Installing landscape lighting is easy, but keep in mind that it requires more than just the lighting fixtures. Landscape lighting systems also require:
- Transformer - The transformer is the power supply for your fixtures. It plugs into a standard household 110v outlet. The total lamp wattage of all fixtures connected to a transformer must be less than the capacity of the transformer. To determine which transformer you need, add up the wattage of all lamps and add 10% more as a safety factor. Example: If you're installing five light fixtures rated at 20 watts each, you will need a transformer that can accomodate at least 110 watts.
(TRANSFORMER SIZE = TOTAL WATTAGE OF LAMPS x 1.1)
- Cable - This is the electrical wire that runs from your transformer to your individual light fixtures. Determine the length of cable needed by measuring the distance from the outlet to the farthest fixture location. Adding branches of cable is recommended for lights that are not located in a straight line from the transformer to the farthest fixture, so include the length of cable that branches off the main line. Remember: always leave a couple extra feet of cable per fixture for potential repositioning.

Comments about Kichler Lighting Kichler Illuminated Bird Bath:
Look great and easy to install for a handy person..i have it wired to my landscape lights so all come-on at the same time...BUT be carefull with the GLASS BOWL ...it broke twice !!! and it costs about [$] to replace....for some odd reason eventhough it is open glass bowl...it breaks in the winter no matter how mild the winter is... it is like having your headlights on your car breaking every winter !!!...for the price it is a very poor design to pay [$] for the Bird Bath than a $150 for a replacement Glass Bowl !!!...since it is etched glass KICHLER couldn't figure out using clear/etched fiberglass or other flexible etched material for the Bowl !!! I took it out and threw it in the basement...i'm not paying a second $150 for a poorely design Bowl.

Comments about Kichler Lighting Kichler Illuminated Bird Bath:
This was a beautiful addition to our yard and garden, but definitely pricey. I was just going back to purchase a couple more and can't believe I spent that much on this. All in all, I still love it and have gotten a thousand compliments on it. One neighbor loved it so much she got the cheap version that she has to plug in if she wants to see it. Mine comes on automatically at dusk and is worth the extra money since it is hassle free once installed. It took the birds a while to get used to the glass water bowl, but now they come and play on it regularly. I bring in the bowl for the winter, since I am afraid to put it through the hard Wisconsin winters here. But it has lasted several frosts, since I put it out early in the spring to try to get the birds used to it right away again.
