A professional will do the best and safest job installing landscape lighting, but if you choose to do it yourself, here’s a general breakdown:
1. Wire the transformer by screwing to wires in place and then hang it next to a GFCI outlet.
2. Assemble and place the lights, and then place them where they will be installed.
3. Connect the lights by attaching the cable connectors and then turning the system on to test it.
4. Dig trenches around six inches deep for the cable and then place them in, but don’t bury them yet.
5. Plug in the transformer and set the timer. Then, cover the GFCI outlet and test the lights. If they’re working correctly, you can bury the cable.
