Landscape Lighting Installation & Repair

New-age, low-voltage lighting uses minimal electricity, decreasing your annual operating costs. The fact that you could be eligible for a discount on your home insurance premiums (tied back to the safety factor) makes this project a sound investment. With a vast supply of different lighting options, your local Lancaster and Lititz electrician can help you choose LED or solar-powered lights in addition to ornamental poles. Low-voltage wiring requires approximately one-tenth of the power as 120-volt lines, so it will barely make a dent in your monthly utility expenses.

How Does Accent & Security Lighting Work?

A step-down transformer is the leading electrical component and the most expensive part of every landscape lighting project. This device downgrades the 120-volt power entering your home into a safe, 12-volt source. The transformer is typically mounted outside your house with all individual lines running.   

To minimize obstruction and keep your property looking great, the electricians in Lancaster and Lititz you hire will install the low-voltage wires underground. The cable is hooked up to the lighting fixture housing. Most outdoor lights can be equipped with many different bulb types, which vary in brightness, beam width, and color. Swapping these out is quick and easy.
