"After reading the earlier posts I called James with IN CHARGE ELECTRIC to get a bid for the installation of 2 ceiling fans and some light kits for existing fans. He was at the house when he said he would be and was very easy to deal with. He uses the same pre-printed bid sheet and prices for everyone so you know the price of the project up front."

There are a few types of landscape lighting in Lake County
- Solar
- Line Voltage
- Low Voltage
Line voltage lighting is 120V, which is the regular voltage inside our home that we use for all in home appliances. Installing line voltage landscape light fixtures will require an electric junction box to be installed at where the fixture is and the wires preferably be contained inside conduits so that it is not exposed to the elements. More work is involved when installing a line voltage lighting system, and it is less flexible, as we cannot freely move the line-voltage light fixtures. A line-voltage landscape lighting system is also considered less safe than a low-voltage system. A low voltage lighting system operates at 12V instead of 120V. Having low voltage fixtures is recommended because they are more energy efficient compared to line-voltage incandescent light fixtures and the low-voltage nature of the system poses virtually no risk of safety hazard out on the landscape. Therefore by having low voltage lighting outside is preferred since it’s safer, easier to install, and allows more flexibility.
