I love my night lighting at home. I have over 80 lights show casing path ways, up lighting for trees, and lighting showcasing my small water feature as well as some directional lights for various objects we want to high light. I even have a street light in my woods along a path I converted to low voltage.
All the lights are incandescent low voltage lights. It it stunning spring, summer, fall and especially winter when it starts snowing.
This last year led lights have led the way in our lighting projects we have installed. They have perfected the color ranges to ensure a more natural light emitting from the fixtures. Led bulbs last up to 17 years, so changing bulbs every every couple of years is not in the program any more. They use less wattage which also allows for more lights per transformer. With led lights up can also mount lights much further from the transformer and not have voltage drop, which is a slight problem with the incandescent bulbs. The issue right now with led is the cost per fixture. Prices are dropping quickly , like what we experience with most electronics prices. Once they start mass producing, prices drop. Landscape lighting for your home is a mood setter and really compliments your landscape in the evening, and enhances security.
