I'm busy installing some irrigation lines underneath my deck, and since I've already got the pavers pulled and the trench dug, I figured I might as well bury some conduit so it'll be there in the future if I want to put in some lighting. The area is small; about 60 feet long and the lights would be installed in and around a new planting bed.
So, I have a couple questions:
1. The entirety of the area to potentially be lit is within 10' of the pool. From my limited understanding of code (from reading on here), that means I can't use low-voltage lighting (correct?). Normal 110v on a GFCI is OK. Wrong?
2. What size conduit, to have a couple different "zones" to be separately controlled? Just ballpark is OK, I want to be sure it's big enough.
I have no idea at this point what/when/who/how this will take place, but I don't want to pull up my pavers again. Thanks!
