This video will show you how to install low voltage LED landscape lighting on your property to and achieve great results. Landscaping lights can greatly enhance the look of your property. However, hiring a contractor can be very cost prohibitive and often leads to scaled back installations to fit a lower budget. Consider that for my project, my 46 light installation cost me under $1100 in material (including 6 spare lights) versus my lowest quote from a contractor for $12,500 for a similar installation. A DIY approach will save you on the order of 80-90%. It is not the difficult and you don't have to be an electrician to perform this type of installation.

Thank you so much for the detailed plan. Most of the other videos "kind of" discuss their plans but no detail. Question: I think the one long run you mentioned that you used 14 gauge wire is I think on Transformer 1, Run 4 (Across the very top). Can you give me an estimate of the length of the run to the longest point? Did you still have about 10.9 volts or more on the last light. The there vids just say use 12 awg but it seems overkill and expensive on most runs. Thanks

The longest run was about 120 feet. The last light on the run was reading below about 9VDC with 12V at the transformer. I boosted the voltage to 14VDC to get to about 11VDC at the last light. Using 12 AWG is overkill and really not needed for LED lamps that function over a range for voltage around 12VDC.

Do you have any facts to back that up?

@@diyhomemaintenancechannel3753 those connections are not waterproof and will corrode the wiring. Real waterproof connectors are not cheap but it will make your installation last a lifetime vs what you did will cost you more $$$ in the long run.

@@DENNISLOZANO88 Yes they are and I filled them up with GE silicon and wrapped them with exterior grade electrical tape. I have used these connectors before at our other home and they have lasted over 5 years so far.

Electrical business I work with does landscape lighting frequently and over the last 5yr's I've seen loads of buried lv wire nut twisted junctions (rusty and corroded mind you) still operating fine, we've always done the same with no fancy goo filled connectors and I can't remember a single time we've had to go back to fix anything we've installed related to a bad junction caused by the elements over time w/long term customers or not so your method seems better than most. The way we install it probably won't last as long as yours but I'm willing to bet by the time any splice/junction repairs are needed the home will have typically changed ownership and/or multiple changes in lighting design will render the whole topic a moot point.
