Tortech's garden transformers are light weight, highly energy efficient water-safe making them ideal for outdoor lighting & Christmas lights

tick.gif Splash Proof protection from water in all direction 

tick.gifApproved safe with IP64 Rating for outdoor use

tick.gif Fully water proof Fuse  Designed to eliminate the possibility of an electrics shock (as defined in IEC standards 65 and 257)

The practical and safe design of our transformers make them 100% ideal for use outdoors and for an amazing Christmas lights display. All transformers come with approved outdoor IP64 safety ratings

Why use ? Although Christmas lights and garden lights look nice, the need for electrical safety is often not considered. As well as being not nice to look at, extension cords and power boards strung along the yard can be a potential hazard and possibly fatal.

Garden Lighting Technical Information
 
Transformer Transformer – Devise for changing voltage, usually from 240v to low voltage commonly 12v. The reason for this is that when garden lighting it is much safer and easier to run cables across beds and lawns than to run mains voltage. 
   
Luminaire Current term for garden lighting fitting
   
Lamp Industry name for a light bulb
   
Wattage

Load required to power one or a number of garden lighting fittings.

   
Voltage Drop

 

 

When running distances in 12 volts the cable needs to be matched to the load and distance. Otherwise you may end up with less than 12 volts at the end of the cable run. This will not cause damage to the luminaire but if the voltage drop is large then the light produced will have a slightly yellow effect and may also seem slightly dim

IP Ratings

 

 

The rating the garden lighting product (luminaire) is given to show its resistance to particles in the atmosphere and its resistance to water. The first number is resistance to particles and the second number shows the resistance to water. IE IP 67 OR IP 68 for pond or pool lighting.

Low Voltage

Cabling

 

This is the cable used to run out from the transformer to the garden lighting product (luminaire). The size of cable depends on the total wattage of garden lights and length of cable run.

Waterproof Connections

 

There are many different ways of making all joints fully waterproof, this is very important when outdoor garden lighting as without correct joints when the lamp cools it will pull in moisture from the ground and also the atmosphere. This will rapidly deteriorate the lamp and lamp holder and will eventually cause failure.

   
IP Enclosure

 

These are waterproof boxes that must be fitted with the correct glands to ensure watertight seal where the cables exit the box.  Very useful to run a number of cables out to each garden lighting product (luminaire).
