You don’t have to replace your chandelier or wall sconces; just a couple of little tweaks, and you’ll see the magic almost instantly. You can, for example, create a cute spring-inspired sign with neon rope lights, and complement the vibe with colorful TV backlights + a sleek corner floor lamp. Or, you could also go for something like a torchiere floor lamp to cast a soft & inviting glow. @RomanticzingRach 2. Spring Mantel Decor Credit: Decoholic Spring is the perfect excuse to rethink your mantel, even if you don’t want to fully redecorate the room. A few light, seasonal layers can refresh the whole space, plus it’s so affordable. Just add some flowers, real or faux, both work. Keep the color scheme spring-themed (pastels, whites, or greens), and you can also add something playful, like the butterflies here, for extra charm. 3. Coastal Hues Credit: Desiree Burns Interiors A simple way to freshen your decor for spring is to change up the accent pillows, replacing warm winter textures like wool with crisp cotton in pastel shades. Pastel blue + white is a great pair if you want something spring-inspired but minimal. 4. Spring Collage Credit: Lobster and Swan Your living room walls are another fun opportunity for spring decorating ideas. Create a collage from any stack of magazines and papers lying around, arranging it all in a gilded frame. This is a simple DIY project for people of all ages, and a nice way to mark the season at home, reminding you to enjoy what you love about it while it lasts. 5. Spring Bookshelf Decor Credit: Inspired by Charm The secret to the best spring home decor is focusing on all the little details throughout your home, even in functional areas like the bookshelves. Here, the homeowner styled their space by editing the book display to include blues and greens, introducing fresh greenery, and grouping vintage farm animals and bunnies under glass display domes. 6. Spring Table Decor Credit: Lobster and Swan Swap out your regular living room console table vase with this unique accent piece. Just bring the loveliest flowers from your garden into the house and pop them into a delicate vintage glass bud vase, then place each in a covered glass dome for a stunning jewel-box vibe.

Front Porch Reset Credit: Finding Lovely Your front porch is the perfect place to lean into spring decorating ideas. Add spring flowers in planter boxes, a new rug, and a wreath on the door.

Front Door Wreath Credit: Thistlewood Farms Hanging a spring wreath on your front door is a sweet way to make your guests feel welcomed. You can keep it simple, like this one made with eucalyptus leaves and spring flowers. Or, you could go all out with a fuller wreath, using seasonal blooms, ribbons, and textured greenery. 11. Outdoor Wall Art Credit: @hobbylobby (Instagram) Who says wall art can only go inside your home? Definitely not us. Display all sorts of spring wall hangings on an outdoor patio (or garden) wall for a cheerful seasonal backdrop. 12. Charming Porch Swing Credit: @simplysoutherncottage (Instagram) Give yourself a slow, cozy moment with a hanging porch swing, and it’s easier to install than you might think.

Statement Lights Credit: Govee pendant lights Illuminate your kitchen island with bold pendant lights, and add decorative fixtures in a similar hue (think: oranges and tulips) to match. You can even switch up the colors of these Govee Pendant Lights, so if you’re changing out the flowers and fruits, you can also customize the lighting accordingly. 14. Simple Flower Display Credit: Annie Diamond Seasonal blooms, like nasturtiums, zinnias, and cosmos, can turn that bare kitchen wall into a living work of colorful art. This setup, made of painted white pine boards + a couple of glass test tubes, enhances this otherwise boring corner in the best possible way. 15. Rainbow Glassware Credit: Alyssa Rosenheck Head to any vintage store nearby (or your grandma’s attic) to find vibrant stem glasses to display on the open shelves in your kitchen. Arrange them by height, color, or any other way that’s pleasing to the eye. 16. Green Kitchen Cabinets Credit: Emily Henderson Design If you’re planning to renovate your kitchen, there’s no better time than spring. Give your lower cabinets a soothing dose of a nature-inspired hue, like this lovely sage green. It spells “spring,” but looks just as good in the other three seasons, too. Don’t forget to fill your windowsill with leafy green plants for a vibrant feel. 17. Wildflower Mural Credit: @lucytiffney (Instagram) Transform your kitchen into a year-round spring wildflower meadow with a minimal hand-painted botanical mural, like this cute design from Lucy Tiffney. 18. Lemon Centerpiece Credit: Domestically Beautiful Turn Baby Breath and fresh lemons into a creative spring centerpiece for your kitchen island. You will need two vases, one that fits into the other, to recreate this idea. Place it on a seagrass tray and pair it with a lemon-scented candle to add to the fresh, citrusy vibe. Spring Bedroom Decorating Ideas 19. Whimsical Roman Shades Credit: Ryann Swan After the bedding, the window treatments deserve an upgrade for the season, too. Take it as a chance to brighten up the room with a punch of color, like baby blue. From the whimsical Roman shade to the printed throw at the foot of the bed, the homeowner adds soft accents. 