lights built into the pavers are a must. #hardscape #outdoorlighting
What happens here
Carefully place each in-ground light fixture into its prepared opening. Connect the light's lead wires to the main landscape lighting wire using waterproof wire connectors. Ensure all connections are secure and watertight to prevent issues with moisture and corrosion. Once connected, tuck any excess wire neatly into the space beneath the light. Backfill around the light with bedding sand or gravel, ensuring the light fixture is level and flush with the surrounding pavers, as shown in the video.
Goal: Securely install and connect each in-ground light fixture to the power supply.
