Low Voltage
Landscape
Lighting Landscape lighting powered at less than 15
volts and limited to luminaires having a rated
initial luminaire lumen output of 525 lumens
or less.
Lumen The unit of measure used to quantify the
amount of light produced by a lamp or
emitted from a luminaire (as distinct from
“watt,” a measure of power consumption).
Luminaire The complete lighting unit (fixture), consisting
of a lamp, or lamps and ballast(s) (when ap-
plicable), together with the parts designed to
distribute the light (reflector, lens, diffuser), to
position and protect the lamps, and to connect
the lamps to the power supply.
