Why is outdoor lighting different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal landscape lighting requires salt-rated fixtures and stainless hardware throughout. Brass and copper fixtures (FX Luminaire, Vista) hold up best for outdoor LED lighting near the ocean; cheap aluminum fixtures pit and fail within a few seasons. We spec low-voltage LED landscape lighting with marine-rated wire connectors and corrosion-resistant transformer enclosures as standard practice on every coastal job.

Should I do line-voltage or low-voltage outdoor lighting?
