Low Voltage vs 120V Landscape Lighting: Which Is Better?

Choosing between low voltage and 120V lighting is one of the first decisions homeowners face.


Low Voltage Lighting (Best for Most Homes)

  • Safer
  • Energy-efficient
  • Easier installation

For most residential projects, low voltage systems provide more than enough brightness while maintaining safety.


Simplifying Your Setup

Instead of sourcing each component individually, many homeowners prefer using all-in-one landscape lighting kits that are already optimized for performance.
