    I have for a customer already installed a garden socket with a fixed fuse outlet next to it.The lights they provided are no good,the transformer must be indoors and it would not fit and be waterproof in socket anyhow..

    So wat i need is some pointers of some 240 lights(its to go up and around a tree)I want to wire it direct to fused spur,circuit is rcd protected.
    Cheers

    Then supply and fit a suitable box to fit a socket in.. which will allow the transformer to plug in.

    I have thought of that,but would it not be a pain to open and close an enclosure to switch on and off?..Or can you get a box with a easy opening door?...:)

    The smarter cheaper method however....

    Would be to mount a socket and transformer in an ip rated box with screwed down lid.. a short lead with a plug on the end, which would plug in to the existing ip rated socket.

    Easier access to the transformer it self is unneeded and raises the cost.

    Good idea X but the festoon lights off the above link are 240,so all i need to do is cut off plug and connect to me ip rated fixed fuse outlet already in place,so this has got to be the best way....:)

    Far be for me to point out what cutting off of the plug means... (and I'm not referring to the guarantee)

    I'm sure you can look it up / work it out
