12V Landscape Lighting: Low Voltage, High Impact
Low voltage lighting has long been the first choice for designers who want safer, simplified infrastructure. It’s subtle, easy to manage, and gives you options for where—and how—the light lands.
At HK Lighting, we build 12V systems that blend into the background while shaping the space. Whether you’re lighting plantings, paths, or architectural elements, our fixtures give you the flexibility to do it cleanly and with purpose.
Take a look at our full lineup of 12V fixtures, built to support design without taking it over.
Why 12V Lighting Matters in Landscape Design
12V systems are easy to install, safe to work with, and offer the kind of long-term flexibility that makes sense on most projects. If you’re lighting near plantings, walkways, or uneven ground, low voltage gives you more control and fewer headaches.
It also supports precise beam aiming, lower energy use, and simpler dimming or zoning, without losing performance or clarity.
That’s why it shows up everywhere from home gardens to hotel courtyards. It lets you light the space without changing how it feels.
At HK Lighting, we push that further. Every fixture is built to perform beyond specs – in the field, in the weather, and over time.
Built for the Demands of the Outdoors
Outdoor conditions are never static. Fixtures take on moisture, debris, salt, impact, and big temperature swings. That’s why our 12V products are machined from solid aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum, sealed to IP67 standards, and finished with a marine-grade anodized and powder-coated coating.
These aren’t just design decisions. They’re there to make sure the light works, quietly and reliably, no matter what it’s exposed to.
Whether tucked into a planting bed, set into a hardscape, or mounted directly to a structure, our low voltage fixtures are meant to disappear by day and define the space by night.
Technical Performance and Flexibility
Every 12V system we build is designed with professionals in mind. You get the output, control, and mounting flexibility needed to support real-world project work—without overcomplicating the job.

Applications of Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting
Low voltage outdoor lighting is ideal for a wide variety of applications, including:
Pathways and Driveways
Enhance safety and guide visitors with elegantly lit walkways.
Gardens and Foliage
Highlight the natural beauty of plants, trees, and landscaping features with subtle, focused illumination.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Create inviting and functional environments for patios, decks, and outdoor seating areas.
Architectural Accents
Draw attention to building facades, sculptures, and other design elements with precise, directional lighting.
Lighting That Works with the Design, Not Against It
Lighting should support the space, not compete with it. It helps guide movement, define edges, and reveal texture without adding clutter or visual noise.
That’s the idea behind every 12V fixture we make at HK Lighting. With clean lines, compact form factors, and finish options that blend into their surroundings, our fixtures stay out of the way during the day and quietly shape the space after dark.
This is lighting that respects the design story and gives it space to unfold.
FAQ: 12V Landscape Lighting
What are the benefits of using 12V lighting outside?
You can get light where you want it without a lot of complexity, and it’s safer to install. Most designers use it because it fits almost anywhere and gives them more control over how the space feels at night.
Can 12V systems work on both small and large sites?
Yes. They’re commonly used in everything from small gardens and patios to long walkways and larger architectural features. The flexibility is one of the main reasons designers rely on them.
Why choose HK Lighting for 12V fixtures?
Because we build for real conditions. Our fixtures combine tight optics, clean finishes, and durable materials that hold up over time in exposed environments.
Can I customize HK Lighting’s 12V products?
Yes. You can adjust the optics, pick the finish, choose how it mounts, and set the dimming to fit your layout. We give you options so the light works with the space, not against it.
How long do your 12V lights typically last?
Our fixtures are made from solid aluminum and sealed against water and debris. They’re meant to be installed once and left alone, even in places with salt, heat, or moisture in the air.
