Low Voltage Landscape Lighting for Tampa Bay Homes
There are two kinds of homes on your street at night. The ones that disappear into the dark. And the ones that stop people mid-walk. Low voltage landscape lighting is what makes the difference — and LED Artistry has been designing and installing it across Tampa Bay for 18 years.
What Is Low Voltage Landscape Lighting?
Low voltage landscape lighting runs on a 12-volt system — a fraction of the power used by standard electrical fixtures. A transformer steps down your home's regular current to 12 volts, which then powers your outdoor lights through buried cable runs.
The result is beautiful outdoor lighting that is safe to install, costs pennies a day to run, and is fully adjustable whenever your landscape changes.
LED low voltage fixtures use 80–90% less power than older halogen systems
12-volt systems won't shock you if a wire is nicked during yard work
Add, move, or adjust fixtures as your landscaping grows
Quality LED fixtures last 50,000+ hours with no bulb changes
Low voltage systems are exempt from electrical permits in Florida
Program schedules, adjust brightness, and control zones from your phone
Our Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Services
We design and install complete low voltage lighting systems for residential properties across Tampa Bay. Every system starts with a design consultation — and we do not begin until you have seen exactly what your home will look like after dark.
Uplighting
Placed at the base of trees, palms, columns, and architectural features, uplights wash your home and landscaping in warm directed light that creates depth and drama. Every LED Artistry installation is built around uplighting — it is the technique that transforms a flat facade into something that commands attention.
Path & Driveway Lighting
Low ground-level path lights guide movement and define the edges of your walkways and driveway. They add safety without overpowering the landscape design and make your property look intentional from the street.
Accent & Focal Point Lighting
Water features, statement palms, front-entry courtyards — accent lighting uses precision placement and beam angles to make focal points pop without washing out everything around them.
Hardscape & Paver Lighting
Most installers avoid tile patios, travertine pool decks, and paver driveways. We specialize in them. With 20+ years in the tile and marble industry, we core-drill through grout joints, route cable cleanly beneath the surface, and reseal everything to match. The finished result looks like it was engineered during construction.
Transformer & Control Systems
Every system needs a quality transformer sized to your fixture load. We install and program smart transformers with adjustable schedules, brightness controls, and zone management — operable from a wall switch or your phone.

The Fixtures We Use
LED Artistry sources 90% of its fixtures from Garden Light LED — a premium manufacturer based right here in the Tampa Bay area. Their lights carry a 20-year warranty and are built specifically for Florida's heat, humidity, and salt air.
Unlike import fixtures that fade, corrode, or fail within a few years, Garden Light LED fixtures are engineered to stay sharp-looking and fully functional for decades. When we install your system, we are confident standing behind it.
How the Process Works
Before you spend a dollar, we come out after dark with portable fixtures and show you exactly what your home will look like. You see it, you approve it, then we talk price.
We map out fixture placement, beam angles, cable routes, and transformer sizing. Every system is designed specifically for your property — we do not use templates.
Our crew handles everything: digging cable runs, core-drilling where needed, mounting fixtures, connecting the transformer, and programming your schedule. We leave your property clean.
We do a nighttime walk-through with you after installation to confirm every light is aimed correctly and the system performs exactly as shown in the demo.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does low voltage landscape lighting cost?
Most residential installations in Tampa Bay range from $3,500 to $15,000+ depending on the size of the property and the number of fixtures. Our average project is around $7,500. The best way to get an accurate number is to schedule a free nighttime demo — we will design your system on-site and give you a clear quote.
How long does installation take?
Most residential projects are completed in one day. From your first call to a finished installation is typically about one week.
Do I need a permit for low voltage landscape lighting in Florida?
No. Low voltage systems (12V) are exempt from electrical permit requirements in Florida. No permits, no delays, no inspections.
Can you install lights in my travertine or paver patio?
Yes — and this is one of our specialties. We core-drill through grout joints, route cable beneath the surface, and reseal everything to match. Most homeowners cannot tell where we drilled.
What brand of fixtures do you use?
We primarily use Garden Light LED — a Tampa Bay manufacturer with a 20-year warranty. Their fixtures are built specifically for Florida's climate.
What is the difference between low voltage and line voltage landscape lighting?
Line voltage runs at 120V — the same as your home outlets — and requires a licensed electrician and permits. Low voltage runs at 12V, requires no permits, is safer, and costs far less to operate. For outdoor landscape lighting, low voltage LED is the professional standard.
