Those looking to make their homes more energy-efficient and eco-friendly not only have an option when it comes to outdoor lighting, but they have a choice as well.  Low-voltage and solar outdoor lights are becoming more and more popular everyday.  If you’re wondering which would be best for your home, we’d like to offer this assessment from this post on the Home and Garden Wisdom blog.
Solar
Solar lighting is a breeze to install and maintain.  No wiring is needed and the LED bulbs rarely need replacing.  You just have to anchor the lights in the ground, and make sure the solar panels don’t get covered up.  Their drawback is that they don’t provide the best light or cover much area, and if the spot you need illuminated doesn’t get a lot of sun during the day, solar lights will be pretty useless.
Low-voltage
The pros and cons of low-voltage lights are pretty much the opposite of solar.  You’ll get all the light you need from low-voltage lights in any area around your home.  However, the wiring these lights need makes them a little more difficult to install, especially if they’re spread over a wide area.

We can take the hassle out of the installation, so that you can have the best of both worlds:  superior lighting for you home with no fuss.  Contact us, and we’ll work with you to choose which lights will work best, plan out where they’ll go, and install them on your property.
