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.

    Do you have a style of light fitting in mind yet - a picture being 1K words and all that -  not all are suitable for the BESA box and other box designs often have a large stand-off distance.

    Or can put the wiring and the lights on opposite sides - unless the opposite side is next door I suppose.. - a lot of wall light designs have knock out holes to allow the cable to come in from the side or bottom of the fitting anyway, no back box needed then.


    Not sure the mental picture of what you want to do is really quite understood.
