12 volt outside light recommendations.

Former Community Member

Hi all. I am in the process of turning my front garden into a driveway. Now on the side of this drive way is a brick wall where I want to put 3 x 12 volt wall lights. I have excavated the ground and dug a trench and put some 20mm conduit for now. What I want to know is are there outside lights that don't come pre wired? I don't want to have any junction boxes on the wall or buried in the ground. Can the electrician wire it with loop in loop out so the only connections are at the light fitting itself so no connections underground etc.


I hope that makes sense.

    How do you propose to terminate the conduit underground without connecting into a junction box?

    Personally I would use 1.5mm2 SWA and loop into conduit 'U' through boxes, then mount the lamps on them.

    Or as a quick fix you could clip the cable to the wall and loop in at the lights

    However, I did use some rather expensive CW ELV LED lamps buried in 1.1/4" (32mm) plastic drainage pipe buried through a stone garden wall and wired at the back in 2-core rubber cable.
