Why our clients trust Sprinkler & Landscape Medics for Landscaping Projects in Austin
How Landscape Lighting Works in Austin
Residential landscape lighting runs on a low-voltage 12-volt system. A transformer plugged into a standard outdoor outlet converts household power to 12 volts, and fixtures connect through direct-burial cable rated for underground use. Modern systems use LED fixtures almost exclusively, and the combination of low voltage and LED technology makes residential outdoor lighting practical to operate year-round in Central Texas.
What Is Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting?
Low-voltage means the system runs at 12 volts, well below the threshold that poses a shock hazard in wet soil or around irrigation lines. NEC Article 300.5 requires low-voltage outdoor wiring to be buried at a minimum depth of 6 inches, compared to 18 to 24 inches for standard line-voltage cable. The shallower burial depth and lower shock risk are the reasons low-voltage LED has become standard for residential outdoor lighting.

Should Landscape Lighting Be Installed by an Electrician, a Landscaper, or a Lighting Company?
For most residential projects, the best person to hire is a licensed landscape professional who understands both wiring and what’s underground on your property. An electrician will wire to code, but they’re not going to know where your irrigation valves and lateral lines are buried.
A lighting specialist will design a great layout, but they often sub out the trenching to a crew that’s never seen your yard before. Either way, you’re hoping nobody cuts into something they didn’t know was there.
