Due to the Safe-no risk of electrical shock low
voltage, the lines have a required burial depth of 8"
therefore has a lower installation cost.
|
|
|
Because of the electrical shock hazard the
lines are required to be buried 18" to 24"
and typically require a machine. Higher
installation cost
|
|
Because of flexibility we have when placing
fixtures there is little to no restoration required
after installation
|
|
|
Be prepared to add landscape restoration
costs to a line voltage system. Trenching 18"
to 24" through a finished landscape makes
quite a mess.
|
|
Weather its 12v or 24v there is no risk of
electrical shock. Its safe for you, you children and
pets.

|
Do I need to explain?
Just because you are hiring a licensed
electrician that doesn't mean they are
burying the wire to required code. As
irrigation contractors we can testify to
this. Add this to the above-ground J boxes and
you have an accident waiting to happen.

About 1/3 of Line Voltage
With the large variety of halogen bulbs,lenses,
filter,spread and beams we are able to achieve the
exact amount of light for the desired result with a
lower wattage typically 20-35 watts.
|
|
|
Available in either spot or flood typically
50 to 100 watts.
|
|
Given the available fixtures and options, there is
almost no limit to the placement and lighting
capabilities. Can be easily repositioned due to
growth of changes.
|
|
|
Extremely limited amount of fixtures and
bulbs. Placement is restricted due to
electrical requirements. Not easily
repaired,replaced or moved. Requires
Licensed electrician.
