Just having the wire, transformer, and fixtures isn't quite all you need. Making sure it's the correct kind and gauge of wire is important. Making sure the transformer is sufficient to handle all the light fixtures you plan on installing now, and in the future, is important. It's wise to use a hub - so that would be something else you'd want to buy. Also, an amp/volt meter is important because if the fixtures have too little voltage they will not illuminate properly and will burn out quickly with too much voltage. There is actually a whole toolbox full of tools that I carry just for working on outdoor lighting, along with a box full of different kinds of lamps for replacement and for tweaking installations.
