Apologies if this has been covered a number of times, but I had difficulty trying to find an existing post that covered my situation exactly.
I want to install 3 LV garden lights, I was planning on using 3x 20w LV lights (with stakes in the ground).
I was planning on running 1.5mm cable at 240v from the house (separate circuit) and under some decking (total distance 10m) Then have an external transformer mounted under the decking followed by 3 lamps (evenly spaced over 10m)
My question is:
- What should I run the external 240v 1.5mm cable in (can I just put it conduit or does it need to be SWA)?
- What type of cable/conduit should I use on the the LV side of the transformer?
- How should I join the lamps to this cable? Will it be possible to join inside the fitting or should I T-Off using an external JB or split the cable and crimp it.
Ady advice would be greatly appreciated.
