Accent Lights
Accent lights (directional spots & washes) shape your nighttime look—highlight trees, graze stone, and draw attention to signs, sculptures, and façades. Choose 12V low-voltage fixtures with integrated LED or lamp-ready MR16/PAR36 options in durable outdoor builds.
Shop by need
- Wall/ground washes: wide optics for hedges, fences, and façades

Quick choosing guide
- Select the beam: 10–25° to punch up trunks/statues; ~36° for general accents; 60°+ to wash walls/canopies.
- Set output & color: ~200–600 lm fits most accents; 2700–3000K feels warm and natural outdoors.
- Control glare: add louvers/visors and aim below sightlines—especially near paths or windows.
- Pick the mount: stake for beds/soil, riser for tall grasses, strap for tree-mounts, surface canopy for masonry.
- Power & wiring: size your 12V transformer for total watts + ~20% headroom and keep farthest fixtures near 11–12V.

Pro tips: Aim after dark for perfect highlights, cross-light key features to reduce harsh shadows, and keep fixtures out of mower lines. Use gel-filled connectors, bury cable per code, and match color temperature across the zone.
