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.

    Hi, back again. So it looks like you were all correct and that 240 volt lights are needed. As the lights are going to be mounted on the wall, is there a box (stand off bracket) I can mount on the wall which has a bottom access recess for the cable and then go into the back of the light rather than chasing into wall etc. All I can find are corner mounting brackets but none for flat walls. Heard of besa boxes but I have looked into them and they seem to be for trunking and the fixing holes on the front seem to be offset.


    Thank you all
