A low voltage power supply for outdoor lighting is a system that converts standard household voltage (120V or 240V) to a lower voltage (typically 12V or 24V) to safely power outdoor lights. This type of system is commonly used for landscape lighting, pathway lights, and garden fixtures.

Low voltage power supplies reduce the risk of electric shock and electrical fires because the lower voltage is less likely to cause serious injury. They are particularly beneficial in outdoor settings where moisture and ground contact are concerns.

A low voltage outdoor lighting system typically requires a transformer to step down the voltage, low voltage cables to connect the lights, and the outdoor lighting fixtures themselves. Additional components may include connectors, stakes for mounting lights, and timers or controllers for automation.

Yes, many homeowners can install a low voltage power supply for outdoor lighting themselves as it generally involves simple connections and does not require extensive electrical knowledge. However, it’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes for safety and compliance.
