Add Ambiance with Patio Lighting
Increase ambiance and safety to your outdoor areas with Prime Patio’s low voltage lighting products (12V). There are many places on your course where patio lighting will beautify the landscape and experience of your customers. And, patio lighting design can match your design from formal to celebratory and even whimsical.
Low voltage patio lighting can be installed for year-round enhancement of your golf course patio, deck, pergola, pathways, stairways, archways, trees, and gazebos. They can be installed alongside structures or strung across open spaces using a guidewire.
Low Voltage Benefits
Although you can also install patio lighting using 120V, there are benefits of low voltage patio lighting. Safety is number one: 12v is safer than the standard 120v. The system and sockets transfer less power, which makes it safer by definition. Visitors can be assured of their children’s and pet’s safety.
Even though the system carries less power, LED bulbs can provide a light output of 120v, so still offer plenty of light, but with a softer and safer output.
Combine with Landscape Lighting
Low voltage patio lighting can run from an existing landscape transformer, provided the transformer has bandwidth for the extra connections. Typically, a 12V string uses 1 Watt per bulb, so you can calculate out how many feet of lighting string you can install, and how much it will pull from the transformer. If the existing transformer does not have available wattage capacity to support the new set of patio lights, you may need to add another transformer or upgrade the existing transformer to a higher wattage model.
Beautiful Bulbs
There are many beautiful low voltage light bulb options, from the classic “Sign Lamp” shape to the retro Amber “Edison” style. You can identify low voltage bulbs simply by the color of their threading. 12V bulbs have a brass colored threaded base where 120V bulbs have a nickel threaded base*.
