Landscape lighting in Toronto

The average price range is between 300$ and 4000$. The final price depends on the amount of fixtures you need, the space you want to cover, the level of sophisticated design, and the difficulty of the installation. Practically, expect the final, professional and reliable system to cost around 2000$ for the whole project.

Low voltage landscape lighting is a part of outdoor illumination that doesn’t cost you a fortune in the long run and works perfectly well for years. Technically, the main components of such systems are the same light fixtures and wire, which transmit electricity to the lamps and make them light up. The main difference is — the low-voltage system wastes ten times less power than a traditional one, 12 volts instead of 120. Nowadays to keep the system up-to-date in terms of both technology and looks, you should aim at LED low-voltage systems.

An ordinary system has 3 key elements and is, actually, as simple as it gets. You need: the transformer, the wire, the fixtures. And that’s it! The transformer is mounted somewhere on your house, where it’s easy to reach, plugged into the most convenient GFI (the outside power outlet). The whole system is not much different from an ordinary indoor light. The key difference between cheap do-it-yourself lighting kits and professional kits with expert installation is that the latter will work for decades, and the store-bought ones are rarely operating in a season or two.

The main advantage of LED garden lights over the regular ones is that they have a much longer service life. The reduced heat emission provides these lamps with better heat management capabilities, which greatly improves their efficiency. All in all, if you need to save money and improve your lighting efficiency all at once, then Low Voltage Landscape Lighting is definitely a good idea.

To keep it simple, you can buy complete kits from any big chain store, plug them in and put the whole thing somewhere in your garden where you want to see the lights. That would work for some time. What it would NOT do, however, is:

1. Make it reliable and resistant to all sorts of circumstances, weather- and usability-wise;
2. Make it look professional well-made;
3. Make it look elegant.

Take it from a landscaping company: landscape lighting is not something you should purchase for your last money. It is, however, something that can completely change the look of your garden — and be a cost-effective feature for years and years to come, worth every dollar.
