12v garden light set
Another holiday purchase, and one that is now installed on our patio. For years I was after a set of these lights, but the only ones I saw for sale were usually stupid prices. At a car boot the day before we came home, I stumbled across them and had to ask. He was selling them cheap as there was a part missing, that being the stake. I made a new one out of a solar light stake, cut to length, and then made a cable clamp which wedged down inside. The transformer has a photocell on it, so I mounted this inside an exterior sealed box. They're surprisingly very bright, and light the patio really well.

I have some of the old 12v garden lights...I unplugged them sometime last year because the timer no longer keeps time right (had planned to look at & fix, but never did so its still just sitting there)...and ofcourse since they're off anyway, I never bothered to fix one of the lights in the front yard that got ran over this spring...(its parts might still be laying there, that or I dumped them in the backyard along with the remains of the fence LOL)

Could you not just bypass the timer and mount a photocell in place instead?

The timer is located inside the garage...but I could easily just remove the on/off pins from their timer/transformer box & plug it into a separate timer. I had planned on taking it apart & having a look inside to see if I saw anything obviously wrong.
