LED Drivers & Transformers FAQs
The main difference you need to worry about is their output current. Each brand of lighting has their own specified power compatibility, typically our transformers are 12v or 24v AC & our drivers are 12v DC. So if you’ve got existing lights or globes or are researching, it’s very important to check what power supply they are compatible with before you buy a power supply.
The size of your transformer/driver depends on the total load (wattage) of the lights on your circuit. Eg: If you are using 8 x Spotlights with 5W LED Globes, you’re using 40W. You need a driver that is rated to handle the total of 40W. However, keep in mind that it’s important not to cut it too fine with matching the wattage to the capacity of the driver, if you undersize you will find the farthest lights will flicker. For this reason we recommend you allow for at least an extra 30%.
An LED driver is a device that regulates the power supply to LED lights, converting high-voltage AC power to low-voltage DC power suitable for LEDs. It ensures a stable current, preventing flickering or damage to the lights. LED drivers are essential for efficient performance, extending the lifespan of LED lighting and providing consistent, safe illumination.
An LED driver regulates current to LED lights, converting AC to DC power and ensuring consistent, stable performance. A transformer, on the other hand, reduces voltage from mains power (240V) to a lower voltage, like 12V or 24V, without regulating current. LED drivers are specific to LEDs, while transformers support various low-voltage devices, including LEDs with compatible drivers.
To choose the right LED driver, consider the following:
- Voltage — Match the driver’s output voltage (e.g., 12V or 24V) to your LED lights (specified by the manufacturer).
- Current — Ensure the driver supports the required current (constant current or constant voltage).
- Wattage — Choose a driver with a capacity 20-30% higher than your LEDs’ total wattage.
- Environment — Select weatherproof options for outdoor use.
Our range of LED drivers includes:
- 12V indoor LED strip drivers — Perfect for powering indoor LED strip lighting with stable voltage for smooth performance.
- 12V DC weatherproof LED drivers — Designed for outdoor use, these drivers are durable and resistant to harsh weather conditions, ensuring reliable power for garden and landscape lighting.
Both provide efficient and safe operations tailored to specific environments.
Yes, most are compatible with garden lighting smart controllers and timers for automated schedules and remote control.

Installing garden lights can be a rewarding DIY project! Low-voltage systems (12v or 24v) typically involve planning your layout, running cables from your transformer to the desired locations, connecting the light fittings, and finally, connecting the transformer to your main power supply. Always ensure you use outdoor-rated cables and connectors.
If you’re unsure about any part of the process, consult with a qualified electrician. SunshowerOnline offers a range of DIY garden lighting kits, including everything you need to get started. You can always reach out to our experts for helpful resources and advice.
Choosing the proper garden lighting depends on your desired effect and the features you want to highlight. Consider the style of your garden, the areas you want to illuminate and the mood you want to create.
For example, path lights are ideal for walkways, while spotlights can accentuate trees or sculptures. As for garden light types, remember that LEDs are favoured for their energy efficiency and longevity, while halogen bulbs provide a warmer glow. Explore our diverse range and request a quote to get personalised recommendations.
While it might be tempting to leave your garden lights on all night, it’s generally not recommended, as it can contribute to light pollution, disrupt wildlife and potentially annoy your neighbours. Additionally, it can shorten the lifespan of your bulbs and increase energy consumption. Consider using timers, wifi connected control or motion sensors to activate your lights only when needed, or opt for solar-powered lights for a more eco-friendly approach.
Some maintenance is required to ensure your garden lights continue to shine brightly. Regularly clean the light fixtures to remove dirt and debris that can obstruct the light output. Check for any signs of damage to cables or connections and replace them promptly if needed. For optimal performance, consider replacing your bulbs before they burn out completely.
We offer a wide selection of 12v LED Garden Light fittings & accessories. Including path lights, spotlights, deck lights, bollards, wall lights, and feature lighting to suit every garden style and purpose. As well as that, we offer LED Drivers, a Low Voltage Lighting Cable
Yes, given that our lighting range runs of 12v (or sometimes 24v), there’s no requirement to engage an electrician. Our products are designed for simple DIY installation, using common tools you likely already have and clear instructions provided for safe, straightforward setup.
Lights can fail for a number of reasons, but most commonly it’s from cable breaks, water ingress in either cable joins or light fittings themselves, overloaded power supply or undersized cabling. Ensure the transformer/driver is working, check cable joins & light fittings for water damage and check cable runs for breakages. If issues persist, you may need to book a professional to come and take a look
Yes, all our garden lighting products are rated for outdoor use and built to withstand Australian weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance. But always check the IP rating for each fitting to ensure it’s suited to your application.
Yes! We offer app-based control to automate your garden lights for convenience, energy savings, and security.
Our garden lights come with manufacturer warranties and expert support from our team, including help with design, installation, and troubleshooting.
Lighting cable needs to be sized appropriately to avoid excess voltage drop, ensuring reliable & safe operation. Manual calculation is complicated, factoring in resistance, cable distance & power load along the circuit. Thankfully, we have an incredible lighting cable calculator you can use to figure it out!
