Why Low Voltage Landscape Lighting is the Ideal Choice for Your Property

Landscape lighting has become an essential feature for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Greater Atlanta area. Not only does it enhance the visual appeal of your outdoor spaces, but it also improves safety and increases property value.

At Bloom’n Gardens Landscape, we specialize in designing and installing low voltage landscape lighting—a smart, efficient, and safe solution for illuminating outdoor areas. Here’s why this type of lighting is the preferred choice for homeowners and businesses alike.

Understanding Low Voltage Landscape Lighting

Low voltage lighting is the most popular option for outdoor illumination due to its versatility and ease of installation. The system consists of a few key components:

• Transformer – Converts standard 120-volt household electricity into a safer 12-volt current.

• Light Fixtures – Available in various styles, including path lights, spotlights, floodlights, and underwater options for ponds or pools. LED fixtures are highly recommended for their longevity and efficiency.

• Low Voltage Cable – Connects the fixtures to the transformer, typically available in 12-, 14-, or 16-gauge thickness.

Key Benefits of Low Voltage Lighting

1. Enhanced Safety

Operating at just 12 volts, this lighting system significantly reduces the risk of electrical hazards compared to high-voltage alternatives. The fixtures are weather-resistant, making them safe even in wet conditions. Additionally, a well-lit property can deter intruders, improving security.

2. Energy Efficiency

Low voltage systems consume far less power than traditional lighting. For example, a 12-watt LED bulb can produce the same brightness as a 50-watt incandescent bulb, leading to noticeable savings on energy bills.

3. Eco-Friendly Design

Unlike some high-voltage bulbs that contain mercury, most low voltage LED lights are free of harmful substances, making them safer for the environment. They also last longer, reducing waste from frequent replacements.

4. Simple Installation & Flexibility

Since no permits are required for low voltage systems, installation is quick and hassle-free. Wires can be placed above or below ground, and the system can be easily expanded as your lighting needs evolve.
