A low voltage power supply for outdoor lighting is a system that converts standard line voltage (120V or 240V) to a lower voltage, typically 12V or 24V, to safely power outdoor lights. This makes installation easier and reduces the risk of electric shock.

To install a low voltage power supply, first, choose a suitable location for the transformer near a power source. Then, connect the transformer to the electrical outlet, run low voltage wiring from the transformer to your outdoor lights, and secure the connections to ensure they are waterproof.

The benefits include enhanced safety since low voltage reduces the risk of electric shock, greater flexibility in lighting design, easier installation, and lower energy consumption compared to standard high voltage systems.

Not all outdoor lights are compatible with low voltage power supplies. Generally, you should use lights specifically designed for low voltage systems, such as LED landscape lights, to ensure proper operation and safety.
