Wondering what type of landscape lights you need for your outdoor lighting design?
There are quite a few choices in landscape lighting types. Not only can you choose between materials, but you can also choose the kind of light fixture or mixture of fixtures you prefer. If you are considering a new outdoor lighting installation, here is information about those choices.

These can be cost-effective, but you must consider your investment and how long your lights will serve their purpose.

Plastic lights have their own set of potential issues; mainly warping and cracking.
