When it comes to outdoor lighting systems, one of the most important decisions is whether to use low voltage or line voltage fixtures. Understanding the difference can save homeowners money, hassle, and safety concerns down the road.
What Is Low Voltage Lighting?
Low voltage systems run on just 12 volts, stepped down from standard household current through a transformer. This makes them safer to install and work around, more energy efficient, and easier to adjust or expand over time.
What Is Line Voltage Lighting?
Line voltage systems run on standard 120-volt household current, which requires more caution during installation and is typically reserved for larger security floodlights rather than accent or decorative lighting.
Why Low Voltage Is the Industry Standard
Nearly all professional landscape lighting designers, including our team, rely on low voltage systems for accent, path, and uplighting because they are safer, more flexible, and less expensive to operate over time.
