So beautiful. This lights your property up beautifully. I love this. I’m an outdoor light fan. I have the store bought lights from Lowe’s. Wish I had property like yours to light up. My husband would love your yard.

Thanks for watching! I love outdoor lights too. Really makes the property pop from the street! If haven't seen it yet I just lighted the front part of the property a few weeks ago DIY Smart Landscape Lights: INSTALL & COSTS kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqWwoqp5rLSChbM

Thx for watching! Congrats on the retirement too! I have about 5 more years to go! DIY is a hobby for me I enjoy it and I save money along the way :) Take care!

[@benconley5667]

Hi, I love this set up! What low voltage transformer do you use and what app to control the lights? Thanks!

[@HomeProHero]

Thanks for watching Ben! I used a 75w transformer I bought on Amazon amzn.to/3OrbfS2 (YOU CAN GET BIGGER TRANSFORMERS IF NEEDED). I hooked up 12 - 3watt path lights for 36watts and 4 - 6.5watts uplights for a total of 26 watts. I still have 13 watts left :) I keep the transform in the house and its tied into a Lutron smart switch light like this one amzn.to/3BMlhp9 but you can also use a Lutron dimmer since the transformer is dimmable. I use the same transformer in my house to dim rope lighting using the Lutron dimmers. I set the schedule for my outdoor lights to come on at dusk and turn off 4hrs later. I can also control the lights with the Lutron phone app and Alexa. I addition I have a Lutron pico remote in my pavilion that turns on all light on or off :) Take care!
