Most good garden lighting works at 12 volts, so you need to locate
transformers in the garden or nearest building and use flexible low
voltage cable from the transformer to the lights themselves. A
transformer is an electrical or electronic device which changes voltage
from one level to another; in lighting this is usually from 240 volts
to 12 volts, which is the voltage at which many garden lighting
products work.
