Now is the time to turn your property into a safe, well-lighted place\u2014an easy enough task until you confront the, well, blinding array of options. To make choosing the right fixture easier, we&amp;#039;ve organized them into three categories: low voltage, line voltage, and solar power. Knowing the pros and cons of each will help you make the bright decision. Low Voltage Fixtures connect to a single cable that simply plugs into an existing outlet. The systems include a transformer that reduces the amount of electricity traveling through the cable. Pros \u2022 Low-voltage cables don&amp;#039;t have to be buried (except for aesthetics) so there&amp;#039;s no need to dig up the yard. \u2022 Available in hundreds of styles and in a wide price range. Cons  \u2022 Fixtures suffer from &amp;quot;voltage drop,&amp;quot; which means they lose brightness the farther they are from the power source. \u2022 To prevent electrical shorts, the transformer must be plugged into a GFCI outlet, which has a built-in circuit breaker (look for the red and black buttons). Common Applications \u2022 As decorative lights along paths, near steps, on decks, and in planting beds close to the house. Line Voltage Line-voltage fixtures are wired directly into the house&amp;#039;s regular 120-volt current, enabling them to provide nearly limitless levels of illumination. Most wall-mount fixtures fall into this category. Pros \u2022 Provides strong light, regardless of the number of fixtures being used. \u2022 Compatible with mercury-vapor bulbs, whose blue-green tint flatters foliage. Cons \u2022 Requires a licensed electrician to hard-wire the fixtures. \u2022 The cables must be buried to meet local code, usually 3 feet deep. Common Applications \u2022 Porch lights and wall sconces, garage-mounted security fixtures, post lamps, accent lights in trees for a moonlit effect.        Wall-mount spotlight.

Cons \u2022 Light output can be low, especially on cloudy days. \u2022 Design options remain limited.
