Has anyone ever seen NICE outdoor lighting (something like fairy lights or Xmas tree lights or lanterns) that is battery powered? Maybe using a torch battery or similar??? It is about 5 metres from my house to my gazebo - extension cords are ugly and are tricky with kids around.

i found some really cute ones on this web site hope this helps

I am replacing some old 12v outdoor garden lights for a friend's walkway. They look cheap
and are falling apart after 5-years. I want to replace them with a set of durable ones that look nice. I am avoiding solar, because they are far too dim and I already have the 12v wiring in place.
I would appreciate any recommendations.
Thanks

Years ago I had Toro brand and they worked great, then I switched to solar, and I have been through sets almost once a year.

I am going back to Toro and not using solar.
Solar have some nice designs, but do not last long. It seems that the solar panel always turn cloudy and then it's trash.

Toro is my suggestion. They can be found at any local home improvement and most stores like, Target, Walmart, etc.

Price: $5.99

For casing, or for the casting of the actual product.
So far I seem to see ABS and stainless steel popping up a lot.
I'm wondering, is aluminium commonly used as well as stainless steel? and with plastics, is polycarbonate common, or is there another main thermoplastic?
thanks

The two main things that are going to deteriorate the material is water and sun light. Avoiding easily corroded materials such as steel is a good idea. Plastics can be subject to deterioration from UV.

Other than that its cost. Stainless Steel would seem an expensive material to buy and manufacture from so I wouldn't expect that to be used much. It doesn't paint too easy either. Aluminium is good as it casts fairly easy.

My low voltage garden lighting transformer is rated for 150 Watts. What will happen if I put 160 Watts on the line? Will it blow the transformer? Breaker? Lights?

it may work but will work better and longer if its not pushed to its limit lose a light or get a larger transformer woudnt you feel better a less than maxed out transformer under your porch while u sleep?
