external electrical system for led lighting


In most outdoor environments nowadays the presence of electrical systems is required, both for lighting and for powering electrical appliances. In this guide, we will address those people who have not yet implemented these systems or who need to adapt old ones, showing them all the advantages of LED lighting.

How to make an electrical system in the garden

For the realization of an electrical system for outdoor environments, the first thing to do is to bury the corrugated pipes and to position the junction boxes inside which we will then pass the conductor cables and perform the various branches.
For the realization of this fundamental step, it is necessary to carry out excavations on the ground and in the pavement, in which to house the aforementioned corrugated pipes and junction boxes.
This the operation must be carried out using a mini excavator or for the bravest by using simple common tools such as a hammer, chisel and so on.
For the construction of a system with 220 V current, the excavations must have a minimum depth of 50 cm in order to adequately isolate the conductors and make your installation safer. It should not be underestimated how a simple gardening job, such as hoeing the land, could lead you to unintentionally dig up the conductors, risking to be electrocuted by the high voltage.
One of the great advantages offered by the construction of the LED lighting system is certainly the fact that we are faced with low voltage DC currents, given that we are talking about 12 V or 24 V supplies, which eliminate the risk of electrocution in the event of accidental contact with the system conductors.
It is in fact scientifically proved, that the continuous currents with reduced amperage, cannot generate deadly consequences unlike the currents alternated with high amperage.
To create a LED-type system, we will use 12 V current transformers that will be positioned upstream of the system (between the light point from which to take the power supply and our lamps). The task of these devices is precisely that of switching the original 220 V voltage to a 12 V voltage required for the use of LED lamps.
In addition to safety, a big advantage of LED lighting is, as often mentioned, in the very low consumption of electric current, which could prove decisive in the choice of the realization, given that usually, it tends to illuminate the outside all night long.

DIY electrical system: is it worth it?

Do-it-yourself manufacturing of electrical systems, in general, is strongly discouraged if you are not an expert, as you run the risk of electrocution or malfunction. Furthermore, since 2008 a law has been in force for which for each construction of an electrical system, including the garden, a certification is required that only a licensed company or electrician can issue.
