The Value of Landscape Lighting A beautifully landscaped home can be transformed into a spectacular showplace at night.  Artistic Landscapes offers the ability to not only design and install your outdoor lighting system, but to design a landscape which  emphasizes dramatic outdoor lighting.  Colorful annual beds, dramatic trees, lighted fountains, or an enchanting waterfall can create a visually stunning nightscape.  An outdoor lighting system is a smart investment for several reasons: Landscape lighting enhances a home's value and pride of ownership. Outdoor lighting can highlight your landscapes finest features and your biggest investment, your home! Outdoor lighting increases home security by deterring burglary, vandalism, and other crimes. Lighting increases safety and reduces risk around walkways, steps, pools, water gardens, and other landscape features.  About Low Voltage Lighting Systems  Low voltage systems are safe and energy efficient.  A home's 120 volt current is reduced to a safe 12 volts by a Transformer.  There is no risk of electrical shock to children or animals if the cable is accidentally cut.  The lights use less wattage, yet provide comparable light to many 120 volt, higher wattage lamps.  A low voltage system costs three times less to operate than a 120 volt lighting system.
