On Sun, 26 Jun 2005 15:00:59 +0000 (UTC),it is alleged that Dean
Heighington spake thusly in
uk.d-i-y:

Thanks for all the useful replies.
Before I answer each individually, I need to state
that since my first post, I have discovered that
each of these lighting kits uses a transformer which
is also the plug. Thus, it is apparent that the
manufacturers intend for this to be 'plugged in',
to a wall socket WITHIN the house. This scuppers
my original plan but I still want to avoid a mass
of transformers on the wall indoors.

I'm confident, from your posts, that there is a
solution which will enable me to 'do away' with
these ugly beasts AND allow me to control the lights
from the decking.

cheers,

deano.

Its 20 quid, but TLC's http://tinyurl.com/dvsln might be what you're
after, it (so far as I can tell) ends in a flexible cord with a plug,
but that's a normal plug and could be removed for connection via a
switch etc,and it WILL hold and hide those ugly transformer plugs and
could be wired into a switch (with the appropriate cable glands etc).
TLC's outdoor cheapo wiring section contains very cheap weatherproof
switches etc which may help.

My general idea would be to take the circuit from a fused connection
unit indoors, an RCD protected type if no other RCD is on the circuit,
thence to the switch, and from there to that box, using the correct
glands etc.
