What makes landscape lighting installation different in North County Inland San Diego?
Inland landscape lighting projects are typically larger: bigger lots, more architecture to highlight, and more pathway runs. The pros we send do design-and-install for entire front and back yards routinely, including low-voltage LED landscape lighting systems with multi-zone transformers and outdoor LED lighting on timers. Rancho Bernardo properties commonly combine pathway lighting with architectural uplights and residential exterior lighting along the driveway approach.

Should I do line-voltage or low-voltage outdoor lighting?
Low-voltage (12V) is the standard for landscape lighting: safer to work near, easier to expand, and the fixture options are far better. Line-voltage (120V) is used for floodlights, exterior outlets, and structural lighting. Most installs use both for the right purposes.
