Hi, I need to replace my frost damaged 240v garden lights with a transformer and 12 volt ones, can I use the existing lighting cable or do I have to replace it thanks Andy
In part it will depend on what size and type of cable you already have installed, its condition and what the manufacturers instructions state on the new lights.
Is there a specific reason for you moving to a 12 volt system?
And is it rated for outdoor use?
