Description
This is a round outdoor connector, a compact junction box in black plastic that brings the cable runs of a garden lighting scheme together in one sealed housing. It stands 5cm tall and measures 15.5cm across, so it sits low and unobtrusive at the foot of a wall, behind a planter or along a border. It carries an IP68 rating, which means it is dust-tight and sealed against water well beyond rain and splashing, so it lives outdoors all year.
We suggest it to anyone running lights across a garden, a patio or a driveway, where a join left open to the weather would be the weak point. The black finish blends into soil, shadow and dark paving, so the box draws little attention once the plants grow round it. Plastic does not rust, so there are no orange stains on the paving around it, and at a packed weight of 0.226KG it is light and easy to handle.
The lid sits on a raised rim and is held down by a ring of silver-coloured screws, which press it evenly against the body around its whole edge. Cable glands on the sides close tightly around each lead where it enters. As with any wired-in outdoor lighting, a qualified electrician fits it, and the installation instructions come as a PDF download. Choose a spot where the lid stays easy to reach, so the connection is simple to check whenever it needs attention.
