low voltage garden light

low voltage garden light

Choosing the right lights for your garden can be a bit complicated, but if you know what you want, what to highlight in your garden, then you are at least a step forward in making the decisions she makes her beautiful garden at night.

There are some issues to consider when choosing garden lights. Below are just two of the most important of which will be asked to choose from a wide variety of garden lights:

1. Purpose.
Do you want your landscape lighting for decorative, functional, or both?
There are several types of landscape lighting that detect movement in the moment you pull into the entrance. These types of lights in the garden would be perfect for addressing security issues. Moreover, there are lights that are purely for purposes aesthetic purposes only. If you have the budget, would be fairly easy to choose the function and design at the same time, but if you are working on a number limited budget, chances are, you have to give priority to one.

2. Power supply.
Do you prefer gas, solar or Electrical lighting equipment garden?
There are different types of garden lights, but the most common are electric, solar and gas. If While these types of serving their purpose in the garden of his enlightenment, the most versatile choice is the electric light. Especially if low voltage light power can also be the most practical of all options. While they are easy to install, there are few precautions to be taken into account when setting up. The lights will be established for the garden paths must be installed in places where the strings will not be easy to tread, transformers or electrical outlets used should be housed in will not be at the mercy of any change of climate.

The combination of these two main factors that will help you more than enough in choosing the most appropriate lighting for your garden space outside. Whatever you choose, make sure you have a professional (Planning garden and / or electrician) to help shape the garden lighting.

Low voltage lighting overload?

My garden low voltage transformer lighting is rated for 150 watts. What will happen if I put 160 Watts in line? Will blow up the transformer? Breaker? Lights?

The manufacturers always recommend no more than power line as it can cause a fire hazard. Perhaps, I have not had any problems like that., My ceiling fans and lamps have the same warning I often go over the maximum of 50 watts to 60 watts per outlet and 25-watts to 60 watts per outlet and nothing happens. Your lighting system is controlled with a low voltage transformer, not as household lighting, I think it's safe to go to 160, but I advise you to not exceed more than 160.
