The most basic way to operate your garden lighting and perfect if you don’t have great wifi connectivity in the garden or you’re just not that into tech.
Pro’s:
- Very easy to use. Simple on and off via a switch in your house or directly on the outdoor socket
- Very easy to set up
- No wifi connectivity required
- Minimal maintenance
- Energy efficient – only have them on when you’re around
- Suggested only for rear gardens
Cons:
- Restricted to use when at home
- No automation possibilities
- Potentially you will not use the gardens lights as much as you should due to forgetting to turn them on or having to go outside
- Maximum two zones per socket (this should be enough for most small to medium sized gardens)
- No ‘welcome home’ ability – you’ll have to turn them on when you arrive home
- Not great for front gardens and driveways when some daylight automation would be useful
Sounding good? Then we’d recommend our LED Driver. Requires one driver per zone/circuit/ring.
- 1 ring x 52W
What you’ll require:
A double 240v outdoor weatherproof socket (installed by a Part P qualified electrician).
This solution is also ideal if you have an existing weatherproof outdoor socket that you currently operate from a switch indoors.
