Garden Lighting: Techmar

[rfn]

Folks of PH, currently completely renovating our garden & intending to install a new lighting system. Budget is flexible based on quality and I've seen a few mentions here and there for Techmar (https://www.gardenlightshop.com/37-garden-lighting-bundles).

Wondered if anyone can share experiences / pitfalls and any suggestions for the best way to get set up. As well as the best lights from their selection!

Our garden is approx. 15 long & 10m wide but that includes a single garage and shed...

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much everone. I really appreciat the replies.

I have listed/worked out the sort of stuff I want from my garden lighting and it comes to about £400... there are probably too many lights in there so I will now mull it over for a few weeks before I do anything!

Interestingly I thought I'd need the 150w transformer - turns out nowhere near that!

Bought from the place the OP linked to, they were really helpful in sense checking my plans for the right cabling etc.

We went with the Alder spotlights and Remiz wall lights on the fencing. The cabling is small enough to hide between the featherboard and posts, and overall it was really easy to install. The remote control unit works well from inside the house. Basically.... we love them!

Wow thanks MrChips - really great to see. Much appreciated.

Was about to start ordering some of this this week, thanks to the OP!

One thing I wondered was the lumens output of the lights-they all seem a bit weedy? Can anyone who's fitted tell me if the lights genuinely light up the place?

Hey!

Funnily enough, we've just finished installing our lights this week (the garden took a LOT longer than planned!).

Just the decking lights to go. All lights in these pics are 2w. Try and ignore the school.

I've got all the Techmar stuff I bought in early 2018 still. One bulb blew (and was replaced under warranty) - everything else has worked as expected!
