Yes, all 12v Garden lighting cable is safe to run in the garden bed, it doesn’t need to buried for any regulations’ sake. If you’re concerned the cable might incidentally get damaged, we then recommend you run it in some conduit or PVC pipe.

Low-voltage, UV-resistant garden lighting cable is best. It’s durable, safe for outdoor use, and designed to handle moisture, sunlight, and garden conditions.

Use weatherproof connectors or heat shrink to safely split or join cables. 12v & 24v LED lighting cable is connected in parallel. Always follow manufacturer instructions for secure, reliable connections.

Use the correct cable size, keep cable runs as short as possible, and distribute the load evenly. For long runs, use a thicker cable to ensure all lights receive proper voltage. Use our Lighting Cable Calculator to ensure you are right-sizing your cable

Yes, but it depends.. as long as the transformer can handle the extra load and the existing cable gauge is sufficient. Use proper connectors to join new sections.

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.

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.
