E.L.V. Garden Bollards.

Zoomup
A customer has some underground S.W.A. cable supplying three low level garden lights. The installation is amateurish and now keeps tripping off an R.C.D. He does not want the garden dug up to replace the cable with bad underground joints at the lights. I was wondering if E.L.V. lights could be used at say 12 or 24 Volts via an isolating transformer. Does anyone know of a suitable type of light please? That way the S.W.A could be reused.

    Might the underground joints be dodgy in terms of conductor resistance as well as insulation? Switching from 240V to 12V for the same power will mean a 20x increase in current - so much more likely to push any dodgy connections over the edge.
