Install garden lighting
Anyone can install our garden lighting quickly and without needing an installer. View the steps below for the explanation or watch one of our installation videos here.
Choose your lighting
Step 1
Within our wide range, you can choose the fixtures with which you want to attractively illuminate your garden, driveway, fence, pond or roof.

Choose a transformer
Step 2
Because our system works on 12 volts, a transformer is needed to convert high voltage to low voltage. The total wattage of the lighting selected by you determines the wattage of the required transformer. To calculate this, add up the number of Watts of the lamps + accessories. Then you can choose a 24, 60 or 150-Watt transformer. Tip: always make sure you have some leeway in terms of wattage in case you want to add a lamp and/or accessory later.

Choose the cables
Step 3
With the Flex main cables, you yourself can determine where you want to connect the lamps to the cable. You simply place the Flex connector female on the cable, wherever you want. Open the connector, insert the cable and close the cover. Then connect the cable of the lamp to the Flex connector female. The Flex main cable is available in 10, 25 and 50 metres.
This main cable has fixed connectors on the cable. You can opt for the main cable of 10 metres with 4 connection points or for the main cable of 15 metres with 6 connection points. The cable of the lamp has a male plug that you simply connect to the fixed connector on the main cable.
Do you have any questions?
When should I opt for the Flex cable system?
You opt for the Flex cable system if you do not want to be limited to fixed connection points but want the possibility to connect the lights anywhere on the cable.
What is the advantage of Flex cables?
The Flex main cables have no fixed connection points; this means that you can connect the lights anywhere on the cable using the Flex connector. Additionally, you can easily cut the Flex cables to size.
What is the difference between the Flex system and the fixed system?
The fixed cable system already has fixed connection points, and the Flex cable system does not. With the Flex system, you connect lights and accessories by using Flex connectors.
What is the difference between the screw connector and the flex connector?
You can use screw connectors with either SPT-1 or SPT-3 cables, depending on which screw connector you use. The Flex connector can only be used with the Flex main cables (SPT-2).
What is the difference between the female and male flex connectors?
You can use a female connector to connect a light to the main cable and a male connector to connect the cable to the transformer or create an extension.
Does the cable have to be buried?
The Garden Lights system operates on 12 volts, which is low voltage. Low-voltage cables do not need to be buried.
I have cut my Flex cable to size; what must I do with the open end?
You do not have to do anything with the open end. This is harmless. If you want to seal it neatly, you can use the caps provided or some tape.
When do I opt for the fixed cable system?
You opt for the fixed cable system if you want to do the job without having to buy separate connectors.
What is the advantage of a fixed cable system?
You have 4 or 6 standard connection points on the cable and therefore do not need separate connectors for connecting lights and accessories.
What is the difference between the Flex system and the fixed system?
The fixed cable system already has fixed connection points, and the Flex cable system does not. With the Flex system, you connect lights and accessories by using Flex connectors.
What is the difference between the screw connector and the flex connector?
You can use screw connectors with either SPT-1 or SPT-3 cables, depending on which screw connector you use. The Flex connector can only be used with the Flex main cables (SPT-2).
Does the cable have to be buried?
The Garden Lights system operates on 12 volts, which is low voltage. Low-voltage cables do not need to be buried.
When do I use the cable divider?
You can use the cable divider if you are short a connection point on the fixed connection system; you can then connect three extra lights to a connection point. A cable divider can also be placed directly on the transformer, allowing three (or two) main cables to run directly from the transformer. You can also use the cable divider to create an extension to a fixed connection point where a light is already connected. By placing the cable divider in between, you can connect the light and the extension cable to a single point.
