One piece of advice that shows up when we are reading about or talking to the experts in outdoor lighting is plan the design before you do anything else. It is definitely one of the best bits of information to allow people to get top performance from a low voltage outdoor lighting kit.

You will know in advance how many lights you need, what sort of low voltage transformers are required and identify which outdoor outlet or outlets are targeted for the conversion.

Sometimes the low voltage outdoor landscape lighting is a benefit to allowing adequate subdued lighting where there is no other direct lighting available. If you are in a rural setting, where the only lights at night are the moon, stars and whatever you have in place, setting a string of lights down the edge of the driveway makes sense.

Any family that walks home late can see the direction and anything in the way as they walk to the house. The disadvantage is large vehicles back over them, so realize they will need replaced now and then.

Another way to be certain you are going to get top performance from a low voltage outdoor lighting kit is to read everything about it before purchase. If you are online, look for reviews elsewhere about that specific product. If you are at the store, read the box. Check with the staff at your hardware store. If nothing else, they may have gotten a comment or two from other customers.

If it appears to be too complicated, set it aside. There are quite a few outbuildings and garages with a shelf dedicated to things purchased because someone had to have it, though no one ever could figure out how to install it.
