FAQs
WHY INVEST IN AN OUTDOOR LIGHTING SYSTEM?
It’s an easy project that adds beauty, value and security, and doesn’t take a lot of time.
Low-voltage lighting systems are safe to install because they use a step-down transformer to change your home’s 120-V electrical supply to 12 V for light illumination and the voltage level is significantly lower than a standard electrical outlet. Typically, an inexpensive lighting choice, it only requires some yard digging to hide the wires. Because the wires are not high-voltage, you simply hide them just underneath the soil, mainly for aesthetic reasons.
If you need to move the lighting around for a landscape redesign, the wires easily lift out of the soil for rapid reorganization.
IS FUTURE EXPANSION OF MY SYSTEM POSSIBLE?
YES! It’s not necessary to illuminate everything in your yard, so decide which areas are the highest priorities. Begin closest to the house, since that is where most activities take place. However, expanding to the system is always possible! PRO Landscape Lighting, Inc. will install a transformer that is larger than your immediate need, making future expansion easy!
WHY LED BULBS?
Low voltage LED light bulbs often outlast line voltage light bulbs.
LED bulbs are used to save energy. Additionally, LED bulbs provide options over your lighting levels, offering both aesthetic and financial benefits.
Experienced electricians claim that low voltage LED lighting produces a “crisper beam” than line voltage bulbs.

WHY DO WE RECOMMEND A TIMER?
A timer turns the lights on and off at specific times. This is a benefit and convenience all in one. The timer saves money by having the lights on only during specific hours while offering the convenience of automatic start and shut off each night.
WHAT KIND OF REPAIRS AND/OR ADJUSTMENTS MIGHT BE NEEDED?
- Replace bulbs if not working.
- Lights need to be adjusted or re-positioned.
- Lights come on at the wrong time.
- Light fixtures not working due to wire connection or fracture.
- Clock time not working.
- Light fixtures have been physically damaged.
