If you have not yet installed outdoor lighting in your yard, you are in for a real treat. Not only will you be adding a whole new dimension to your yard, you will be doubling the use of of it with outdoor lighting.
Be aware your yard is going to look different at night then it does during the day when you incorporate outdoor lighting. In general, it’s going to look a lot more beautiful as you can set up the lights to focus on exactly what you want to display.
In general, outdoor lighting is provided to the diy homeowner in a variety of styles. One of the most popular includes 10-12 lights, 100′ of electrical cord and an easy to set timer. Installation couldn’t be simpler. One simply lays out the 100′ electrical cord throughout the area then attaches the desired style lamp with a firm pressure on the cord. The idea being, each lamp has exposed prongs and when pressed into the cord, they make the proper connection to light up when turned on. Of course you are not limited to lighting up only100′ of your yard. But you will need to purchase additional sets as one electrical cord can only safely handle so much wattage.
