120V Landscape Lighting

You can install line voltage landscape lighting if you have basic electrical knowledge. Although most 120 volt outdoor lighting involves straightforward installation, we recommend consulting a professional electrician to confirm compliance with local regulations, especially with larger landscape lighting projects. Our Lighting Academy resources can also help answer your questions.
