There are many reasons for adding automated lighting fixtures to your outdoor area. Here are some of them:

- Safety. It can be quite dangerous trying to walk outside at night. By installing landscape lighting fixtures, your family and your guests won't have trouble navigating your outdoors once darkness sets in.
- Entertainment and Relaxation. Landscapes are meant to relax the mind and body. Having lights installed will provide your outdoor area with enough illumination that will allow you to appreciate its beauty even at night.

Special Advantages With Low-Voltage Lighting Systems
Using low-voltage lighting systems provide the basic benefits of landscape lights and more. The name says it all. Such systems use low-voltage lights. While the typical garden lights run on 120 volts, low-voltage lights need only 12 volts. With low-voltage lighting systems, homeowners are assured of safety and great savings.Low-voltage lighting systems use only 10% of the total consumption that the typical garden lighting uses. Therefore, there will be a lot less electricity consumption, thus a lot less cost on power bills. This is not only economical, but also environmentally friendly. And since the lights are only 12V, the bulbs produce less heat and are less likely to cause short circuits. Typical garden lights heat up fast, making them potential fire hazards.
Though low-voltage lights are believed to emit low beams, which are not so great for certain applications, you shouldn't worry. Contrary to this popular belief, low-voltage lighting systems can actually emit even brighter lights. That is, if the right lights and correct transformer were used. And that's possible with a pro's help.
