The most critical part of your lighting system above anything else is a proper installation.  It’s amazing that this part is most often overlooked by not only customers but also many installers.

LED lights must operate within a particular voltage range and this should be checked with a volt meter to be sure you are within the manufacturer’s specified range.  You also want to be sure you never exceed your amperage rating on the transformer or wire.

Connections are some of the most common problems we see with existing landscape lighting issues.  A loose wire nut connection can cause a heat buildup which weakens the connection causing lights to not function and wire nuts could even melt.  Oxidation of poorly sealed connection are another leading cause of failures.

Illuminate the Night by Outdoor Renovations LLC goes an extra step which is very rare but extremely valuable.  We solder all of our connections made outside of the transformer and then encapsulate the connections with a waterproof connection wire nut.  This eliminates any type of potential for lights not working due to poor connections and oxidized wires.

We also supply an extra 3 to 5 feet of wire buried at the fixture to allow for movement of lights when your landscape grows.  This saves you from unnecessary costs and additional splices in your system in the future.
