You can find energy-efficient LED landscape lighting in traditional or modern designs, and in ground lights cast a unique beam of light upward from wherever they are placed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-689 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Setting-up-a-landscape-light.jpg\" alt=\"Setting up a path light in a garden.\" class=\"wp-image-689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Setting-up-a-landscape-light.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Setting-up-a-landscape-light-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Setting up landscape lighting is a good idea when establishing the boundaries of an outdoor path.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The most important step is to think through what you want to achieve: Is it security? Safety along walkways? Ambient decorative lighting? Once you understand what your goals, finding the right landscape lights is easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Powering Your System: Transformer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/landscape-lighting\/usage_transformers\/\">low voltage transformers<\/a> are designated with a maximum wattage capacity. For example, a 150 watt transformer can safely provide power to a circuit demanding up to 150 watts. To start, map out your yard and how you plan to distribute your lighting &#8211; a simple sketch works. From there, you\u2019ll have a better understanding of how many lights you\u2019ll be using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each landscape light provides a maximum bulb wattage rating. Once you have your total number of lights, follow this simple formula to ensure you pick an adequate transformer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>+ Add together the combined wattage of your individual lights \u2013 for example, 5 lights each using 20 watts (5 x 20 = 100).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>x Multiply that total by 1.5 (100 x 1.5 = 150).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>= The total is the transformer size, in watts, that you&#8217;ll need &#8211; a 150 watt transformer in our example above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extra tips: Pad your numbers. There\u2019s no harm in giving yourself some room to expand on your lighting system. Purchasing a transformer with a higher maximum wattage capacity will come in handy if you want to add more lights later. And, save with LED! Transformers are priced according to wattage, so by choosing low-wattage LED lights, you&#8217;ll saveon the bost of both your transformer and your monthly electric bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting It All Together: Cables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When purchasing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/products\/landscape-lighting\/usage_wire\/\">cables<\/a> to connect your outdoor landscape lighting to the transformer, you\u2019ll want to make sure you have enough wire to run the lighting to your power source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, lay out all your components and cables. Be sure to leave extra cable running to each light so you can reposition easily, if needed. Save on cable by finding an outlet close to your lighting needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also easiest to run your cables along the ground and place the wire behind plants or lightly cover them with dirt or mulch. Doing so will allow you to readjust them if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-690 size-full\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Connecting-outdoor-lighting-plug.jpg\" alt=\"Connecting a cord into an outdoor outlet.\" class=\"wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Connecting-outdoor-lighting-plug.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/Connecting-outdoor-lighting-plug-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Connecting outdoor lighting is as easy as plugging a cord into an existing outlet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Lastly, connect all cables to your transformer, plug the transformer in, and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Extra tip: Fine tune your lighting placement by checking everything right at dusk. You\u2019ll get a sense of how everything will look at night with just enough residual daylight left to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more installation inspiration, watch this quick overview on installing landscape lighting, taken from our YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> \n\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/uW9b9g_dQZU?si=5VE_oWX2Hk478R3z\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Landscape Lighting Buying Guide &#8211; Where to Place Lights, Using Landscape Kits and More<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Landscape Lighting Ideas and Advice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/designing-a-landscape-lighting-system\/\">Designing a Landscape Lighting System<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/landscape-lighting-tips-for-getting-started\/\">Landscape Lighting \u2013 Tips for Getting Started<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/5-things-to-know-before-you-buy-landscape-lighting\/\">5 Things to Know Before You Buy Landscape Lighting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/ideas-and-advice\/all-the-extras-landscape-lighting-types\/\">All the Extras: Landscape Lighting Types<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Call at 800-782-1967 to speak with one of our friendly, professional Lighting &amp; Home Decor Consultants or visit a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lampsplus.com\/stores\/\">Lamps Plus location<\/a>&nbsp;near you.
