I too bought Techmar as I was fed up with cheap solar packing up. Put it in around the time you did, unfortunately now it is giving trouble. Water getting into the connections and lights, ants making homes in lights. Anyone had experience of waterproofing this sort of stuff, and sealing it up against ants. Cables mostly shallow buried, maybe 50mm, just enough to hide the cables. Details: One of the Deimos eyelid lights popped most of its LEDs, www.gardenlightshop.com, the Techmar subsidiary, sells the LED PCB but not cheap. Some of the Atera post lights get ants in, I think I'll try squirting mastic in the cable entry. Some of the LD bulbs in the Atera post lights are failing, seems water is getting in, anyone found a way to waterproof them? Water seems to get in at the join between the glass and the post. Some connectors, single or triple are wet when you undo them, they were fully tightened because when I tightened a bit more the sleeve let the connector slide out. Anyone tried self amalgamating tape on connectors? might be too fiddly on the triples, the singles might work but I worry the tape won't seal around the figure 8 cable.
