I understand the wiring and voltage drop etc... I need help with the lighting design. I want to light up the front of my home (stone face)(wall wash & columns) and do some up lighting and down lighting on trees (moon lighting effect) (wooded lot -nice mature trees). I've seen some really nice lighting in my area and understand the concepts but need help in knowing what kind of fixtures and bulbs - also placement.
Any suggestion on a good company? Minnesota - Twin Cities
ELS (Executive Lighting Solutions) They helped me out. It's great you can send them photos and they can even draw right on them to let you know where to put the fixtures. I was impressed with their knowledge on how to light different areas. I had gone through a couple of different landscape contractor but they didn't seem to know much about the different techniques, they just wanted to sell me fixtures.
Good luck. (I think they are up in your neck of the woods)

I am with a small landscape lighting company and need help with the design of a fixture.
specifically low voltage lighting. LED lighting knowledge a plus
you haven't defined the application/usage of the lighting...
Unidirectional ? Omnidirectional ? Swivel ? fixed ? Array ? standalone ? halogen ? LED ? polarized ? rechargeable solar ? hardwire ? plastic ? metal alloy ? decorative ?watt/electricity limits ? other design limitations or parameters ?
Anyhow, an engineering or home fixtures company could assist you.
I think I got a great deal on a new build home. Now it's time for the landscape, wiring, and design center appointments. I'm cool in all areas except the design center. Light fixtures, faucets, etc, I can do myself. Is it smart to upgrade the counter tops, cabinets, sinks, etc (major items)? The costs of these items are rolled into the price of the home at closing. OR should I wait until my finances permit and do them myself? The only thing I'm sure on upgrading is the carpet pad.
Kitchen and bath upgrades (especially master bath) are key resale selling points. Also crown molding in the primary living areas is a big plus. Good luck.
So my question was too long for Yahoo! but I converted it into a picture and posted in on imageshack.

HERES the question..

hard to say unless i see it for my self but........ read the receptacle..... there should be a "line" side and a "load" side .... the line side is the black wire that is hot when the circuit breaker is on... the other black is not on, that is the wire that feeds the "loads", ..the gfci ... ground fault circuit interrupter.....protects everything daisy chained after it.... so are there 3 black wires after you extended it to the back yard?....... those go on the load side.... black on brass color....all the whites under the silver screw..... and the green or bare copper to the ground screw .... and the black and red buttons are test and reset.... turn it on and push the reset button..... and if it is positively wired correctly and trips... the switch could be bad or something is grounded... good luck...

Small Garden Design
The overall design philosophy at Exterior Worlds states that the objective of any great landscape design , including small garden designs, is to create a space that is in relationship with your home and its surroundings. The essence of good landscape architecture is that your garden must functionally work together in every aspect and, at the same time, reveal your personal tastes and lifestyle. If you’ve recently remodeled your home, you may have changed its elevation or added a new room or otherwise reduced the size of your backyard and thus changed the spatial relationship of the house to the landscape. Perhaps your zero-lot line runs smack into the imposing three-story wall of a neighbor’s townhouse. Maybe your property is undersized and defined by boring straight lines. In other words: a small yard, but a big challenge.
Start by cataloging your assets and liabilities. For instance, list the...
Choosing A Landscape Lighting Design To Enhance A Yard
Outdoor landscape lighting is a way that homeowners can bring attention to an area of their yard during the evening. Landscape lighting design is often a way to combine both the ability to showcase features in a yard as well as keep pathways lit for safety reasons. Being able to use a landscape lighting design to both keep a yard area safe as well as beautiful is the goal of lighting.
For homeowners, the beginning steps in deciding which areas to light up involves being both practical and looking at the features of their yard that can be enhanced with lighting. Often these areas are obvious, but sometimes a homeowner can be surprised by just what a good landscape lighting design can bring out in their yard.
Looking At Landscape Lighting Design
When choosing a landscape lighting design, keep in mind that there are several options in lighting available. Solar lighting is a great way to showcase a particular area of a yard and doesn’t have to be connected to an outlet in order to work; on the other hand, the light is often not as strong as a traditional light.
