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.

Thanks broadgage,

after having slept on this matter, I have decided not to proceed with any kind of repair work. The installation was never correct and was not reliable and never will be. I am not going to dig down to find taped chock block connectors buried in soil, rusty and rotted. The cables can not be reliably and correctly repaired. This is the result of a cheap poor installation. The customer must learn by his stupidity and meanness. You can't build a solid house on poor foundations.
