Hello,
I am having trouble with the topic of garden lighting and would appreciate your expertise and experiences.
Here are my questions:
In the garden, I will be installing a conduit for electricity (sockets, low-voltage wiring)/LAN (IP camera), and I would like to use 12V or 24V lighting.
1. Which is better to use, 12V or 24V, and why?
2. Do you have any recommendations for a manufacturer or system (expandable)?
3. To me, the cables/connections don’t look fully outdoor-rated. What are your experiences with extreme rain, snow, martens... and can everything stay outside year-round?
4. I often see cables simply laid under the lawn or above ground. How durable is that overall?
Thank you very much!

We have several 3- and 5-core cables running from the fuse box to the garden, each individually protected by a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB). This setup also allows for switching and/or installing a timer. In the garden, the cables are routed under the terrace for flexibility. The lighting in the flower beds and elsewhere will most likely be 24V (24V).