20. Lighter Bedding Credit: Tidbits & Company You don’t have to go overboard to give your home a spring refresh. Just changing out the bedding can single-handedly do most of the work. Bonus points if you can add a floral accent pillow, paired with a vase of fresh blooms on the bedside table. 21. Canopy of Roses Credit: Ellie Cashman Design Spring decorating ideas for the kids’ bedroom can be super exciting, too! In this dreamy girl's room, a rose-printed canopy drapes around the bed. A group of butterflies and fireflies hanging high on the wall is another cue that spring has sprung. 22. Sherbet Shades Credit: Will Brown Interiors Spring has always been the season for pastels, from Sunday dresses to Easter eggs to cafeteria windows loaded with multi-hued macarons. Following that aesthetic, the soft gray and beige base of this bedroom has been warmed up with cool-toned sherbet peaches, pinks, blues, and lavenders. 23. Bold Florals for Bedroom Credit: Alvin Wayne Just because your taste leans more into a dark, moody interior doesn’t mean you can’t introduce some spring bling into your home. A bold floral statement piece above the bed is absolutely perfect for the season, but sits right anytime of the year. Finish with pink roses in glass vases on both side tables for a symmetrical look. 24. Yellow Wall for Spring Bedroom Decor Credit: Mindy Gayer Design Co.

This darling design will definitely steal your heart, mixing textured branches with delicate dogwood. 4. Easter Eggs + Florals Infuse your kitchen counter or coffee table with Easter spirit using a fresh floral display. We’re absolutely obsessed with this hydrangea arrangement that features a pastel egg base in a rustic wire basket. 5. Color-Blocked Wire Basket Home decorating ideas for Easter can be one of the simplest projects and bring you the most joy. This color-blocked wire basket is a simple alternative to the traditional Easter basket and a super exciting project for those who love DIY and textiles. Replicate the color scheme and you’ll have a lovely, functional piece for the entire spring. 6. Easter Table Decorating Ideas Set a simple Easter table with a few key items—an Easter egg tied into a pretty blue cloth to mimic bunny eggs. We love how the soft, earthy tones play so well with the white plates and modern gold flatware. Add in a gauzy runner and a whimsical centerpiece made of dried grasses and pampas, and you’ve got a spring-ready table that feels fresh, festive, and totally photo-worthy. 7. Hanging Eggs To double down on the symbols of spring, try hanging dyed eggs from flowering branches. You can simply order blown-out eggs with small holes on each end, and get straight to the fun. Tint them in inviting hues (some solid-colored, some striped), and pull a ribbon through each to create a loop on top. 8. Egg Garlands This garland is truly to dye for. Tint blown-out eggs in a few serene colors that complement your space. No knots needed; simply hang each egg with a thin piece of string to a length of twine and drape it across your mantel, sideboard, or banister. Finish off with a touch of greenery and a few scented candles for an extra layer of charm. 9. Personalized Decor Ditch boring place cards with personalized, dyed eggs on each plate. Sounds quirky, but looks super cool. Use a permanent marker to write down your guest’s name on the egg, and place it on a mini DIY nest arranged on the plate. Bonus points if you can accent with a couple of your favorite seasonal blooms. 10. Easter Bunny Banner This lovely Easter decor idea starts with a plain canvas fabric. Once you cut your banner shape, paint on a bunny (doesn’t necessarily have to be as fancy as shown in the picture; a simple silhouette would do, too), and stick a bright yarn pom-pom tail. Hop to it 11. DIY Easter Decorations Credit: Carson Downing Use basic salt dough to design a set of vibrant bunny napkin rings. Just a few drops of food coloring give the ornaments aesthetic swirls of color, perfect for a springtime brunch. Not only do they introduce a fun festive touch, but making and decorating Easter ornaments is a super fun family activity, for both adults and kids. 12. Easter Centerpiece Tray A minimal, springy, holiday-themed idea. Grab a lovely serving tray from your kitchen; any that you have, would be great if it matches the overall color scheme. Fill with mosses, speckled eggs, spring candles, a bunny statue, and some delicious candies. 13. Bunny Vase Pro Tip: Keep an eye out year-round to land unique finds you can use for your spring (and summer) decor. This funky, bunny flower vase is sold as a piece for the kids’ room, but works overtime as a whimsical addition to your Easter Sunday decor. 