12 volt outside light recommendations.

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

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, thanks so much for your reply.

I have used 25mm corrugated plastic conduit. I think you can put glands on this? I don't really wan't to run the conduit upto the light. I have been told to use hi-tuf cable for this run as it is buried in the conduit and just a couple of inches showing in and out of the light fitting for sparky to wire up. I shall look into the conduit box now.

Thanks
