I'm looking to run some outdoor lighting in my front yard including some LED decking lights and low voltage uplights in the garden.
HPM make all the DIY lights but they all terminate to a plug with a trasformer on it. It's easy enough for me to plug a power board in with a timer on it and plug the transformers into the power board but my question is will I be able to get an electrician to terminate these to a normal light switch. The transformers for the LED lights are like a nokia mobile phone recharger, it's a one piece unit transformer and plug in one. I dont see how an electrician can put this to a wall switch hidden in a wall cavity.
The 12v transformers you can run twin and earth right up to them so the transformer doesnt have to be near the switch.
Anyway, If these lights are unable to be connected to a wall switch at my front door then I'll look at something else.
Cheers