14. Carrot-Shaped Wreath Credit: Gabriela Hardan This easy-to-make door decoration combines two spring garden favorites: tulips and carrots. Faux greenery and tulips (available in bunches, but this design uses individual flowers) have been fastened together with floral wire, gradually widening to create the shape of a carrot. A simple ribbon ties it all together. 15. Simple Swaps Easter decorating ideas don’t have to break the bank—and this living room proves it. A couple of simple swaps, if done tactfully, can do wonders. Here, the floral blue-and-white cushions bring in a playful spring print that echoes the season’s fresh start, while the vibrant hydrangea bouquet on the coffee table becomes an instant showstopper. Layer in seasonal reads, natural textures like rattan baskets, and a few greenery pops in the shelves—and voilà! Your room is Easter-ready without any fuss. 16. Patterned Table When your tablecloth becomes the centerpiece, you know you’ve struck seasonal decor gold. This Easter tablescape is one of our favorite Easter spring decorating ideas, with a soft botanical print tablecloth that sets the tone for everything else. Layered with gold flatware, green-tinted glassware, and crisp white dinnerware rimmed in gold, the setting feels so fresh. Whether you’re hosting brunch or a formal holiday dinner, a patterned table like this one is proof that a little detail goes a long way. 17. Pretty Palms Who says Easter has to be all pastels and bunnies? This year, give your spring decor a modern twist with fresh palm accents. Paired with soft pink and white blooms, the greenery adds contrast, texture, and just the right amount of drama. Style it in a sculptural ceramic vase or lay it flat across your table runner. Either way, palm leaves bring a breezy, effortless feel that’s perfect for both Easter brunch and everyday spring styling. Bonus: they last longer than delicate flowers and work beautifully with both vibrant and neutral color palettes. 18. Blue Nests Play up the beauty of neutral eggs with a stunning jewel tone. This gem of a nest was crafted from an old wicker basket that had been coated blue. Don’t worry if you skip holes here and there while painting; a bit of unruliness ups the charm. 19. Easter Tree Extend the idea of artificial trees from Christmas all the way to Easter… or even the entire spring! And why not? A mini tree is the cutest Easter decoration to set the holiday tone. Delicate faux florals in soft pinks, creamy whites, and baby blues intertwine with speckled eggs for a look that feels fresh from the garden. It’s beautifully balanced, not overly fussy, and so easy to style. 20. Easter Egg Muffins Talk about almost too pretty to eat. Easter Egg Muffins: moist, delicious, and absolutely adorable—the kind of treat that would make you stop mid-bite just to admire how cute it is. Display them on a tiered stand or serve individually on fine china to really lean into that elegant springtime vibe. Really, the best addition to your Easter brunch table and Instagram feed! 21. Candleholder Minimalists, this one is for you. No pastels, no bright colors. Just a sleek, simple addition (read: egg-shaped candleholder) to set the right mood. Shaped like a delicate, cracked egg, this textured candle adds the perfect glow to your spring setup. Pair it with dried florals and neutral tones for an Easter decorating idea that’s effortlessly elegant. Just like that, you can also try cute indoor Easter decoration ideas, like using a Goove Neon Rope Light to create the shape of an Easter egg or rabbit on your living room wall. Sleek but statement. 22. Tiered Bouquets Enliven your upcoming buffet with an arrangement of lovely tulips presented in eggcups on a tiered cake stand. Sprinkle some candies around to make it edible as well as aesthetic. 23. Vibrant Garden Party Prepare for Easter with this special gathering in the garden. Host a design-your-own-centerpiece party. Ask everyone to bring their own baskets for the arrangements and offer a variety of potted plants. Gloves and gardening shears make great affordable party favors. 24. Tulip Topper Quick, last-minute idea. Grab your favorite-colored tulips, and wrap them in white ribbon to create a lovely plate topper. Guests can even take them home as a keepsake—nothing more heartwarming than that, is there? Remember to choose tulips that haven’t fully opened yet. Also, keep them under indirect light until ready to set the table. 25. Printable Easter Sign Let the hunt begin—in style! Stick up a sign, like this one, to help little bunnies navigate their way to sweet surprises. Print a few more signs with phrases like “You’re Getting Warmer,” “This Way to Treats,” or “Almost There!” and place them throughout the yard or home to guide the players along the way. It turns the classic egg hunt into an adorable adventure—and makes your Easter decor idea look totally put together while you're at it. Final Words And there you have it—Easter decorating ideas that are as charming as they are cheerful. To take things up a notch (especially once the sun sets), don’t forget to add a little glow.

