What happens here
After installing the paver lights, run low-voltage electrical wiring from each light fixture to a central power source or transformer. The video shows a worker actively running wire from the house, indicating the need to connect the system to the main electrical supply. Bury the wiring in conduit underneath the patio and surrounding landscape for protection and safety. Connect the low-voltage wires to a landscape lighting transformer, which then plugs into a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet, ensuring all connections are secure and waterproof.
Goal: Electrically connect the paver lights to a power source for illumination
