Lighting Technology
Introduction Light and water are a sparkling combination. Including lights in your pond or water fea-ture creates a new and exciting after dark appearance. Here you can create the most interesting effects, reflections, glowing areas or put special features in the spotlight. With our range of underwater lights you can do all this and more!! Remember we do have professional commercial lights if this range isn t suitable for you. Submersible Lights are usually a later or subsequent addition to a pond. They will be either a compli-ment to an existing garden light system or intended to highlight the pond or a feature of it, such as a statue or a waterfall. All submersible lights generally available are low voltage and thus need a trans-former. Sizing Of Lighting The wattage of a light is an indication of its brightness. Quartz halogen lamps as used in most sub-mersible lights, are much brighter than comparable incandescent (normal light bulbs) lights of the same wattage. The effectiveness of a light in a pond at night depends on the surrounding ambient light. The more lighting in the vicinity of the pond, the less effective a pond light will be. Ponds under 50 litres and pond highlights only Small statues and ponds under 200 litres Medium statues and ponds under 400 litres Large ponds and statues under 2000 litres Larger statues and 2000 litres+ ponds with high ambient light levels 5 Watt/10 Watt 20 Watt 35 Watt 50 Watt 50+ Watt
NOTE THAT LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS LOW VOLTAGE AND NEED TRANSFORMERS (Not supplied unless ordered as a kit.) Transformer Size Calculation: For example, 6 x 10 watt spotlights = 60 watts = Transformer of 60VA or greater is required. If long runs of low voltage cable are used, the transformer should have more capacity again (usually go to the next size up or enquire for advice). The benefits of LED lighting Typical lifespan up to 100000 hours = nearly 20 times longer than halogen globes. Produce no heat No bulbs to replace Low power consumption Safe and reliable May be used submerged or dry Achieve full Brightness Quickly