One of the easiest ways to upgrade your outdoor space is with great lighting. Paired with fixtures on your home and thoughtfully placed lights around your landscape, outdoor pathways deserve just as much attention. Sure, planning pathway lighting ideas might feel overwhelming (considering the hundreds of options available), but it doesn’t have to. With both aesthetics and functionality in mind, we’ve rounded up a couple of our favorite picks to make the decision simple for you. Types of Pathway Lighting Smart Color Changing Pathway Lighting Credit: Govee outdoor lights Smart pathway lights have systems that let you manage the lighting through apps, motion sensors, or voice assistants, rather than just basic timers or manual switches. The best part is, they don’t change how the fixtures look- still as design-forward. Solar Pathway Lights Credit: The Spruce Solar pathway lights are one of the most popular choices for outdoor walkways, and for good reason. They’re easy to install, energy-efficient, and ideal if you want a low-commitment upgrade without wiring. Most solar lights simply stake into the ground and charge during the day, then automatically switch on at dusk. However, solar pathway lights depend heavily on sunlight, which means shady areas, dense trees, or short winter days can be a problem. Low-Voltage LED Pathway Lights Credit: Nebo Low-voltage LED lights connect to a transformer that plugs into a standard outdoor outlet, and because they don’t rely on sunlight, they work especially well for shaded pathways, front walkways, side yards, and entry paths where reliability matters. In-Ground / Recessed Lights Credit: Omnissal A great option if you’re looking for a more polished look. No visible fixtures, just a subtle wash of light that defines the path beautifully. Though installation requires a bit more planning (such as proper drainage and weather-rated housings), in-ground lights can handle foot traffic with ease once installed correctly. Bollard & Post Lights Credit: Up Shine A classic pathway lighting idea. Casting light outwards and downwards, bollard fixtures are ideal for long or open walkways, shared paths, and areas where people approach from multiple directions. The primary consideration when working with these fixtures is spacing, which often has a bigger impact than brightness. Fewer fixtures, placed thoughtfully, usually look better than a tightly packed row. Step Lighting Credit: Sagan Electric Step lighting is all about safety with a subtle design payoff. Each fixture is installed directly into stair risers or the sides of steps, helping guide movement and avoid tripping hazards. They’re basically a 2-in-1: practicality and ambiance, together. 15 Creative Pathway Lighting Ideas Mushroom Pathway Lights Credit: @libertylandscapessupply (Instagram) These matte mushroom pathway lights are simple and sleek, perfect if you’re searching for something that does the job but doesn’t steal focus. Given the narrow spread of light they cast, they’re an incredible option to highlight any architectural features in your backyard. Subtle Downlighting Credit: Jit Lim Path lighting is usually done using downlights. The key is to choose discreet fixtures that illuminate the pathway without dominating the design. Also, try to opt for smaller spike lights with angled heads, so you can adjust and move them around as plants grow and the landscape shifts. Patterned Illumination Lights Credit: Etsy These wired pathway lights feature an interesting pattern that is both classic and decorative. You can install the light cascade on the path on its own, or set it against a backdrop of lovely flowers that align well with the light itself. Rustic Lanterns Credit: Adam Potts For a quick, temporary solution, line your pathway with lanterns- an easy way to bring some magic to your backyard and help guests navigate around the space. Stick to a unison look, or mix shapes, styles, and heights for an eclectic feel. Remember to use LED candles (not real flames) that won’t get put out by damp conditions, and also reduce the fire risks. Recessed Look Credit: @cos.design (Instagram) Recessed fixtures can be handy for modern lighting ideas, where you don’t want bulky lights to block the way. They are practical for small backyards, as they illuminate the area without taking up much space, helping to create the illusion of extra square footage. Garden String Lights Credit: Getty Images Footlights are helpful when illuminating your garden path, but strands of string lights lining a walkway can create a stunning ambiance. Get a long strand of socket bulbs, either classic or warm white, or swap them out for a more vibrant set to add some backyard whimsy. Swaying Reed Lights Credit: @dazuma.us Solar reed lights are a fun option if