  Very refreshing to see a professional correctly making the splice and joint, unlike some others on YouTube

  Good job, mate. SELV is much better than 230V if it's a relatively small load and the cable is not too long. In this case, good use of SELV, especially because the lamps are next to the pond. The gardener will not be shocked dead, when he mows them over. Always think about the unthinkable.

  This is the first time I&apos;ve seen &nbsp;a UK 12 volt &nbsp;landscape lighting video. &nbsp;I&apos;d say it&apos;s much safer then mains voltage lighting. &nbsp;In the US nearly all landscape lighting is 12 volt LED. The downside to it is the landscape contractors got in on the <br> installing and not exclusively the electrical contractors.

  Great video David, I remember doing two joints &nbsp;on the top of a fuel tank. The cables were 240 mm 4 cores. We mixed the first bag and poured the joint with success. On the second joint we split the resin bag and scooped it in to the joint with bits of steel armour and all the the cable trimmings &nbsp;by hand. The site electrical engineer put our joints under a &nbsp;5kV test and it passed. I guess it&apos;s still working OK now.

  Another brilliant video. I&apos;ve recently returned to doing domestic electrical installations after an absence of some 20+ years. Although back in the day (haha) I was doing more fun, 3 phase stuff with horticultural, agricultural, industrial and commercial installations. I did C&amp;G 236* (something or other number) back in the late 80&apos;s and learned most of the practical stuff long before leaving school, from my now late dad, an electrical engineer from 1950 onwards so sometimes a bit emotional. Anyway, I completed BS7671 18th edition, domestic installer and competent persons scheme &apos;refresher&apos; courses earlier this year. So your videos are a real &apos;godsend&apos; as theoretical and abstract explanations are no substitute for practical demonstration. So helpful that you flag the relevant Regs too, really helps to reinforce my ailing memory. ;) Thanks again so much

  The idea of using selv in garden lighting is great. Definately much safer and more practical.

  Excellent video really enjoy them when you show what you have to do would love to see how you do a conversion from 230v to 12v garden lights it also helps to see the products that you use all brilliant thanks
