Right-sized transformers
We size every transformer for 70% load. That leaves headroom for voltage drop, future expansion, and the LED inrush current most installers ignore.

Ask Us Anything · (213) 752-393501Are permits required?+
Low-voltage landscape lighting in IL generally does not require a permit. Line-voltage exterior circuits and any new sub-panel work do — we pull those when needed and coordinate with the inspector.
02Do you offer maintenance plans?+
Yes. Dover homeowners can opt into an annual maintenance visit — fixture cleaning, alignment, lamp checks, and transformer inspection. Most clients add it after year two.
03Will outdoor lighting raise my electric bill?+
Barely. A typical 200-watt LED system in IL runs about $4–$8 per month even if it's on every night. LEDs draw roughly 1/7 the power of equivalent halogen fixtures.
04How deep do you bury the cable?+
Trunk lines around Dover get buried 6–8 inches under turf and beds, deeper through high-traffic areas. We follow IL code minimums and exceed them where it matters.
