Driveway Entrance Lighting

Mitch Buchannon

Hi, We have a wealth of electrical and building experience on here so I’m looking for some advice/direction.

I am after getting new driveway entrance walls and pillars built. Wall and pillar caps are in place but nothing has been rendered yet.

I’m looking to add some lighting to the entrance. Instead of going the usual route of putting lights on top of the pillars, I was thinking of adding some led’s / led strips under the wall caps and or pillar caps to illuminate the area and new gate. Something kind of like the pictures below but maybe not as bright.




All of the specific “hard scape” lights I see are in the US. I’d prefer not to order from there due possible voltage issues (if there are any) and of course the pain of getting them shipped. Examples of what I am looking to get are linked below.

There are some for sale in a similar style on alibaba but i don't want to buy any rubbish or dodgy electrical stuff from China.


Does anyone know if there lights like this in Ireland or the UK ?

Any further ideas are very welcome.
Thanks a mill.. Mitch.

Try futureled or possibly fantasy lighting
Wholesalers like a kellihers or edmundsons might have a Robus product that will do the job too.

The location of the driver and it's IP rating are a standard challenge here, the strip might have the correct ip rating but the driver might not.
