Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave outdoor lighting in place over the winter?

It depends on the type of light and how well it’s made. High-quality LED landscape lighting or strip lighting can often be left in place, as it is not affected by the cold, it’s resistant to moisture, and it has enough heat to melt snow and ice. Some lower-quality LED lights may fail or the GFCI plug may trip. Compact fluorescent fixtures may become unreliable in cold temperatures or may fail to work at all, and incandescent lights are often easily broken by impacts like falling snow and ice.

Can I add outdoor lighting without ripping out the existing landscaping?

Yes. Low-voltage lighting can be installed in a shallow trench after the landscaping is in place. Often, it is better to plan ahead to install the proper conduit and accessories without having to work around plants and hardscape, but that is not always possible.

Will outdoor lighting increase my electric bill substantially?

It depends on the type of lighting that you install. If you choose eco-friendly lighting like LED or fluorescent lights, instead of power-hungry halogen or incandescent spotlights, the increase will be negligible, if it is noticeable at all. Today’s LED lights can be extremely bright with very little flicker, and they are available in a wide range of colors. LED spotlights are even available; they use a fraction of the energy that an incandescent light would while still producing the same light output.

Why choose low-voltage outdoor lighting?

Low-voltage LED lighting is much safer to install and use in the moist conditions of a yard. The transformer isolates the lights from the high-voltage circuits in your Maryland home, significantly reducing the risk of electrocution or fires. Plus, the thin, low-voltage wires are easy to bend around obstacles or hide in the landscaping through creative routing.
