Finish the System With the Right Supporting Parts
Landscape-lighting accessories handle the details that make a low-voltage system easier to install, automate, adjust, and maintain. The collection includes controls, mounting components, risers, stakes, remotes, and other supporting parts used alongside Total Light fixtures and power equipment.
For a new installation, think through how the system will turn on and off, how fixtures will be mounted, and whether any fixture needs additional height or a replacement mounting component. For an existing system, match replacement accessories to the exact fixture or transformer wherever compatibility is product-specific.
Choose Controls by How You Want the System to Operate
A photocell can automate operation based on ambient light, while timer options provide schedule-based control. The best approach depends on the desired routine and the compatible transformer setup. Always review the individual control product instructions before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What accessories are commonly needed for a landscape-lighting system?
Common needs include timers or photocells, ground stakes and mounts, risers, waterproof connections, and product-specific replacement or control components.
What is the difference between a photocell and a timer?
A photocell responds to ambient light, while a timer turns the system on or off according to a programmed or mechanical schedule. Some systems use controls together depending on the equipment and desired operation.
What are fixture risers used for?
Risers add height to compatible fixtures, which can help position a light above planting, adjust the visual scale, or change where the light source sits in the landscape.
Are Total Light accessories universal?
Not necessarily. Some accessories work broadly within low-voltage systems, while others are designed for specific fixtures, transformers, or mounting arrangements. Check the individual product page for compatibility.