you want to enhance your existing plants or to simply introduce a more whimsical approach. Designed to dance in the breeze, these would work well placed within planters along your path or stacked among any tall grasses. Moonlighting Credit: Is It Sharp Moonlighting is the art of bringing soft light into your garden to illuminate the landscape exactly like the moon would. Instead of placing lights low to the ground, this technique involves higher lighting points to create drama as it illuminates the different silhouettes of your lawn. Light from Above Credit: Christian DuRocher Pathway lighting doesn’t have to stop at ground level; it can also come from above. Think woven pendants, string lights, or soft lanterns hung from trees or pergolas, gently guiding the way. It’s an approach that feels “planned,” and more atmospheric. Handrail Lighting Credit: Livers Bronze If your pathway includes railings or low boundary edges, hide the lighting there. Slim LED strips tucked beneath handrails or along path edges cast light downward exactly where it’s needed. Glass Globe Pathway Lights Credit: Wayfair If you wish to line an awkward area that has no nearby lawn to stake into, these glass globes are the best option. Along with being both beautiful and practical, they can also be repurposed elsewhere in the garden as needed. Wall-Wash Path Lighting Credit: American Outdoor Lighting Instead of lighting the path directly, let nearby walls do the work. Low fixtures aimed upward can wash fences or retaining walls with light, subtly outlining the walkway, all without placing anything directly in the path. Firework Lights Credit: @by_aainaya (Instagram) As another mid-height choice for pathway lighting ideas, these fun & festive firework-shaped lights are so cool. They’d work well tucked among your garden beds, or closer to the walkway. They’re also available in multiple colors at multiple stores. Moroccan Pathway Lanterns Credit: Made in China An idea that’s truly different and special. Hang these Moroccan lanterns to guide guests along your paths. Dangling from shepherd’s hooks, they create an intricate pattern along the path, or can be set further to cast that beautiful glow on the backyard walls. Glow-in-the-Dark Path Edging Credit: Glow Path Technology For a fun and unexpected twist, glow stones or photoluminescent edging can define the path without traditional fixtures. They charge during the day and softly glow at night, a quirky addition to playful garden paths. Technical Guide: Solar vs. Low Voltage vs. Hardwired Pathway Lighting Credit: William MacCollum The right system for pathway lighting comes down to how much consistency and control you’re comfortable with. Each option has its place, meaning it’s less about “best” and more about what fits your space + lifestyle. Solar pathway lighting, for example, is the easiest entry point. Quick to install, budget-friendly, and doesn’t require wiring or professional help, but it is overly dependent on sunlight, which can be a problem on cloudy days. Low-voltage pathway lighting, on the other hand, offers a better balance between convenience and reliability. Powered through a transformer plugged into an outdoor outlet, these systems deliver steady illumination regardless of sun exposure, explaining why they’re a popular choice for front walkways and frequently used paths. Hardwired pathway lighting is the most permanent option, as it is connected directly to your home’s electrical system. This setup is ideal for large properties, long pathways, or designs that rely on precise light placement. Because installation usually requires trenching and an electrician, it’s best suited for new builds or major landscape upgrades. FAQs about Walkway Lighting Ideas What are the newest path light trends? Smart lighting fixtures are the latest path-light trend, with top options including: Subtle, hidden fixtures Warm illumination Automated systems Minimalist designs Sustainable options Artistic fixtures How many lumens should walkway lights be? Generally, 100-200 lumens per fixture is ideal for standard visibility, with options to go lower (50-100 lumens) for subtle ambiance or higher (200-300 lumens) for more dramatic illumination. How to light an outdoor pathway? A good rule of thumb is to use a mix of accent and ambient lighting, then… Space each fixture 8 to 15 feet apart Choose warm LED bulbs Try techniques like moonlighting Keep most of the light low & directed downward Avoid lining both sides too symmetrically (the goal isn’t an overly staged look) Final Words Walkways are often left as an afterthought, but they can, in fact, serve as a stunning design statement, especially when properly illuminated. And there’s nothing complicated. Just layer the lighting, and you’re good to go.

