lights built into the pavers are a must. #hardscape #outdoorlighting
What happens here
With the paver openings ready, it's time to run the low-voltage landscape lighting wire from your power source (transformer) to each light location. Dig shallow trenches (typically 4-6 inches deep) along the planned routes to conceal the wiring. Ensure you leave enough slack at each light fixture location for easy connection. The video hints at the lights bordering areas, which suggests a continuous run or daisy-chaining of lights. Once the wire is laid in the trenches, it's ready for connection to the individual lights.
Goal: Run landscape lighting wire from the power source to all light locations.
