I needto run power about 100m into my back yard.
I'd like to run one line. and plan to have a dozen lights placed along it.

My issue being, I want to be able to switch each light on or off independently.

I've looked at maybe an X10 setup but I feel overly complicated and pricey, inline unit's are $30, and need 40W, I will only be running 5-15W lights.

Any idea's on this? a system or relay option? wireless or maybe using the power line?


Any help/advice would be great. I wish to avoid running 12 wires Smiley

Thank You

Shawn

What kind of lights are you using and how much extra space will be in the juction box behind each one? Maybe a few more details would help.

5-15W LED lights.
Standard box size unless I need a bigger option.

Sorry I did some looking and this is what I found.  They are about 25 bucks for each light.  If you put all the switches in the same area you could use 1 dc adapter to run all of the switches.
