This question comes up often when talking to potential customers about landscape lighting and honestly, it is not a simple one-word answer. There are many factors separating 120-volt from 12-volt lighting. One of the most important differences for an installer is that you must be a licensed electrician to handle 120-volt fixtures but not 12-volt lighting. 12v LED lighting uses a transformer to step down from 120v to 12v making it much safer to handle.
As a consumer, this is probably the first question you want answered when considering landscape lighting. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. I wish I could just tell someone that it is always a set $300 per fixture but it just does not work that way. There are many different factors that contribute to the cost.
If you are thinking about adding outdoor lighting to your home, you will have to decide between a drop-in or integrated fixture. What does this mean, and which is better? We will give you some pros and cons of both and let you decide!
