Get More For Less With Energy Efficient Nightscaping®

Regardless of how you look at it, a watt is a watt. There is a fixed cost to consume that one watt. It's a static figure that does not vary from appliance to appliance.The manner in which that watt is used determines efficiency. That is the key to Nightscaping's® original, energy efficient, low-voltage lighting concept.Take for instance a 100 watt traditional line voltage lamp. It is going to cost the same to power that lamp as it would a 100 watt Nightscaping® PowerCenter™ transformer. Now take that same lamp and transformer to an average residential landscape lighting job site. That one 100 watt lamp could be used as a single source to indiscriminately light a portion of the site. This is not going to create a functional, effective or aesthetically pleasing result.On the other hand, with the 100 watt transformer (same operating cost) a designer could precisely position 8 application specific Nightscaping® fixtures using 12 watt lamps in that same space. These light sources could be spread about the property to create an evenly distributed, aesthetically pleasing and functional lighting system.The cost is the same either way. So then, how is the low voltage system more efficient?The reasoning is simple. The 100 watt lamp in the aforementioned example is not going to adequately light the site. There are variables specific to the job site on all lighting projects. Attempting to use as few line voltage lamps as possible to contend with these variables is not the most efficient or effective solution.A properly designed Nightscaping® brand low voltage system can address the variables specific to the job site and can do so using far less energy. The degree of control offered by Nightscaping® allows the designer to address specific demands presented by the individual landscape.Through the selective use of light a more effective, efficient system can be created with multiple low-voltage lamps than that which can be realized using fewer high voltage lamps of greater wattage. Bottom line it's going to take several sources to properly light any property. The more high voltage lamps necessary to light the scene is proportionate to the degree of efficiency offered by Nightscaping®. For every one 100 watt lamp you can use up to 8 low-voltage fixtures using 12 watt lamps. If you need three light sources for this example you are going to use 300 watts with line voltage whereas with low-voltage you'll only use 36 watts... or you can use all 8 low voltage fixtures available from your 100 watt transformer and create a detailed, beautiful nighttime scene and use one-third less energy. The low-voltage option is obviously more efficient.With Nightscaping® brand low-voltage lighting you are going to consume less energy and incur less expense to realize more benefits from your lighting system. Those benefits like increased home beauty, safety, security and curb appeal are going to far and away exceed the possibilities available from a line voltage system. Low-voltage is not only the efficient choice, it is the choice to make if you want to truly create a useful, visually pleasing, warranty protected lighting system you will enjoy for years to come.
