Garden Lighting
"Ben Blackmore" wrote in message .. . 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. Jim |
