Landscape Lighting Installation (Low Voltage Lighting Services – Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, MI)

At Troy Sprinklers, our services go beyond irrigation – we also specialize in high-performance landscape lighting installation using low voltage lighting systems. With over 30 years of experience enhancing outdoor spaces across Troy, Bloomfield Hills, Birmingham, and surrounding areas, we design lighting systems that are both elegant and energy-efficient. Whether you’re illuminating a walkway, garden bed, patio, or driveway, our team ensures optimal performance, aesthetic value, and long-lasting results.

Why Low Voltage Landscape Lighting?

Low voltage lighting systems (typically 12V) are safer, more energy-efficient, and easier to maintain than traditional 120V systems. They provide the perfect balance of brightness and safety while being ideal for residential applications. These systems also allow for flexible placement of fixtures without requiring deep trenching or complex permitting.

Our Installation Process

  1. Design & Planning
    We begin by walking the property and discussing your goals—whether that’s enhancing curb appeal, highlighting architectural features, increasing security, or creating ambient outdoor living spaces. We plan zones, fixture types, and beam spreads to achieve a layered, balanced lighting effect.
  2. Fixture Selection
    We only install premium-quality fixtures from trusted brands like Volt®, Kichler®, and FX Luminaire. Fixtures include:

    • Path lights
    • Spotlights/uplights
    • Wash lights
    • Step/deck lights
    • Well lights
    • Hardscape lighting
  3. Wire Layout and Trenching
    We use direct burial-rated wire and carefully trench or edge beds for concealment. Wire paths avoid roots and existing irrigation lines. All connections are waterproofed using gel-filled direct burial connectors or heat shrink tubing for long-term durability.
  4. Transformer Placement
    A low voltage transformer is mounted in a discreet location near a power source. We use smart transformers with photocells, timers, and Wi-Fi/app control for scheduling and energy efficiency.
  5. Voltage Drop Testing & Load Balancing
    Voltage is tested at each fixture to ensure performance consistency. If a long run is needed, we split wire paths into multiple home-run lines to minimize voltage drop.
  6. Smart Lighting Controls (Optional)
    For clients wanting modern controls, we integrate smart timers, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi systems for automation and zoning.