What to Look for When Buying Outdoor String Lights When buying any outdoor string light, one should check up on the bulb type, power source, weather protection, and its smart features. Bulb Type: LED vs. Incandescent LED bulbs clearly make it in the long-run as they last up to 50000 hours, turn on instantly, use less electricity to produce the same effect at incandescent bulbs, and can perform reliable in harsh climate. It’s only their costly price that matters. Incandescent bulbs prove valuable for short-term usage as they last only 1000 hours, provide a warmer glow with smooth dimming. However, they are fragile and generate much heat too. Power Source: Solar, Plug-in, or Battery Solar powered-lights depends heavily upon sunlight and battery capacity but prove energy independent.

With a well-planned landscape lighting system, you can completely transform your outdoor environment, making it more beautiful, safe, and useful even after the sun sets. This full-color manual takes you through all the steps necessary to get it right, with the planning and choice of fixtures, all the way to location and installation, to produce a professionally lit landscape that will be as attractive and as functional as possible. Part 1: Select Your Types of Landscape Lighting Path lights are the best ones that can be used to light up walkways, driveways, and garden paths to enhance security and movement in the dark. Spotlights and flood lights are usually applied to accentuate the focus, e.g., trees, statues, or architectural features. Spotlights provide a small, dramatic light, while floodlights illuminate larger areas. Deck lights and step lights, which are used to provide a softer lighting, are used to improve stairs, patios, and railings without overwhelming the space. Lastly, string lighting and wall lights add coziness and atmosphere, and outdoor areas become more welcoming for evening events. Govee outdoor lights provide a wide range of landscape lighting options to decorate your garden >> Part 2. Essential Equipment for Landscape Light Installation Basic items such as light fixtures that are used outside of the house, low-voltage cables, and an efficient transformer are used to regulate power safely. Waterproof connectors will ensure that the wiring is not affected by moisture and corrosion. Mounting stakes or brackets to mount them in place and a timer or intelligent controller to operate on autopilot will also be required. Simple equipment like a shovel, a wire stripper, and a voltage tester is helpful in ensuring the installation process is clean, safe, and efficient. Part 3. How to Install Landscape Lighting? Here is a detailed step-by-step guide to installing outdoor landscape lighting. Step 1. To prevent damage to any existing cables or irrigation lines during low-voltage landscape lighting installation, physically identify them. Step 2. Assemble landscape lighting fixtures, removing all items first, then install the bulbs in the lumbar fixtures. Three major types of mounting are stake mounting, which entails the insertion of a stake into the soil; surface mounting, which involves the use of a power drill to secure the mounting onto a hard surface; and in-ground mounting, which demands the use of some digging tools such as a spade or post hole digger. Step 3. Using the project map you made during planning, clear a route for your wire lines and arrange your fixtures. Step 4. Install your low-voltage transformer in a proper place, with 1 foot of clearance on all sides, at least 30 feet from water features, and on a heat-resistant surface. Step 5. Installation of low-voltage cables requires a shovel or special equipment to dig trenches. The depth is to conform to local codes, which is at least 6 inches. Once the wires have been laid in the trenches, cover them with dirt and leave 5 feet of uncovered wire on either end to make adjustments. Step 6. To connect a system, use a clamp-connect transformer with a lever, not a screw. Attach the transformer by inserting one of the wires in the com terminal and the other in either a 12-volt or 15-volt terminal, then connect the transformer depending on the length of wires run, and the power needed. Wrap the wire coming out with conduit up to the ground. Step 7. To connect fixtures, splice the fixture lead wires to the main runs using twist-on or clamp connectors. In twist-on connections, one-half inch of wire is stripped, brought together clockwise, and placed into a cap, twisting until the wire spins with it. In the case of clamp connections, the stripped wire ends are inserted into the terminal, the lever is pressed, and the housing is closed to ensure that the connections are not exposed to moisture. When connecting several fixtures, it is advisable to use a hub to simplify the connections; hubs can be placed above ground or buried. Step 8. To check your system, once you have made connections, turn on the transformer and walk around your property, and make sure that each and every light is on. A faulty connection may also be indicated by a failed light. Step 9. If your fixtures are operational, start playing with them to see their lighting effects at night. Venture out onto your property to confirm that the lights point to landscape features in the right direction and that no glare can be minimized by adjusting the angle of the light or using a glare guard. Step 10. After finishing, any remaining wires can be buried, and your timer can be programmed on the transformer. Congratulations – Installation has been completed!
