Outdoor lighting in Carmel
Low-voltage lighting that makes the yard usable and the walk safe after dark.
Good lighting shows off the house and the plants, not the fixtures. We use low-voltage LED fixtures to light paths and steps, wash a wall, and pick out a tree or two. The light stays warm and aimed down, so it doesn't glare into your windows or the neighbor's yard.
The parts you don't see matter most. We size the transformer with room to add on later, run heavier wire on long runs so the far lights aren't dim, and make connections that stay dry underground. A timer or photocell turns everything on at dusk.

Questions people ask
Don't see yours? Call (317) 555-0149.
Is low-voltage lighting safe around kids and pets?
Yes. The transformer steps house power down to 12 volts before it reaches the yard. If a shovel nicks a wire, that's a repair, not a danger.
Will it run up my electric bill?
Not much. A whole yard of LED fixtures usually draws about what one or two old incandescent bulbs did. The older halogen setups used several times that.
