Wired System or Solar Stakes
Solar Stakes or a Wired System: Where the Difference Shows
Output and placement
A solar stake gives back whatever the day's sun put into its battery, so after a cloudy afternoon of thunderstorms the path goes dim. A wired system runs from the transformer at the same output each night. Each fixture is placed and aimed for a job: the edge of a walk, a step, a trunk, or the face of the house. LED lamps keep the power draw low.
Materials in the ground
Stainless-steel fixture bodies, cable rated for direct burial, and sealed, waterproof connections at every splice. Florida soil stays damp, and a connection that lets water in corrodes until a run goes dark.
Upkeep
One transformer and one timer run the whole yard. Lamps can be replaced without replacing the fixture, and cable is laid away from where edgers and string trimmers work. Solar stakes carry their own batteries and panels, and each one wears out on its own schedule.
What a Landscape System Is Made Of
The low-voltage transformer
The transformer steps household 120-volt power down to 12 volts for the path lights and uplights. It mounts on an exterior wall or post beside a GFCI-protected outdoor outlet or circuit, and it's sized to the total wattage of the fixtures, with room to add more fixtures. A built-in timer or photocell decides when the lights come on.
The fixtures
- Pathway and step lights. Low, downward light along walks, drives, and steps.
- Uplights and spotlights. Aimed up into oaks and palms, or across the front of the house.
- Lamp posts. A taller post at the drive or the walk. Many run on 120 volts from their own buried circuit, separate from the low-voltage system.
The trench
Low-voltage cable is buried shallow along beds and walks. A 120-volt circuit to a lamp post is buried deeper, at the depth specified by the electrical code for the cable or conduit used. Oak roots and limestone slow a trench down, which is why the route gets planned before anyone digs.

What sets the price
Landscape Lighting Pricing
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.
Our warranty
04If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.
