Tips
Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting can add value and enjoyment to your property. Inexpensive landscape lighting can be set up by the do-it-yourselfer using solar stand-alone fixtures. These fixtures contain photocells that turn the lights on after dark. They also include batteries for storage. These lights are relatively inexpensive and easy to install without the need for an electrician. They require some maintenance and the amount of light they provide is limited by the amount of sunlight available and by the low wattage. More reliable landscape lighting needs to be hardwired and connected to an electrical source. If you are remodeling or constructing a new building, your exterior landscape lighting should be considered as you design your overall project. It is a good idea to install a conduit to a junction box for a central location for landscape lighting.
