Our Retaining Wall Lighting Fixtures
If you want to enhance the retaining walls around your garden or shed foundation, low-voltage retaining wall lights are a more budget-friendly and sustainable option.

Benefits of Retaining Wall Lighting
Increased Safety
Nobody likes stubbing their toe on a retaining wall while walking around their property at night. By installing low-voltage retaining wall lighting, you can avoid that painful experience by drawing attention to the structure. In addition, the reduced voltage of these lights reduces the potential for electrical shock when installing or maintaining your lights.
Energy Efficient
Thanks to their reduced voltage, low-voltage retaining wall lights are not just a power-saving solution but also a step towards reducing your carbon footprint. By choosing these lights, you’re making an eco-conscious decision that benefits both the environment and your pockets.
Enhanced Aesthetics
Properly positioning your retaining wall lighting can highlight key landscape features and create a stunning nighttime effect. Whether you’re accentuating a garden or showcasing a new shed, strategic lighting will enhance the visual appeal of your outdoor space, drawing attention to your property’s best features.
Longevity
Lower voltage for the win again! Since they use less energy, they’re less likely to burn out, reducing the frequency and cost of replacements.
Ease of Installation
Low voltage is the way to go if you’re looking to DIY your retaining wall lighting installation. Not only do they lower the risk of electric shock, but they also don’t require deep trenching like their high-voltage counterparts.
FAQs About Retaining Wall Lighting
How Far Apart Should Retaining Wall Lights Be?
For accent lighting, place the bulbs 4 to 6 feet apart. If you want to cover the entire length of your wall, you can install them continuously across it. The exact distance they should be placed will depend on the desired effect you’re hoping to create and your personal preferences.
What Types of Lights Are Best For Retaining Walls?
Typically, LED low-voltage paver lights are best as they can be easily embedded in the wall and are an energy-efficient and cost-effective way to achieve your desired effect. However, you can choose whichever lights you like best.
Can Retaining Wall Lights Be Controlled Remotely?
Yes, there are several ways to control your retaining wall lights remotely. These include remote controls, timers, motion sensors, photocells, and more. Our 60-watt LED Electronic Transformer has an interval timer and photocell built in for automated control.
Are Retaining Wall Lights Weather-Resistent?
Yes, most retaining wall lights are designed to withstand weather conditions such as snow, rain, and heat. The best way to ensure weather protection is to check the lighting’s Ingress Protection (IP) rating. A good IP rating is usually IP65 or higher, with IP67 and IP68 rated lights being best for withstanding even the harshest weather conditions. Our IL600.xxx. xxx LED fixture for step and wall lights are rated IP68 offer full protection against dust and can withstand temporary or continuous submersion in water.
Are there Energy-Efficient Options Available?
Yes, many retaining wall lights use LED technology, which is energy-efficient and has a long lifespan. Solar-powered options are also available, reducing electricity costs. We offer a range of retaining wall and other lighting fixtures that utilize LED bulbs if you’re interested in cutting back on your energy usage.
