Hi,

I'm looking for some garden lighting, I like the look of those small rock
lights, as they can be hidden amongst the flowers, however they are only
12v, and can only be placed 3-4m from the transformer, and you can't daisy
chain them together.

I think I need something higher voltage, maybe just standard 240v with no
transformer. A set of 5 or 6 smallish ground lights, that can be daisy
chained around the garden (20m). It would also be good if it was possible
to
install multi coloured bulbs as well, (as the rock lights only support 10w
halogen, and coloured halogen are 30w).

Anyone know of anything simular to this?

Ben,

Low voltage lighting can certainly be strung out further than that. At our
previous home I had 8 lights (2 strings) daisy chained and extending at
least 20 meters. A standard (at least here in Toronto) Noma product. No
problem. The transformer was stock too -- straight out of the box.

If the look of the lighter-weight low voltage stuff suits you, it is
certainly the way to go. Completely DYI and very little hassle. Its
sometimes a little fiddley to ensure good contact at the lights and
connections but aside from that it's dead easy. Relatively inexpensive too.
