Want a yard that’s a shimmering showplace? A deck that entertains? Walkways that beckon? Today you’ll learn how to make your home inviting by adding dramatic low-voltage lighting. In just a few hours you can turn your yard into a spectacular light show with many hues of low-voltage lights illuminating trees and shrubs, walkways, gardens, lawns -- and trailing off into the night. You can start with a simple design and then add to it anytime you like. Installation is easy because low-voltage systems are simple and safe to work with. A typical kit contains 10 or 20 lights, a transformer that steps up current to 12 volts and a timer that controls on and off settings. Low-voltage cables just snap together, joining light after light. When you’re done, you won’t believe the breathtaking beauty it creates, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. And that's the On The House tip for today.
