Built for salt air
Homes near the coast in Westlake and along Skyline get salt-laden fog. Brass, copper or well-coated fixtures hold up far better than thin painted aluminum or plastic.

Landscape Lighting in Daly City
What Daly City homeowners should know
Lighting front entries
Many Daly City homes have a short set of front steps from the sidewalk. A few step or path lights there make the entry safer after dark.
Low glare for close neighbors
Houses sit close together, so shielded, down-facing fixtures keep light in your yard and out of neighbors' windows.

Landscape Lighting in Daly City: FAQ
What landscape lights last in Daly City's fog?
Solid brass, copper or well-coated fixtures with sealed LED lamps. Salt air and constant moisture corrode cheap fixtures quickly.
Can lighting be added to an existing Daly City yard?
Yes. Low-voltage cable can be buried along beds and walkway edges, so lighting can be added without tearing up hardscape.
How is landscape lighting controlled?
By a transformer with a timer or photocell, so lights turn on at dusk and off at a set time.
