[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 503367, member: 4678"] Consider converting the fittings to 12v and running via a transformer, this isn't always possible but is a much safer way to run garden lighting. It'd be more advisable to use armoured cable under the gravel than under the flag (although you still should under the flag). It's less likely to be damaged under a flag, far more likely to be damaged in the gravel. Unless it's steel, conduit it will do little to protect the cable in a garden. Spades/trowels are your main threat, a spade will go through plastic conduit without giving it a second thought. [/QUOTE]
