Outdoor and Landscape Lighting in Mississauga

We stock low voltage outdoor lighting from in-lite and Kichler at our yard on Ninth Line in Mississauga, supplying homeowners and landscape contractors across the GTA and shipping Canada-wide. Both are 12 volt systems, which is what makes garden lighting something you can lay out yourself rather than a wiring job.

Path and Bollard Lighting

Path lights are the ones people picture first: low fixtures spaced along a walkway or driveway so the edges stop disappearing after dark. Bollards are the taller version, throwing light over a wider circle, which suits a driveway entrance or a long border. We carry 17 of them across both brands in path and bollard lighting.

Spacing matters more than brightness. Pools of light with dark gaps between them look worse than fewer fixtures spaced evenly, so plan the run before you buy the count.

Inground and Recessed Lights

Recessed fixtures sit flush with the surface, so you see the light and not the hardware. They go into driveways, patios, steps and planting beds where a visible fixture would spoil a clean line. Our inground and recessed lighting range covers 21 fixtures, including drive-over rated units for where cars pass.

Accent and Spot Lighting

Spots are for picking something out: a tree canopy, a stone wall, a water feature. Aimed upward they give drama, aimed across a surface they pick up texture. See accent and spot lighting.

Coping, Step and Wall Lights

Line lights run along step edges and wall caps, marking the transitions that disappear at night. They make stairs safer and give hardscaping a finished edge rather than a lit-up look. Browse coping and line lights.

Why Low Voltage Costs Less to Run

Both systems here run at 12 volts through LED fixtures, so a whole garden scheme draws a fraction of what older halogen lighting did. That matters twice over: your running cost drops, and one transformer can carry far more fixtures before you need a second.

It also changes the install. Low voltage cable does not need the depth and protection that line voltage does, so the run itself is something a competent homeowner can lay. The transformer needs a suitable outdoor outlet, so that part is worth confirming before you start.

in-lite or Kichler?

• in-lite is built around a plug-together 12V system: one transformer, a cable run, and fixtures that click on wherever you want them. It is the easier one to extend later, which is why it suits people doing the garden in stages. 56 fixtures in stock.
• Kichler is the broader decorative range, with cast brass path lights, hardscape bars, wall washes and in-ground fixtures. 45 in stock.

If you are not sure where to start, our guide on how to buy outdoor lighting walks through it in three steps.

What You Need Besides the Fixtures

Every low voltage scheme needs a transformer sized to the total wattage of the fixtures on it, plus cable to reach them. Undersize the transformer and the far end of the run dims. We stock transformers and power systems and the cable, connectors and accessories to go with them. Bring your fixture list and we will size the transformer with you.

Outdoor Lighting Questions

Do I need an electrician for low voltage garden lighting?

The 12V run itself is low voltage and within reach of a confident DIYer. The transformer has to plug into a suitable outdoor outlet, so if you do not already have one, that part is an electrician’s job.

How many path lights do I need?

Space them for an even wash rather than counting metres. Even spacing with fewer fixtures looks better than close spacing that leaves bright pools and dark gaps.

Can I mix in-lite and Kichler on the same system?

Both run at 12V, but connectors and transformer requirements differ. Ask us before mixing brands on one run.

Do you deliver outdoor lighting across the GTA?

Yes. Pick up in Mississauga, take GTA delivery, or have it shipped Canada-wide.
