Landscape Lighting
Professional Low Voltage Landscape Lighting beautifully illuminates your home and property while increasing saftey, security and nighttime enjoyment.
Why Install Low Voltage Landscape Lighting?
- Security - High voltage floodlights leave dark shadows and unseen areas around a property. A better choice is strategically placed low voltage lights that provide low levels of even illumination.
- Saftey - Low voltage lighting is the ideal choice for illuminating walkways and entranceways. This ensures that residents and visitors can safely navigate around the property.
- Usability - Illuminating the private areas of a property allows the evening enjoyment of decks, sitting areas, and recreational spaces.
- Beauty - Low voltage lighting accentuates the shapes and textures of a landscape and its structures. Lighting designers not only paint pictures with light, they create dramatic scenes that give the viewer a dynamic experience of the property.
- Economy - Low voltage lighting consumes about 1/3 the electricity compared to hight voltage and is far less expensive to install.
Durability. Innovation. Value.
Why do we use CAST Lighting Systems?
- Hand-Crafted Solid Bronze Fixtures with Superior Design
- Trouble-Free Wire Connections
- Marine-Grade Wire Ideal for Buried Applications
- Advanced Voltage Control to Extend Lamp Life
- Patented Feature to Ensure Proper Long-Term Maintenance
When a lighting fixture is installed outdoors it is subject to the extremes of weather, environmental conditions and physical abuse. Most fixtures fail under these conditions because they are constructed of inferior materials that corrode and are easily damaged. CAST Fixtures are constructed entirely of handmade solid bronze. Bronze was selected because it’s nearly impervious to corrosion and physical abuse.
We use only the CAST Spider Splice technique. This invovles running equal length wires from each fixture to to Spider Splice Junction points. These junctions protect connections from corrosion, deliver equal voltage to all fixtures, and facilitate ease of maintenance.
Buried wire is at risk for physical damage during yard work and is subject to corrosion from ground water. CAST addresses these problems with No-OX wire, a durable, tin-coated wire impervious to corrosion. This is the same wire used for saltwater marine applications.
CAST transformers have many features that give us greater flexibility and control during the installation process. These transformers also have resin-sealed cores with a lifetime guarantee, and incorporate both primary and secondary magnetic circuit breaker protection.
CAST Landscape Lighting Systems are designed to last a lifetime. With that in mind, CAST incorporates a patented system of record keeping that allows us to record vital system information at the job site. The corner stones of this system are the “As-Built Fixture Record Tags”. These acid-etched stainless steel tags are attached to each fixture. Information such as wire run, lamp replacement information, and transformer number are permanetly marked on these tags. This information allows us to easily service the system year after year without having to rely on design drawings that are easily lost or destroyed.
