Two weeks ago we were working on the landscaping at the new house and decided to add some low-voltage landscape and architectural lighting.  I’ve seen several houses around town that I thought had nice lighting so I just planned a design based on those houses.  

So we headed over to Lowe’s and picked up a 600 watt Low Voltage Transformer.    It has two 300 watt circuits and a timer built in.  The first circuit I used for the lighting beside the garage, on the front left of the house and the walkway lighting.  The second curcuit was used to light the front right of the house the right side of the house and the tree in the front.  I still have about 100 watts left for expansion if I need it later on.

As far as lights go, I used 7 50 watt halogen lights.  Those are the lights on the house and one on the tree.  Then I used 20 watt lights for other highlighting and used these lights from Lowe’s for the walkway. I also used a rock light for the bush in the main landscape area.

Overall, we are really happy with the result.  Let’s just hope the Electric bill isn’t through the roof!
