Outdoor Low-voltage System

The first thing you need to know when choosing landscape lighting is whether your fixtures will require a low-voltage or high-voltage source. Most fixtures these days are designed to use a standard voltage. However, some fixtures may still require a low-voltage system if they have exposed bulbs. It’s also important to remember that some low-voltage systems are only suitable for outdoor use while others are designed only for inside. Outdoor low-voltage systems are more expensive, but they use less electricity so they are generally a better long-term investment.
