What is the best way to add a receptacle on my house for a low voltage lighting system?

Hi, we just moved to a new house and want to add some basic low voltage lighting around the flowerbeds. The problem is the only outlet we have is located on the porch, we don't want to have to run the lights from an extension cord, or have the box sitting right by the door. Is there anyway we can add an outlet that will be more in a hidden location? Who would I call to do such a task? How would it be done? My husband is very familiar with electricity, but we want it done right. Thank you for your help

The best way to address your problem is to add a new receptacle on the front of the house. I agree that it would look tacky on the front porch. Any electrician can install a GFCI protected outlet for you or your handy man. It is really quite simple. Locate an indoor receptacle that you can tap into from the outside. Of course, turn off the circuit breaker if you decide to have your husband do the work.

We have a great selection of OUTDOOR LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING KITS that would work well for your project. Everything you need is in the box and all you have to do is hook up a few wires, plug it in and enjoy. We also have PATH LIGHTS and BOLLARD LIGHTS to go with the low voltage lighting kits.
