Hi Brian, <br />I'll chuck my 'two penneth' in. If your lights are getting progressively dimmer then they are wired in series, like most christmas lights. To maintain equal brightness they must be wired in parallel. <br />Series: Live cable goes to each bulb in turn and the neutral returns from the last lamp. <br />Parallel: Both live and neutral go to each lamp in turn. <br />You don't say if they are mains or transformer voltage (I don't know what your electrical regs allow), mains would be better. <br />I have 4 solar lights in my garden but plan mains floods next year in the bushes. If you use mains remember to protect the cable, armoured is the only way. <br />Cheers, <br />Kim <br />[tup] <br />Remember, if it's mains and you get it wrong it's [angel]
