Have to put right a badly installed swimming pool light installation.
The outdoor swimming pool has mains voltage ground lights surrounding it, about 40 cm from the pool edge.
I want to replace these fittings with ELV ground lights. Replacing the cable will mean a lot of disruption, so I was hoping to keep the cable in situ and replace the fittings. 2.5mm rubber cable
Power to transformers will be outside zones, but....
Are metallic ground lights OK around a pool if ELV
Volt drop is the big concern, but I was planning to use MR16 LED lamps which have a low wattage 2-3 watts , which also won't get to hot.
Transformer minimum ratings could mean I need to run a few lamps off the same transformer , any advice on how long a run is viable, and how many lights off each transformer.
Any advice an pool electrics most welcome
Thanks
