Outdoor lighting
Posted on 3/16/26 at 1:29 pm

I'm looking to put in outdoor lighting around my driveway, sidewalk, and landscaping.
I'm wanting a white colored light, low voltage system, with zones (one motion activated would be great)
Any suggestions?

Depends on how those areas are setup in relation to each other but you don't need anything terribly fancy. The trickiest part will be which zone is the one you want on a motion sensor? They make unobtrusive in-line sensors, you just have to place it so that the light it controls are all downstream.

Look at Volt Lighting. I just bought and installed the 6 spotlight kit with transformer. High quality stuff and very easy to install.

THIS. Do it right the first time and don't look back.
Their customer service is top notch too.

You can get low voltage stuff on Amazon or better quality stuff locally at Ewing Irrigation.
If you’re looking for someone to quote you on that I can also help you with that.

How do you plan to run the wiring? That would probably be my first step, most transformers have at least two circuits and even the smaller ones can run a considerable number of LED lights. Do you need to cross through or under the driveway or a sidewalk? In my case I was able to use an expansion joint to run a line then go back with filler after everything was done but I also have the capability to either tunnel or cut a path as needed.

Another vote for Volt. High quality stuff and lifetime warranties. Anytime I have a bulb burnout I just email them and they overnight me a new one. All of the housing is heavy brass/metal. Very easy setup and connections. Its somewhat pricey but you will never spend money on it again.

See if you can fit one of the "sets" that volt sells through costco to what you need as the prices are better there then on Volt's website. Then add on to it with whatever else you need.

I ended up ordering a kit that had 6 spotlights, 4 path lights, the wiring, and the transformer. Then I ordered 10 extra path lights

Another vote for Volt! I used their ring transformer. About to install another with some more spot lights

Got the all the stuff in today, looking forward to installing it this weekend
