is extremely deadly. If you reduce that down to 12 volts with the use of a good transformer, the danger is almost entirely eliminated. If you are in and around an area where there is exposure to the elements, this safety factor becomes extremely important.

How Many Transformers Do You Need?
Installing an outdoor lighting system need not be an intimidating proposition. The steps are fairly simple once you understand that all of the components of the system need to be exclusively designed for outdoor use. Additionally, you will need to determine how many and what type of transformers you will need for your project. At Lighting for Outdoors, our staff can help you make this determination and they can even help guide you through the installation process.
