Low voltage landscape lighting is known for using 12 to 24 volts of electricity. You need a transformer that converts the usual 120 or 277-volt electricity in your property to 12 or 24 volts. Outdoor lighting compatible with the 12-volt system is wired in series with the transformer.
12-volt electricity has no risk of electric shock, which is why most property owners install low-voltage landscape lighting systems. The user does not have to bury the wire in the ground but instead can run the wire across the earth’s surface under a thin layer of soil or mulch (at least 6 inches deep). The wires can also be left above ground, depending on their location in the landscape.
