About Us

Seven years before the first iPhone was even available, our founder, John, joined his family's professional landscape lighting company. Twenty years later, John started diyLandscapeLights.com to provide the highest quality landscape lighting systems to the DIYer at a significant savings compared to hiring a contractor. We are here to help you every step of the way.

future information to integrate:

Accent lighting: Highlighting specific features like trees, statues, or architectural elements.
Path lighting: Illuminating walkways, driveways, and garden edges for safety and ambiance.
Uplighting: Placing lights at the base of an object to shine upward and emphasize its form.
Downlighting: Mounting lights high (e.g., in a tree) to create a soft, "moonlight" effect on the ground below.
Wall washing: Creating a gentle, even glow over a vertical surface like a wall or fence.
Grazing: Positioning a light close to a textured surface (like brick or stone) to create dramatic shadows and highlight the texture.
Silhouetting: Placing a light behind an object to showcase its outline against a lit backdrop.
Shadowing: Creating shadows behind an object to add depth and dimension to a landscape.
Hardscape lighting: Integrating lights into features like retaining walls, steps, handrails, and benches.
In-ground lighting: Placing lights in the ground to illuminate trees, walls, or paths.
Spotlight: A focused beam of light used for accent lighting.
Floodlight: A broad beam of light used to illuminate a large area, often for security purposes.
Path lights: Fixtures, often mounted on stakes or posts, that illuminate walkways.
Bullet lights: Small, cylindrical spotlights used for accent lighting.
Bollard lights: Short, post-like fixtures that provide illumination for paths and driveways.
Well lights: Fixtures that are installed underground and shine upwards.
Deck lighting: Lighting fixtures designed for mounting on decks, steps, and railings.
Step lights: Low-profile lights installed to illuminate stairs.
String lights: Decorative lights strung together, like classic cafe or market lights.
Underwater/pond lights: Submersible fixtures for illuminating water features.
Recessed lighting: Lights installed flush with a surface for a seamless look.
Low voltage: The standard for most residential landscape lighting, running on a 12V system.
LED: Energy-efficient and long-lasting light bulbs.
Halogen: A more traditional bulb type that produces a warm, bright light.
Dimmable: Fixtures that allow for adjustable brightness levels.
Transformer: A necessary component for low-voltage systems that reduces household electricity to a safe level.
Beam spread: The angle or diameter of the light beam.
Color temperature: The "warmth" or "coolness" of the light, measured in Kelvin.
Lumens: The measure of light output or brightness.
Solid brass/copper: High-quality housing materials known for durability and attractive finish.
Weatherproof/waterproof: Indicates that fixtures are sealed to withstand outdoor elements.
Useful: Every light should have a clear purpose.
Targeted: Light should be directed only where it is needed, typically downward, to prevent light spill.
Low Level: Use the lowest light level necessary.
Controlled: Use motion sensors, timers, or dimmers to ensure light is on only when needed.
Warm Color: Use warmer-colored lights (lower Kelvin) to minimize disruption to wildlife and human sleep cycles.
Path lights: Typically mounted on stakes, these fixtures project light downward and outward to illuminate paths, driveways, and flowerbeds.
Spotlights (Bullet lights): Directional and versatile, these lights create accent and spotlighting effects for highlighting trees, walls, and other features.
Well lights: Installed in the ground, these lights provide dramatic up lighting for trees, columns, and walls.
Hardscape lights: Compact fixtures installed within masonry, under steps, or beneath railing caps to provide subtle, integrated lighting for patios, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens.
Floodlights: Offer a broad wash of light to cover large areas for security or to illuminate a wide landscape feature.
Deck lights: Small lights specifically designed for installation on deck stairs, posts, and surfaces.
String lights: Primarily for decorative ambient lighting, these are often used on pergolas, decks, and patios.
Low-voltage (12V): The industry standard for quality landscape lighting. A hardwired system ensures reliable, consistent performance in all weather conditions. Low-voltage wiring requires a transformer to reduce your home's 120V power to 12-15v.
Solar: A convenient but less reliable option, as its brightness and runtime depend on sunlight. Performance is often inconsistent, especially during cloudy weather, and fixtures tend to be less durable.
LED: The superior choice for residential use. LED bulbs use up to 80% less energy and last significantly longer than halogen bulbs. They produce less heat and offer various color temperatures.
Halogen: A more traditional bulb that uses more energy and burns out faster. While cheaper initially, the high operating costs and frequent replacement make it a poor long-term investment.
High-quality fixtures are built to withstand the elements.
Solid brass and copper: These materials are highly durable and age gracefully with an attractive patina.
Quality housings: Ensure a tight seal to protect against moisture intrusion, preventing corrosion and extending the life of the fixture.
Careful planning is crucial for a stunning and long-lasting installation.

Develop a plan: Start with a nighttime walkthrough to understand the existing lighting and visualize potential effects.
Layout: Place fixtures and run low-voltage wiring along the planned routes.
Trenching: Burying the low-voltage wire is required to protect it and keep it out of sight.
Connect and test: Connect all fixtures to the main line, and a licensed electrician should handle any necessary 120V work like outdoor outlet installation.

We offer low voltage led landscape lighting kits for the do it yourself installation. We sell professional grade products at DIY prices. Our brands include FX Kichler Unique WAC Alliance. Quality outdoor lights do not have to be expensive. We sell the best quality fixtures at the best prices with the best professional design services.
