Installation and Care of your Low Voltage Lights

When looking to install low voltage lights in your outdoor space it will take a little planning. To help you I have written several posts to help you. See my Low Voltage Category here.

First I would start with planning the layout, then find out what is all needed when you do not purchase a complete kit. If you do not purchase a complete kit you will need wire, transformer, and proper wire nuts. I have a post to pick out the proper product for your outdoor space.

Very little will be needed in the care of your lights. If you have the LED light, the bulb should last the lifetime of the fixture, as they are not made to be replaced.

Regular low voltage bulbs can be replaced by taking the top off of the fixture and just pulling it out and replacing it. If the bulb still does not work check your wire connections for a loose wire or underground pest damage.

Some low voltage bulbs can be replaced with a LED replacement bulb for low voltage fixtures. These bulbs are still quite expensive.

Conclusion

You can purchase a kit or individual lights for your Low Voltage Outdoor Path Lighting needs. The kits in this post are made to work as one unit, they cannot be added too without changing the transformer. My personal opinion is to plan your layout and buy the items one at a time that will match your needs. If you only have a small area to illuminate the kits will work out fine.
