[QUOTE="TerryK, post: 130033, member: 32169"] First, let me mention that I'm not familiar with the electrical code(s) in Australia even though I suspect there are various similarities with the US NEC. With that in mind, I'm fairly certain you'll need to work with a certified/bonded Australian electrician and perhaps electrical engineer. Depends probably just how much of and exactly what you mentioned you have implemented. I do not think batteries are practical. Amperage load and maintaining a charge are the 2 largest obstacles I think. And batteries aren't necessarily any safer. I know an individual that can be shocked from a 12 Volt car battery. Generators aren't practical either I think; noise, exhaust, maintenance, etc. So with the exception of anything floating around out on the water you will likely need to implement AC GFCI power sources. Keeping everything sealed from moisture will be a significant challenge. Depending upon changing water levels, I'd suggest keeping the AC as far away from the lake as possible and probably elevated a bit for water run-off. Bury the power and data to the lights and since it will probably be a bit long, separate the power runs from the data runs (long parallel power and data runs in close proximity are never good).

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
