Hiring an inexperienced/unlicensed lighting contractor or landscaper for your installation can end up costing you more money in the long run due to substandard installation practices.
You should always have someone experienced with Low Voltage Lighting Systems install your landscape lighting to ensure:
Don’t cheat yourself out of the lighting techniques, design knowledge, and experience that a true lighting professional can provide. Working with someone you know you can trust will bring you peace of mind about the safety and quality of your system.

The quality of the materials used by All County Irrigation and Outdoor Lighting is evident in the look and feel of the fixtures: solid brass and copper, instead of copper plated. Advancements in powder coating techniques found in top quality aluminum fixtures prevent corrosion and other damage. Our manufacturers stand behind their products with excellent warranties. Substandard fixtures do not hold up well against the elements and will ultimately make you spend more money on their untimely replacements.
The biggest ones are safety and cost!
Of course, safety is of the highest importance. High-voltage systems (120v) must remain moisture-free to prevent potential shock hazards if wires are compromised. A low-voltage system (12v) is specifically designed to not warrant this concern.
High voltage systems are more expensive to operate than low voltage fixtures, as they require more electricity which obviously increases your electric bill. Also, higher costs may be incurred if a fixture(s) need to be relocated.
Burying 120-volt system wiring can be problematic due to depths and the need for a protective conduit. Low-voltage system (12v) wires do not have the same constraints, which offers the customer more flexibility for future changes than the 120-volt counterpart.
Aesthetically, 12-volt system fixtures are smaller and less obtrusive. In addition, they offer a wider variety of precise, as well as artistic lighting effects. The higher watt bulbs of the 120-volt systems create unwanted glare and have a reduced ability to create subtle landscape lighting effects.
