illuminating garden beds

I am interested in finding out what products I can use to illuminate garden beds.  I would like a proper electric operated plus and play option and products to use to lay lines around beds.

Hi @khwajas 

 

 

Well  there are many different garden lights out there that are  plug and play.

 

So first you will need to run power from the  house via an extention lead or into an outdoor power point.

 

This  system below is as easy as they come

 

It is wifi (your phone  can control  the lights and you can   program them and link it with google alexa  and IFTTT systems.)

 

This  system  allows to white  lights or multi colour  lights to be remote operated.

 

As  mentioned this may not suit you  just look around at whats possible.

 

String lights and rope lights are also pretty at night.

Re: illuminating garden beds

Very kind of you.  I was more interested in installing spot lights underneath shrubs. Are there any relevant products.  Yes I have the facility to run the extension cord from an outdoor power outlet Do I need to conduit these connections?

Hi @khwajas 

 

there are white only version s of the same lights as  spot lights for shrubs etc .  click on the lights  link and underneath will have close matching  search item for the whites version,

 

These lights are low  power so no conduit  needed. to the actual lights.

 

Extention leads needa  50mm  pipe size or bigger to be  protected. or  get the plug  thorugh so isnot really feasable.

 

If you keep the extention cords up out of the  rain water and cover the plugs and  do other sensible things they will be fine in 10 tears replace them as the plastic starts getting brittle. Dont put them were you dig the garden
