The Benefits of Low Voltage Landscape Lighting

"I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day." - Vincent Van Gogh


Many low voltage night lights are energy efficient and will be powered by electricity in the range of 12-volts. This kind of lighting system offers lots of benefits and they are widely used throughout residential landscapes. Low voltage lighting systems can also be used outside of a commercial building's exterior as it can offer a high-quality brilliant luminance around the property, which is unique and cost-effective. So, what are the main benefits of low voltage landscape lighting?


9 Benefits of Use:


Energy Efficient

New lighting fixtures will almost certainly be LED. LED bulbs use about 20% of the

energy required of an incandescent bulb.

Cost Saving

You will get lots of additional savings benefits by using low voltage lights as these lights consume much less energy, last much longer and at the same time provide superior illumination as compared to any other lighting option.

Minimum Heat Contribution

12V LED lights will not get over heated or burn up like other incandescent or halogen bulb fixtures and will remain pretty cool outside ever after long hours of running since they produce a minimum amount of heat to the surroundings as well.

Longer Life Span

Most of the lower voltage lights, particularly LED lights, can last almost sixty times longer as compared to the older halogen or incandescent bulb lighting systems.

Safer Option

These lights are run at lower voltage power consumptions so they are much safer to install and use, as compared to other varieties of 120V lighting options. They will not impose any risk of getting electrocuted when exposed to moisture.

Versatile

Lights using low voltage power connections will be relatively smaller as compared to all other types of 120-volt lights including incandescent bulbs. We are able to place lighting fixtures in tight areas that wouldn't be possible with 120-volt fixtures.

Worry-Free Security

Any burglars will easily be discouraged to enter a well-lit home or business when exterior lights are in place as compared to any house which is barely illuminated or dark.

Environmentally Friendly

We are all trying to do our part to improve energy conservation. Low voltage lighting saves energy, helping with the conservation goals needed to prevent using up our valuable energy resources.

Easy to Install

It is much easier to install outdoor low voltage lights when you don’t have to worry about serious risk or injury from high voltage electricity currents. Since there is no risk of getting electrical shock with these 12V lights as compared to high voltage lighting systems, you can install any of these energy efficient and sustainable low voltage lighting fixtures around your homes, landscapes or businesses safely while sleeping easy at night with an improved security and ambiance.
