Low Voltage Step Light & Transformer Replacement – Cape Coral, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: LOW VOLTAGE STEP LIGHT & TRANSFORMER REPLACEMENT – CAPE CORAL, FL

We recently completed an outdoor lighting service project in Cape Coral, FL 33914. The homeowner had reported issues with failed step lights near the master side wall and a non-working landscape transformer that controlled palm tree lights. Our team was dispatched to troubleshoot and replace the faulty components, restoring both safety and ambiance to the property.

WHAT WE DID:

• Removed (3) existing failed 12V step lights along the master side wall steps
• Supplied and installed (3) new contractor-grade, weather-rated 12V LED step lights
• Properly reconnected wiring and sealed all fixtures to prevent future moisture intrusion
• Tested each light to ensure full functionality with the existing low voltage system
• Disconnected and removed the failed 12V landscape transformer on the left side of the house
• Installed a new exterior-rated 12V low voltage transformer sized for the palm light load
• Tested the transformer under load to confirm stable operation
• Reconnected palm light circuits and verified that all lighting operated correctly

THE RESULT:

The homeowner now enjoys a fully restored landscape lighting system. The new LED step lights provide reliable illumination along the steps for safety and nighttime visibility. The new transformer powers the palm lights consistently, enhancing curb appeal and creating a welcoming outdoor environment. All work was completed with attention to detail and compliance with electrical best practices.

How long did this job take?
The full replacement, including removal, installation, and testing, was completed in about 3.5 hours.

Why were the step lights replaced instead of repaired?
The original fixtures had failed due to moisture damage. Replacing them with weather-rated LED models ensures longer lifespan and reliability.

What type of transformer was installed?
A new contractor-grade, exterior-rated 12V transformer was installed, specifically designed for landscape lighting loads.

Can you upgrade my entire outdoor lighting system to LED?
Yes. Coharbor Electric frequently retrofits older landscape lighting systems with energy-efficient LED fixtures and modern transformers for long-term performance.
