01
It's usually the wire, not the light
Most low-voltage lighting failures are a bad connection or a wire nicked by an edger or a shovel. Swapping fixtures rarely fixes a dead run.

What we know
What we'd tell you standing in your driveway.
Useful whether or not you ever call us.
02
Whole system out? Check the outlet
If nothing comes on, look at the GFCI outlet the transformer plugs into, then the timer. Power flickers reset timers, and a tripped GFCI looks exactly like a dead system.
03
Dim at the end means voltage drop
Lights getting dimmer the farther they are from the transformer usually means too many fixtures on one run or cable too thin for the distance.
04
Use sealed connectors
The clip-on piercing connectors that come with a lot of kits let water in and corrode. Gel-filled waterproof connectors last far longer in wet ground.
05
Keep the photocell clear
A shrub growing over the photocell makes the system think it's dark all day or light all night. Trim around it.
Questions
What people ask about it.
Why did half my landscape lights stop working?
Usually a failed splice or a cut wire on that run. Everything past the break goes dark while everything before it keeps working.
Can you switch my old halogen landscape lights to LED?
Often, yes, by swapping the bulbs on the existing fixtures. LEDs also take load off the transformer, which can fix dim lights at the end of a run.
Do you install new landscape lighting systems?
No. We repair and replace parts of systems that are already in the ground. A new system designed from scratch isn't something we take on.
What we don’t do
- New lighting systems designed from scratch
- New outlets or anything wired into the house — that's an electrician
- Permanent hard-mounted roofline lighting — that's electrical work
Where we do it
