Driveway Lighting

[richo106]

Hi All

 

As you can probably tell from my previous post I am now in full planning mode for my new driveway

 

I have attached a picture of driveway we (the mrs) would love, I am electrician by trade so something i can be hands on with. We are having block paving very similar to the ones pictured (Plaspave sorrento 60mm thick)

 

However I could really do with some advice/input on how to actually achieve this, in terms of block paving edging layout?

 

Would you lay the LED strip on the underside or horizontally under the lip and what would be the best to fix it? As access looks like it could be tricky!

 

I don't want the edging to be too high due to my levels and also so cars don't hit it if they pull over it etc..

 

Anything to help me on this would be amazing, many thanks

I think you're mostly on your own here. Suggest these are the options:

 

+ find someone who's done it before and ask them to do it for you.

+ find an off-the-shelf product / solution.

+ design it yourself - well you can sort out the electrics, which leaves the matter of the physical design of the edging.

 

Here's some leads:

Looks like your example is from a Kenyan company - maybe you can ask them to design it for you?

My guess is that it's not hugely maintainable, but LED strips are fairly reliable, no?
