The Benefits of Low Voltage LED Light Bulbs for landscape and outdoor lighting

April 09, 2021

Low voltage lighting typically uses 12V or 24V bulbs, 12V is generally chosen over the standard 120V found in outlets and junction boxes due to it being a safe, versatile, and potentially cost-effective alternative.  12V lighting is commonly used for landscape lighting and plant/vegetation lighting or grow lights.

1. Safe option: 120V can severely injure or even kill a person, but 12V will only emit a slight shock for those that encounter it. It is also recommended for outdoor use since the lower voltage installations will not be dangerous when exposed to natural elements, such as rain or a windy day.

2. Longer Lifespan: 12V LEDs have a longer lifespan due to having no working parts that will burn or break over time which helps reduce costs of replacing burnt out or broken bulbs.

3. Cost-efficient: LEDs have transitioned into the most popular form of low voltage; LEDs have become very cost-effective mainly due to LEDs requiring less energy to output the same level of light. Read the 12 Benefits of LED Lightings to find out more about the advantages of LED technology.

4. Versatility: Lower voltage allows for smaller bulbs, which means that your lighting setup can be more diverse and creative. You can play with a wide range of light fixture types from patio wall sconces to walkway path lights. You will finally be able to light those awkward or tight areas around your space.

5. Adds to the Aesthetics: 12V LEDs can add aesthetics to outdoor landscape for home and business buildings. Popular landscape lighting includes string lights, spotlights, path lights and wall lights. Homeowners can enjoy a fun DIY project installing 12V LED bulbs into outdoor lighting fixtures.
   
   
6. Increase Security: Give safety and security to home. Burglars don’t like to enter well-lit homes and offices. Studies have shown that outdoor lighting has a huge impact on reducing residential crime at night by 39%.
   
   
7. Easy to Install: Low voltage light bulbs are easy to install in your light fixtures. You don’t need to have electrical experience to light up your front yard pathways and highlight your garden with charming vibes.
