Do It Yourself Landscape Lighting Part 3 – Volt Lighting Project
Introduction
Welcome back to another installment of our Do It Yourself Landscape Lighting series! In this article, we will be sharing our experience with completing a landscape lighting project using Volt Lighting products. We’ll walk you through the different steps we took, the challenges we encountered, and the satisfaction we gained from completing the project on our own.
Planning the Installation
Before we delved into the installation process, we made sure to carefully plan out the entire project. A map of the property was created, outlining the areas that required lighting. This not only helped us visualize the end result but also enabled us to determine the best placement for the lights.
Selecting the Right Wire and Transformers
One of the crucial aspects of landscape lighting is choosing the right wire and transformers. To ensure we had the correct specifications, we relied on Volt Lighting’s exceptional customer service. They guided us in selecting the appropriate wire gauge for our project. In this case, we used both 12 gauge and 10 gauge wire for different sections of the installation.
Installing the First Section
We began the installation process by focusing on the section of the landscape lighting that was located against the house. Our goal was to illuminate the stunning robolini palms in the area. Following the instructions provided by Volt Lighting, we carefully positioned the spotlights and connected them using the wire provided.
Wire Nut Connections
To power the fixtures, we utilized wire nut connections. We ensured that each connection was secure and reliable. By following a specific wire stripping and wrapping technique, we were able to confidently tackle this part of the installation process.
The Second Section
Moving on to the other side of the house, we tackled the second section of landscape lighting. This area required a slightly different approach due to its size and specific lighting needs. We once again relied on the instructions and products from Volt Lighting to complete this section successfully.
Project Completion
After meticulous planning, installation, and troubleshooting, we were thrilled to see our landscape lighting project come together. The final result showcased the beauty of our property during the evening hours. The combination of the carefully positioned spotlights and micro junction connectors created a visually stunning and functional outdoor space.
Conclusion
Undertaking a landscape lighting project can be both challenging and rewarding. By choosing the right products, following clear instructions, and relying on the assistance of experts like Volt Lighting, you can achieve professional results on your own. We hope our experience and insights have inspired you to embark on your own landscape lighting adventure.
