Yep exactly that
not much point really they generaly have black rubber flex on them going in to a conduit box run with armoured cable outside they should be fed using an rcdthey are all leds but must be the 240V jobbies, the cable looks like armoured cable to be fair. so would you drop the juice inside and fit 12V led lamps instead.
that would be ok still wont stop the water ingress problem thoughBy dropping the juice “inside” i was thinking inside as inside the house and feed 12v down the armour camel , not inside the light houseing
I refer to post #2. Cut the feed and stick new granite sets in and buy him a torch. Problem solved.
Did he not approach the original installer to put right.
that would be ok still wont stop the water ingress problem though
yes but the installer didnt want to know!
That’s correct. But I’ve come to the conclusion that some problems can’t be fixed without the use of magic. Water ingress into driveway lights is one of them. It’d probably be easyer to stop water ingress into the titanic.
As the magic option is currently unavailable all that’s left is makeing the problem not matter so much
thats a dam good idea but u know what folk are like they want bling!Cats eyes might be a good solution, have a fixed light on the house shining on them and they’ll light up
i bet they still let water in an trip after 6 monthsgraft some of these in. it don't matter if they do get water in them https://www.primrose.co.uk/-p-11001...MI9-mO1f-a3wIVzLftCh3hoAD7EAQYAyABEgKkOvD_BwE

nahh ive worked on underwater pond lights and they are well sealed will they fit in existing fittings ??i bet they still let water in an trip after 6 months
it is very possible i would have to measure themnahh ive worked on underwater pond lights and they are well sealed will they fit in existing fittings ??
The length of cable run, the load and how the cable is installed all need to be considered before a size of cable can be spec'ed. It's not just as simple as saying 1mm is okay with 6amp, you also need to consider how much voltage drop you're prepared to put up with.I’ve never managed to get manis lights to work outside in a floor or wall forbany length of time.
1mm cable will happily take 6 amps and a bit more that’s still 70w at 12v. Push it to 10 amps ( think you’d still be in spec at that someone will confirm one way or another ). And that’s 120w. I’d think that would be plenty with leds
