Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why low-voltage instead of line-voltage?
A: Low-voltage is safer, easier to install and modify, and modern LED fixtures put out plenty of light. Almost all residential outdoor lighting in NoVA is now low-voltage.
A: Quality fixtures from FX, Kichler, and VOLT are rated 25+ years for the LEDs.
A: Barely — a 50-fixture system uses about as much power as a single incandescent bulb.
A: Usually yes, if your transformer has capacity. We check before adding.
A: Yes — annual tune-ups including aiming, cleaning, and bulb replacement.
