Chose Right Paint Color Home
This I write is inspired home of a friend. Once inside the house, we directly feel the cool atmosphere of the paint color selection. Supported by the fish pond on the front porch filled with colorful koi fishes. The sound of gurgling water from an artificial waterfall in the pool made the atmosphere feel back to the countryside.

CHOOSING YOUR TRANSFORMER
when you have chosen your lights, it’s time to figure out where to put them and how to power them. That’s where a transformer, a bit of sums and a touch of creativity come into
Step 1: Add the total wattage of all fixtures
The transformer must be equal to or higher than the total watts. If you think you may add fixtures to your system in the future, a higher wattage transformer is recommended. Transformers come in a wide variety of wattages from 60-1200 watts.
Step 2: Decide where you want to install the transformer
Be sure to install the transformer near a power source or outlet, and as close to your lights as possible to minimize cable runs.
Step 3: The transformer itself
Transformers vary in style and quality. It’s up to you to choose which one is right for your lighting plan and yard.
An optional photocell for dusk-till-dawn operation and timer are excellent choices, both as an energy-saving measure and as a security precaution if you should leave town.
Most transformers are installed on an outside wall and can be either hardwired or plugged into an outlet.
