Landscape Lighting
Service-first guides for long-term reliability: voltage drop discipline, clean splices, transformer sizing/taps, and smart-control options that stay reachable.
Dim at the end
Voltage drop basics
Wire gauge and run length are the first checks when the far end looks weak.
Intermittent / flicker
Splice discipline
Most reliability failures are corrosion at connections—fix the splice, not the bulb.
Transformer questions
Sizing + taps
Correct tap selection helps you get predictable brightness without burning out lamps.
Most "half the yard is dim" calls are voltage drop + corrosion at splices. Hub enclosures keep branch runs serviceable.
Smart control only works when the transformer location stays reachable. If Wi-Fi is weak at the transformer, start with Smart Link.
