FAQ's
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What is low voltage lighting, and how does it differ from standard lighting?
Low voltage lighting uses a transformer to reduce household current from 120 volts to 12 volts. It’s safer, more energy-efficient, and ideal for outdoor spaces. Unlike standard lighting, it allows for precise placement, flexible design, and produces a soft, ambient glow without harsh glare.
Is low voltage lighting safe for kids and pets?
Yes, it’s extremely safe. Operating at just 12 volts, low voltage lighting minimizes the risk of electrical shock. Even if wires become exposed or damaged, the current is too weak to harm children or pets—making it an ideal lighting solution for family-friendly outdoor environments.
How long do LED landscape lights last?
High-quality LED landscape lights typically last 30,000 to 50,000 hours. This means you’ll enjoy years of bright, reliable lighting with little to no maintenance. LEDs also maintain consistent color and intensity, making them an excellent long-term investment for your outdoor lighting needs.
Do I need an electrician to install low voltage lighting?
While not legally required, hiring a professional ensures the system is properly installed and optimized. Low voltage systems are simpler than high-voltage setups, but expert placement, safe wiring, and smart transformer use make a big difference in performance and reliability over time.
Can you install lighting without damaging my yard?
Absolutely. We use precise, low-impact trenching techniques to minimize disruption to your lawn, garden beds, or hardscaping. After installation, we carefully restore the area, leaving your property looking just as beautiful—only now, it’s perfectly lit and safer at night.
What’s the cost of a typical low voltage lighting project?
Pricing depends on the number of fixtures, property size, and design complexity. We provide detailed quotes tailored to your goals and budget. Whether simple path lighting or a full-scale architectural setup, we ensure cost transparency and long-term value in every lighting project.
Will my lights work year-round in Saint Louis weather?
Yes. We install weather-resistant fixtures and sealed connections that hold up through rain, snow, heat, and freeze cycles. Our systems are built specifically for Saint Louis’ seasonal extremes, delivering consistent, year-round performance without corrosion, shorting, or wear.
Can you add lighting to an existing landscape or outdoor structure?
Definitely, we specialize in integrating lighting into established landscapes, patios, decks, and pergolas. Our team evaluates your current layout and adds lighting with minimal disruption, enhancing your space with seamless upgrades that blend beautifully with the original design.
