Outdoor low voltage lighting kits designed for up lighting houses and homes.

I have two projects I want to light. The first is the front of the house. The house is around 60 ft wide and the yard slopes at a 1/4 down towards the road (40 ft from house). (The house is at the top of a gentle hill.) I would like to uplight the front, but don''t know what to use or how to get the power there. I do know that I want to do it with one or 2 lights.The second project has to do with the back yard. I have a hill on the back with a large cedar tree and several smaller trees. I stepping stones going up the hill that I would like to light up. I have frequent foot traffic (I live behind my church) and want to light up from there to my home. I currently have solar powered path lights that do the trick, but they keep getting damaged by animals and children. Can I spotlight the entire area from the house? Or what should I do?Help!

The best way to light the front of your house is with one of our PRE-PACKAGED LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING KITS. These lighting kits contain all the fixtures, stakes, lamps, wire and transformer to complete the job. They are easy to install and will do a great job lighting the house and landscaping. I would suggest testing with one of the lights before installing the full system to identify the best mounting locations. We also have a DESIGNING LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING SYSTEMS PAGE for more information on landscape lighting designs and LOAD CALCULATIONS.

For the back yard, you could simple purchase another TRANSFORMER and use some of the lights and DIRECT BURIAL WIRE from the kit in the back. I would suggest installing some LOW VOLTAGE PATH LIGHTS in lieu of the solar lights for better lighting levels. These lights are commercial grade and should withstand the kids and animals.
