Landscape lighting transforms outdoor spaces after dark — illuminating pathways, accentuating architectural features, and improving safety around driveways and entries. The electrical side is more complex than it appears: it involves selecting the correct transformer size for the total fixture load, burying low-voltage cable at the correct depth, mounting fixtures that withstand weather and irrigation exposure, and for line-voltage systems, ensuring all outdoor connections are weatherproofed and GFCI-protected. Our licensed electricians handle both low-voltage landscape systems and line-voltage outdoor lighting requiring a dedicated circuit.
Landscape Lighting Installation — Everything You Need to Know
From low-voltage to line-voltage systems and weatherproofing — here’s what homeowners need to know about landscape lighting before requesting service.
Low-Voltage vs. Line-Voltage Systems
Low-voltage landscape systems run on 12 volts from a transformer connected to a standard outdoor outlet — flexible, energy-efficient, and the most common residential landscape lighting type. Line-voltage landscape lighting runs on 120 volts directly from the panel, requires conduit burial at code-required depth, and must have all connections weatherproofed and GFCI-protected. Line-voltage systems are used where higher-output fixtures are required or where voltage drop over long cable runs would be unacceptable with low voltage.
Common Landscape Lighting Projects
Pathway lighting along driveways and garden walkways using low-voltage LED fixtures on a transformer circuit is the most frequently requested project. Architectural accent lighting that highlights trees and building facades uses directional spotlights on the same low-voltage system. Driveway and entry gate lighting at line voltage provides more output for security. Pool and water feature lighting requires specific waterproof fixture ratings and GFCI-protected circuits.
Weatherproofing Requirements
All outdoor electrical connections must meet weatherproofing requirements regardless of fixture voltage.
- All outdoor outlets require GFCI protection
- Weatherproof covers required on all boxes
- Direct-burial cable at required depth
- Transformer sized right
Installation That Lasts Outdoors
Coastal and high-humidity environments accelerate corrosion on outdoor connections and fixture hardware. We specify corrosion-resistant fixtures and connectors appropriate for site conditions, use weatherproof wire nuts and sealed junction boxes for all low-voltage connections, and test the full system after installation to confirm every fixture operates correctly.

“Fourteen recessed cans in our living room and dining room. They used attic access and didn’t open a single ceiling drywall hole. Dims perfectly with no flicker. Exactly the look we wanted.”

“No attic above our kitchen but they fished the wire through with minimal access holes. Patching was done the same afternoon and the recessed lights look like they’ve always been there.”
