Low Voltage Landscape Lighting

Low voltage landscape lighting is a type of outdoor lighting system designed to illuminate gardens, walkways, and other outdoor areas using a lower voltage than standard electrical systems, typically 12 volts. This system consists of a transformer that converts standard 120-volt electrical power to 12 volts, which is then distributed to various light fixtures through insulated cables.
