Decking light kits

[deanomatthews]

Hi,

I would like to put approx 10 lights on the floor of my decking. Diameter I am looking for for each light is minimum of 70mm. Probelm I get is the deck light kits from the likes of Wicks and B&Q have a plug/transformer that is not designed for outdoors. I have a waterproof double socket mounted outside that I simply wanted to use to plug in my deck lights. Any ideas please??

Simple way is to put the socket and transformer into a lockable waterproof enclosure.

Fit suitable feed cable and plug to socket strip, plug into your outdoor socket and plug in your transformers etc inside the box. Simple.

looks good thanks, however the transformer for the lights is built into the plug and therefore will be too big to go inside this box I think. Where can I get a stand alone transformer from?

They are designed to take wall-warts, as the photo shows.

If yours is too big, get a larger enclosure. Companies such as Sarel, Gewiss, Fibox, Himel, ABB, Schneider make mild steel, stainless steel, GRP and polycarbonate enclosures with doors in all sorts of sizes.
